She shares some key business tips to do with marketing, planning, building relationships and the importance of doing a SWOT analysis on your business but overall, she talks about the joy she gets from tutoring and taking artists and students to beautiful and exciting places to paint.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In the second half of the episode, Peter, Tom and Mary-Anne talk more about what it takes to be an art tutor; how to start, how to develop, finding your style and the skill of teaching what you love, to other people.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In conclusion, Tom asks Mary-Anne about the abundance of art holiday providers and how students, and tutors, can weed out a &#8220;good&#8221; one from a &#8220;bad&#8221; one; what are the questions we should be asking, and how do we know who we can trust to work and travel with.<\/p>\n<p>For more information about Mary-Anne and Art Safari, visit <a href=\"https:\/\/artsafari.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">artsafari.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Tom&#8217;s website: <a
