 Art (degree, adult-learner, a-level)

Why me?

As an experienced CRB checked private tutor and ex-History of Art teacher, I am sympathetic to the unique pressures of History of Art AS and A2 Levels. I approach the syllabus according to the needs of the individual and approach the requirements of the exam board imaginatively.

What can I do for you?

• Hone visual analysis skills into articulate and precise observation
• Improve your essay writing style
• Assist with efficient and productive exam technique
• Incorporate your subjective engagement with art into your writing
• Aid understanding of and discrimination between different periods
• Contextualise what you learn at school with the bigger picture
• Take individuals and groups on gallery tours to discuss the works you study
• Advise on personal statements
• Provide Oxbridge and Courtauld preparation and support.

Availability: As I am freelance I have a great deal of availability and flexibility.

Willing to travel: 30 miles

Experience: I have been tutoring for the last 4 years for a number of agencies in London, including teaching History of Art A Level at a Sixth Form College for 2 years.

I have a range of experience, from 8 year - 18 year old students. My expertise lies in History of Art A Level, although I have taught English, History and Classical Civilisation in the past.

Qualifications: I have been passionate about the history of art since I chose my A Level subjects. Having achieved straight As at AS and A Level with a Distinction in AEA English, I read History of Art at Cambridge, achieving a 2.1, and continued my studies with a Masters at The Courtauld Institute, from which I graduated this July and gained a Merit.

I spend my time in the national collections, galleries and emerging artistic spaces, communicating with artists, participating in new initiatives, panel discussions, curating exhibitions and writing reviews. I have travelled extensively and visited many of the many respected museums and artistic destinations. I also have a diverse range of professional experience in the art world.
