I am a History of Art & Fine Art tutor with over 10 years` experience. I specialise in providing study and essay writing support for A level and University level students.

Since graduating from Oxford University (MA Human Sciences, 2.i) and the Courtauld Institute of Art (MA History of Art, Distinction), I have combined working as a private tutor with my own research, writing and artistic practice. I have worked with families as a residential tutoring in Saudi Arabia, Italy, France, the US, and have worked with many students for months or even years in London.

My approach is highly structured, meaning you will have clear goals and milestones to work towards, but also highly conversational - meaning your ability to think analytically and creatively will be developed in a way that is difficult to achieve within the classroom.

I usually work on a weekly basis with students, either online or through a combination of online and in-person work. My extensive experience designing and delivering online academic mentoring and coaching means I have also worked as a specialist consultant for tutoring organisations.

Availability: I am currently available to take on new students.

Willing to travel: 10 miles

Experience: I am an Art History and Fine Art tutor with over 12 years of experience working with ages 16-21+, primarily at A level and Undergraduate level.

General mentorship

I have experience tutoring History of Art with all major exam boards and have worked with a number of students who successfully gained places to study both Art and the Humanities and Social Sciences at Oxbridge and other Russell Group & Ivy League universities.

After my BA at Oxford in 2013 I completed an MA in Art History at the Courtauld Institute of Art, awarded distinction. My research specialised in post-war & contemporary photography and ecology, and I am especially interested in overlaps between art and science.

I offer tuition across all periods and media. As a tutor I can also offer academic coaching and support in academic writing and coursework in the humanities more broadly, as my BA was in the Human Sciences - an especially broad background for an Art Historian.

I have tutored students at universities including Oxford, Cambridge, The Courtauld, Bristol, Exeter, Edinburgh, LCC, London Met, CSM and Stanford.

Fine Art:
BA and MA
A level/Pre U
GCSE
13+

I have tutored students in Fine Art from GCSE to A level and beyond, including a number of adult learners. I have also long-term experience in working with neurodivergent students as an art tutor.

I have supported portfolio development for students who have gone on to secure places at prestigious art schools in London and in the US.

Less frequently, I have worked with students in the following subjects, in one case taking the grade up from a U to an A*: Philosophy Edexcel and OCR. Although I do not specialise in Philosophy, I am able to help students in any Humanities subject with academic coaching and writing mentorship, working with them collaboratively through the syllabus material.
