How Science And Art Are Connected

Academically, we are often brought up to think we are either a scientist or an artist. Through school what we are taught is divided up into discrete, even segments called subjects, each of which is treated as an individual speciality. In reality however, they meander and intertwine, extending and stretching their insights between each other. It is easy to pinhole [...]

Why Choose Art History As Your Degree?

Art History opens up a world where you can read art. I use the word ‘read’ deliberately because to unlock the deeper, complex meaning of art is a skill that goes beyond the pamphlet of an exhibition. By studying Art History you will gain the knowledge to make educated and thoughtful conclusions on art as you will be aware [...]

Best Tips For Revision

As exams approach in the summer, revision is soon to become a big part of the lives of all the Tavistock Tutors students. And whilst the tutors will be able to offer valuable help when they’re with the students, revision is largely an individual activity. There are many different approaches to revision and this blog outlines some good habits [...]

Is A London University Right For Me?

When choosing your university, getting the location right is almost as important as the course. When I decided that I wanted to study art history, I knew that there would be no substitute for doing it in London. With the greatest number of galleries, artist’s studios and art libraries in the country, it was an ideal place to build a [...]

Finding Your Own Learning Method

Everyone had varying experiences at school in terms of achievement, learning and personal interaction. Members in a classroom fulfil varying roles, weather it is questioning, socialising, leading, quantifying or entertaining. It is uncommon to see a whole class as an entity learning and working in the same way. We all seem to respond to information differently. It was not until my [...]

Advice On Taking Written Exams

Written exams are often the source of trepidation for students. Having spent a year or more studying a subject, school pupils and university students are expected to demonstrate their understanding and ability in the space of only an hour or two. This understandably causes some concern as students face the daunting prospect of remembering a large amount of information and [...]

Why You Should Learn More Languages

Working as a foreign language teacher in the UK for the last 20 years or more, I have often felt as if I have been bashing my head against a brick wall. British people are renowned for being monolingual and for expecting people in other countries to be able to speak English; if in doubt, the best option has always [...]

How To Make The Most Of University Life

It is almost the time of the year when the euphoric-all-too-entitled-fun of fresher’s weeks has disappeared to let the stressful-metaphysical ‘how-am-I-going-to-successfully-handle-this-year-on-my-own?’-question star in the biopic of your university tribulations. If you have just started university 3 to 4 weeks ago, you may avidly be reading this blog post hoping that I will give you the perfect recipe that will prevent [...]

How To Survive Your Oral Exam

It’s everyone’s worst nightmare. The record button is pressed and your teacher has just asked a question and you’ve got no idea what they said. You fumble around the words “je pense que…oui…” before a doomed silence falls over the strange, tiny office which you didn’t even know your school had and you look up at your teacher furiously gesticulating [...]

Why You Should Study Abroad With Erasmus

A simple glance at your newspaper of choice is all that is needed for a reminder of the uncertainty over Britain’s future within the European Union and especially a lack of clarity of Cameron’s renegotiation plans. Whilst the ramifications of a Brexit would be far wider reaching than simply impacting students’ ability to have a jolly in Europe [...]
