Tavistock Tutors offer tailored courses for everyone, from newcomers to the world of art who cannot tell a Manet from a Monet, to those studying fine art academically at a high level.
Our tutors have studied fine art at some of the most famous institutions in the world such as Oxford, Cambridge, Yale, and the Courtauld Institute. Their academic success means they are able to pass on to you those grade-changing ideas not available in any textbook or lecture.
Our tutors seek to make lessons informative, interesting, engaging, and easy to understand, but above all designed to meet your goals as quickly and easily as possible.
I believe that my professional and academic credentials set me apart from other tutors in this subject area. After I received a Distinction in my Masters, which specialised in French and British History of Art, I secured a job as a Curator of a private art collection in London. I worked here for two years acting as an art consultant,...
I care deeply about helping people to develop confidence in their ideas and their imaginative capacities and recognise that many of these pivotal moments happen whilst we are still in education. As a practicing artist I know how moving from tender beginnings of ideas into manifesting artworks requires real courage and commitment. Having someone someone you can trust in to...
My approach to tuition is to build a strong rapport with my students so that learning does not feel like a chore. I like to hone in on my clients’ interests and inspire their love for the subject, all the time maintaining a keen eye on the mark schemes and examiner reports so that their hard work is reflected in...
As someone who struggled at school, I understand first hand where some of these struggles may come from. Therefore, I prefer to take the non-authoritarian approach to my tutoring and like to be seen as more of a support system and friend. I am always striving to find new ways of helping students overcome any obstacles that may be stopping...
I believe in a supportive and enthusiastic approach to tutoring, with the core of my teaching looking not only to simply pass an exam, but for the student to gain wider knowledge and skills. I look to give my tutees a skill set that can benefit them throughout their life, with well rounded holistic tutoring that not only gets results...
I like to approach lessons by ensuring the student is completely comfortable with the specific skillset needed to approach a subject, both for the purposes of sitting an exam and to give the best preparation possible for later learning. Learning knowledge is only helpful to a certain degree; having a stable learning framework, and more importantly, knowing how to learn,...
I’ve worked & taught in the arts my entire life & have a unique understanding of the balance between one's expression of self & the feedback needed to improve Arts Education is about two main things: 1)Discovering & strengthening your creative voice. Whether it's dance, painting, or film there’s no way you can be taught what you want to express with your...
My approach to tuition is tailored to the individual. I will look through a student’s art work and discuss this with them in person, alongside the goals they have for the tuition and for the future. It is important for me to gain a student’s understanding of their own work so that we can work out a responsive programme that...
My approach to private tuition is to work with my clients; by initially meeting to understand their needs and ambitions; ascertain where a student is at in their current work. I can look at actual work made and also at the students understanding of this. This then gives me a realistic idea of the students strengths and weaknesses, and where...
Having had three personal tutors myself (for GCSE Physics, Maths and French!) I can honestly say having a personal tutor can make the world of difference. In a safe, fun and relaxed environment, one on one, is where I learnt how I learned best. As a tutor myself, it is imperative for me to work together with the tutee in order...
