Personal Description:
I absolutely love teaching and helping students understand paintings from a more hands on approach and really looking at artworks.
I have studied art history for Leaving Cert, for my BA, MA and now my PhD.
I prefer one-on-one teaching in order to give students my full attention.
Tutoring Experience:
My teaching involves understanding the timeline of art history, identifying characteristics of different art movements, as well as comprehending the cultural context of the period.
I have a special interest in essay writing, with three year's experience correcting undergraduate essays, as well as providing workshops on writing skills, and being on the Editorial Board for Ireland's leading art history journal, Artefact, the Journal for the Irish Association of Art Historians.
My lessons are 60 mins.
I have three years experience tutoring art history at university level.
My lessons are for any age group.
Approach to Grinds:
I have three year's experience correcting essays and exams at university level, so I like to tackle the papers from an examiner's point of view. With essay writing, I will help you improve your grades by looking at formatting, structure, footnotes and essential readings.

We dissected an essay of mine in which I felt I could have got a better grade. Rachel took me through the stages of formal essay structure, correct ways of introducing critical analysis and reflective analysis and the importance of format.
We also explored appropriate language style needed in formal academic writing.
I feel confident now in my ability going forward as a good academic writer during my masters.
Rachel is friendly, approachable and she knows her stuff!… she will guide through academic writing no matter what discipline you are studying.
Thank you Rachel and I look forward to future guidance when I need it!
