Henrietta

Hello! I am an Oxford and Courtauld-educated art history & fine art tutor, researcher and artist. I have 10+ years of experience working with students from A level to University level and beyond. My aim is always, simply, to provide students with the tools and methods with which to reach their full potential. I am a highly committed tutor, and provide a tailored programme of study and personal academic development for all those I work with.

Alongside my tutoring work, I am a published writer and exhibiting artist, and have worked with clients including Manchester University, Biennial Foundation, National Theatre, Unit Editions, Oxford Brookes, Oxford University, AOTFD, New Art Centre, Somerset House and the London Art Fair.

The subjects I can provide tuition in are as follows -

• History of Art (A level, University level)

I have experience taking students through the History of Art A level syllabi for a number of exam boards (both for resits and alongside school work), as well as providing general study and essay writing support at this level. I have a strong track record in helping students achieve the highest grades, and have supported a several students into Oxbridge and Ivy League entry for this and related subjects. This is always ultimately down to the student's effort and engagement, but 1-2-1 work can really unlock potential in ways that classroom work cannot.

For adult and university level learners I specialise in offering general essay writing, research, portfolio-building and study skills support, and have supervised students through the completion of numerous coursework essays and dissertations, including at Oxbridge and Ivy League universities.

• Art tuition (A level, GCSE, university level and adult learners)

I am a practicing artist and this feeds into my approach to tutoring Fine Art and Art & Design at GCSE, A level and university level. I have worked with galleries, curators and other artists as well as with art schools, and combined with my academic training and experience am able to offer an unusually broad form of support for artists and those working on university or school art coursework. I have supported students in gaining entry to Central Saint Martins, London College of Communications, the Ruskin (Oxford), and the University of Southern California's Roski School of Art and Design.

• Maths, Reasoning (Verbal and non-verbal) and English (11+)

I provide English, Maths and V/NV Reasoning support for those studying for the 11+ examination.

Tutoring Experience

With over 10 years of experience as a private tutor and mentor, as well as experience in classroom settings, university entrance preparation and international exchange programs, I feel confident in using my skillset and intuition to make sure my approach is best suited to your particular way of learning and communicating. I have worked as a residential and homeschooling tutor with families across the US, Arab Emirates and Europe, and so also have experience with a wide range of international educational systems.

Tutoring Approach

I work in a highly personalised way and shape tuition delivery to meet student needs, which is especially important when working online. I have experience designing and running academic mentorship programs, which means my work as an academic and art tutor is informed by a holistic understanding of the different factors affecting educational attainment, confidence, self-regulation and motivation.
