"Hello! My name is Kelly and I am recent graduate with a Bachelor's in Art History. I have spent some time tutoring middle and high school students at various after school programs. I taught english at a summer camp for two years to groups of sixth and seventh grade students. I have also spent time prepping students for college applications and writing (and editing!) college essays.
During a typical tutoring session, I will first ask what you think you weak spots are within the subject, review your studying materials, get a feel for what you already understand and no longer need to study and from there focus on what material you need to review. I am a huge believer in constant repetition (especially in art history and history) through the use of flash cards, quiz games etc. I enjoy tutoring and realize that everyone learns differently and am willing to learn from you as much as you will learn from me!
I enjoy writing and worked as a writing tutor while in college. I am particularly well versed in art historical research and the many platforms needed to search for art journals. As a hobby, I have a blog solely dedicated to writing about art so, I am constantly coming up with ideas, writing and editing. As a writer, I often focus on creating a strong introduction because I believe that sets the tone for the rest of your paper!
Before studying art history, I very much enjoyed learning about history. In school I received high marks on quizzes, exams and papers when I took an American history class. Instead of looking at history as a bunch of material you need to memorize, I treat American history as this long novel where once you learn the chronological order of events, it is much easier to really zoom in a particular time and learn the specifics that will help you ace your quiz or exam!
After switching my major to art history (from just plain old history) in college, my advisor told me: "Art history is simply history but its better because it has pictures." Art History is my favorite subject, I majored" less...
