Award-Winning Art History Tutors
serving Lakeland, FL

Few art history tutors have actually made art professionally. Emily's MFA in Photography from SCAD means she can explain compositional choices, material techniques, and visual rhetoric from the inside — whether a student is analyzing a Baroque altarpiece or a Cindy Sherman self-portrait. She teaches students to build interpretive arguments that connect formal analysis to broader cultural and historical contexts.

As a studio art major who spends time both making and studying art, Parker brings firsthand creative context to art history concepts like formal analysis, iconography, and period identification. He teaches students to look at a painting or sculpture and articulate not just what they see but why the artist made specific compositional choices within a broader cultural moment.

Every painting, sculpture, or building is an argument made in stone or pigment — and Vivian reads those arguments fluently. Her Medieval Studies and Classics training at Fordham covers iconography, patronage systems, and stylistic evolution from Greek temples through Gothic cathedrals, while her current role as a museum educator means she's practiced at making visual analysis intuitive rather than abstract.

I am a graduate of Florida State University, where I received a Bachelor of Arts in Art History and English, and University of North Carolina--Chapel Hill, where I received a Master of Science in Library Science. I currently work as Assistant Curator of Visual Resources in the History of Art department at Vanderbilt University. In my downtime I enjoy reading and hiking with my dog.

I am excited to tutor English writing and literature as well as studio art because both enable students to develop their own ideas and creativity.

I am a recent graduate of NYU Drama and an avid learner. My goal in working with students is to cultivate a passion for the material, to contextualize the content, and to transfer that excitement into articulate conversations. For me, anything and everything is an opportunity to gain insight whether inside the classroom or out. I have always loved guiding people through material - whether in an art museum with my parents or in class with my friends. This passion for school is augmented by a deep understanding of learning techniques and study skills. So while I believe the key to a student understanding material is a deep engagement with it, I also have tools to help recall and organize information. I specialize in History, Psychology, English, Reading, and Writing. I have experience with a wide variety of age groups from 10 to 18.

Nadja holds both a bachelor's and a master's degree in Art History, giving her deep fluency in everything from Byzantine iconography to Postmodern installation — and the critical frameworks that connect them. She teaches students to analyze formal elements like composition, color, and medium alongside the political and cultural contexts that shaped each movement. Rated 5.0 by students, she makes visual analysis feel like detective work rather than rote memorization.

I am enthusiastic about helping others reach their educational goals. Whatever the task, no matter how long it takes, I will make sure you get the most out of your sessions and will tailor my personal approach to whatever you need.

Mariam's BFA means she learned art history the way it was meant to be learned — standing in studios, understanding how materials behave, and seeing why a Caravaggio chiaroscuro or a Rothko color field hits differently when you've actually mixed paint. She teaches students to connect technique and medium to the cultural moment, turning slide identifications into stories they can actually remember and write about. Rated 5.0 by students.

I'm starting at Boston University Law School with a full scholarship this fall. I have B.A. degrees in economics and in international relations. I'm passionate about teaching. My favorite jobs have involved working with students. I began working with high schoolers and middle schoolers at the Edward M. Kennedy Institute for the U.S. Senate, giving tours of the building while simultaneously leading debates on current Senate bills. Since then, I have worked as an English SAT tutor. I was also the teaching coordinator of the community service branch of Boston University International Affairs Association for two years.

Mat's history minor at NYU and his extensive travel across cultures give him a useful angle on art history — he teaches students to situate works within the broader political, economic, and social forces that produced them, whether that's Medici patronage driving Florentine art or colonial encounters reshaping visual traditions. His finance and strategy background also sharpens his ability to break down the patronage and market dynamics that shaped artistic production across periods.

I am a graduate of Oberlin College, where I attained two Bachelor's degrees in English and Ancient Latin Language and Literature. I am a licensed teacher with a diversity of experience working with young people. For the past 10 years, I have tutored students of all ages and in a variety of subjects, with a strong focus on K-12 mathematics. I am pursuing a Master's degree in Elementary Education and a TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) certification. I am extremely passionate about teaching and work daily to improve my craft. Students, parents, supervisors, and colleagues have described me as efficient, extremely patient, creative, and caring.

This is Luke's home turf. He earned his MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and has taught art history at the college level, covering everything from Romanesque sculpture to contemporary installation. He unpacks formal analysis — line, composition, materiality — alongside the historical context that explains why Caravaggio's chiaroscuro or Duchamp's readymades mattered when they appeared.

Few tutors bring Anneliza's combination of a BA in Art and a Master's in Landscape Architecture to art history. She connects movements like Baroque, Impressionism, and Modernism to the built environments and design philosophies that shaped them, making visual analysis and period identification click in ways a textbook alone can't.

Jennifer's communication and rhetoric training translates surprisingly well to art history, where every exam answer and essay boils down to constructing a persuasive argument about what you see and why it matters. She teaches students to move from vague impressions to structured visual readings — identifying how composition, symbolism, and historical context work together to support a clear thesis. Rated 5.0 by students.

Art history isn't Miguel's core discipline, but his English training in close reading and textual analysis translates surprisingly well to visual analysis — breaking down composition, symbolism, and historical context in a painting the same way you'd unpack a poem. He's strongest at teaching students how to write the comparative essays and formal analyses the subject demands.
