Award-Winning Art History Tutors
serving Tallahassee, 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.

Analyzing a work of art means reading it as a historical document — understanding patronage, religious context, political propaganda, and material culture all at once. Iris's anthropology degree from the University of Chicago gave her deep practice in exactly this kind of object-based analysis, from Paleolithic cave paintings to twentieth-century installations. She's particularly effective at teaching students to write the comparative essays and contextual analyses that AP and college art history courses require.

I'm an experienced teacher and tutor with a Bachelors in English from the University of Alabama and a Masters in Literature and the Humanities from St. Edward's University, looking to help my students share in my love of learning!

I'm Emma! I'm a rising senior Classics major at Carleton College in Northfield, MN. I study Latin, Ancient Greek, and the histories associated with the two languages. Outside of class, I'm an RA, and I spend 6-8 hours a week tutoring and teaching college access courses in a nearby high school. In the future, I hope to teach high school Latin!

I am a high school history teacher who has also worked as a teaching assistant at one of the country's top 10 colleges. I've taught ACT/SAT prep for about 4 years to students at all ends of the academic spectrum: from those working with learning disabilities/accommodations & struggling with timing to those trying to achieve perfect scores. Although I always create individualized plans, I focus on teaching every student the most effective, step-by-step way to approach each question on each section of the test. Beyond test prep, I've taught/tutored just about every academic subject through the undergraduate level. Outside the classroom, I enjoy reading about history, going to church, coaching sports (track & tennis), and spending time with my family. I really enjoy getting to know each student I teach as we work toward our goals.

Studying art history means learning to read a painting the way you'd read a primary source — asking who commissioned it, what conventions the artist followed or broke, and what the work reveals about its era. Kelly's liberal arts training and international travel give her a cross-cultural lens that's particularly useful when comparing Western European traditions to global artistic movements.

I am a sophomore at Stanford University, studying Art History and Modern Languages.

Claudia's undergraduate work in art history and classical studies means she can trace visual traditions from ancient Greek and Roman art through their Renaissance revival and beyond — giving students a sense of continuity that makes periodization click rather than feel arbitrary. Her library science training also sharpens how she teaches research skills, so students learn to find and use scholarly sources when building arguments about iconography or patronage.

I am currently in my second year at the University of Kansas. I am majoring in secondary history and government education and minoring in art history. Most of my tutoring experience comes from high school, where I peer tutored a student in her world history class. As an upperclassman, I also gained a lot of mentoring experience on my school's debate team as I helped new debaters learn the ropes of the activity. As my intended college degree reflects, I am most excited about teaching history, government, and art history classes, but I have a strong background in English as well. As a former AP and honors high school student, I would love to share the strategies that I found to be the most successful. I believe education not only improves society, but can help shape students to their fullest potential. I would love to be someone who facilitates that development. Outside of academics, I am a total bookworm, my favorite TV show is The Good Place, and I try to spend as much time outside as I can without getting a sunburn.

Studying both Child Development and Art History at Vanderbilt means Elena lives in two disciplines that are all about close observation — reading a child's behavior or reading a Caravaggio use surprisingly similar analytical muscles. She brings that dual lens to teaching students how to connect visual details like brushwork, spatial composition, and iconographic choices to the broader cultural moments that produced them.

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.

I am passionate about. I am very committed to my students' success and also happiness and hope through my tutoring my students will becoming increasingly confident and competent in whatever subject they wish to be tutored for. I strive to not only teach them the concepts and materials, but how to study more efficiently and develop conceptual capabilities that will benefit their academic career in the future.

I am very comfortable and confident in not only tutoring them but doing so at a level and style that students can readily follow and understand. I have taken higher level math courses and understand the fundamentals very well so it allows me to teach them in a way that is basic enough for anyone to understand.
