About Isaac

I currently teach Edexcel History of Art for an educational charity in London. I also lecture on the public programme at the National Gallery.

Holding both undergraduate and postgraduate degrees in Art History, I have written for several Art History publications, including The Burlington Magazine, Burlington Contemporary and a-n. I am subscribed to the DBS update service and have previously undertaken Safeguarding and Child Protection training.

I believe myself to be a passionate and articulate speaker, with a desire to help students when they find things difficult. I overcame dyspraxia to achieve excellent academic results and appreciate that, at least at first, not everyone finds things easy. However, I have confidence that with diligent graft anything is possible.

I have previously taught the following A Level History of Art (Edexcel) modules:

A – Visual Analysis
B1 - Nature in Art and Architecture
B2 - Identities in Art and Architecture
B3 - War in Art and Architecture
C1 - Invention and Illusion: The Renaissance in Italy (1420-1520)
C2 - Power and Persuasion: The Baroque in Catholic Europe (1597-1685)
C3 – Rebellion and Revival: The British and French Avant-Garde (1848-1899)
C4 - Brave New World: Modernism in Europe (1900-1939)

When not tutoring, I like to paint, run marathons, travel, read literature or watch independent cinema.

Previous Experience:

Edexcel ‘A’ Level History of Art: Tallulah (Upper 6th) 40 Hours
• Help designing and executing a revision schedule.

Reference from Tallulah’s Mum, Kirsty: I would just like to add my thanks for the time and effort Isaac has made, he got on very well with Tallulah and she enjoyed their revision sessions together, feeling that she had gained a fresh perspective on her own knowledge and understanding of the subject. Isaac was very supportive and gave her some much needed confidence.  I am very glad we found him! THANKYOU ISAAC.

About the lesson

All languages in which the lesson is available :

English

I am an enthusiastic A Level Art History teacher, who has previously worked for schools (Wychwood School, Oxford and Collingham College, London) and educational charities.

I have developed resources (PowerPoints and Revision Notes) suitable for revision classes. I also have a good understanding of the A Level Art History syllabus and exam, which means that I am in a position to help students to develop effective question-answering techniques. I have worked with learners across all levels of achievement, learning to differentiate teaching methods to suit the student and have prior experience teaching students with Special Educational Needs and/or English as an Additional Language.
