Benj Walton - Tutors - Keystone Tutors

Experience

Before starting to teach History of Art full time in 2011 I had been tutoring regularly with Keystone Tutors for 3 years. I've lectured and led groups of art students around the Tate Britain on A level art and art history conferences. I tutor regularly for Art History Abroad - an organisation who take students on 2 or 6 week tours through Italy predominantly teaching art history but also philosophy, music, literature and classical civilisation.

Recent Keystone Work:

History of Art, Oxbridge Preparation: HISTORY OF ART - Dowling College, Cambridge - interview preparation (Started: November 2011)

History of Art: History of Art for boy doing A level re-sits (Started: November 2011)

Biography

I thoroughly enjoyed reading History of Art at Cambridge after leaving Winchester College with Art, Art History, English and Maths A levels. After graduating in June 2008 I have been gained as much varied experience in the art world as possible. I have been teaching History of Art at a central London independent school since September 2011 having worked for a gallery since 2009 and an art charity prior to that.

Personal Approach

I fully understand that exam syllabi and piles of lever-arch files can be daunting a few months before exams. My main priorities are therefore to focus students' learning and revision, to make their workload approachable, and to help them feel confident in their knowledge of the topics. I try to instil invaluable habits in essay planning, structuring and writing while also trying to nurture enjoyment in their subjects.
