Information About Kathleen:

Personal Description:

I am a Canadian graduate student at the Sotheby's Institute of Art. I am currently working towards my MA in Art Business. My BA (Honours) is in Art History and Criticism, and I took many courses in media studies and comparative literature as well.
I have always enjoyed taking English and literature courses and I am a tough, but fair editor of papers. I have also built up a lot of study skills and strategies that can be really helpful, especially for art students who have slide based exams. Having gone through one degree already, I am happy to help in general undergraduate university prep and study skill development as well.

Teaching Experience:

Throughout my undergraduate career I was a mentor for incoming university freshmen and I held tutoring and exam preparation sessions for comparative literature. I have also led student-run study groups for art history courses. Most of my teaching experience and skills comes from recently having finished a degree and having the whole experience and my study skills fresh in my mind!

Tutoring Approach:

When I am taking on a student, I really like to identify specific issues. I like to start by talking with the tutee to identify what they think are their issues and then I will read a sample of their work to understand their style and approach. the techniques that I use vary with the topic. For example, to prepare for an art history exam, I will work with the student on memorization techniques for slides. For English issues, I like to use visual diagrams to connect ideas, and for papers, I like to do a full reading of the paper and then sit down to identify re-occurring grammatical issues.
I am a fun tutor and I really like to work with students who are passionate about art or English- even if they are having difficulties. I am really patient and happy to work through issues at the student's own pace.

I am a very good editor (for both content and spelling & grammar) and can edit high school essays/uni papers/ and graduate work.
