I recently graduated magna cum laude from Southern Illinois University Carbondale where I earned a BA in Art History and a BFA double majoring in both Drawing and Painting. My most recent achievement included the Rickert-Ziebold Trust Award, a $5000 cash prize awarded for excellence in art which I received for my senior thesis work.

I attended SIUC on a Presidential Scholarship earned by my ACT score (32/36), a personal essay, and an interview. I am confident that I can provide excellent tutoring not only in art but in ACT preparatory studies, essay composition and editing, and communication skills. My most proficient area of study is English; on the ACT, I earned a 36/36 on the English section and a 35/36 in Reading.

Art History is fundamentally rooted in the ability to conduct research, analyze information, and compose a coherent document to present findings. I recently won the Tony Fehm Award for Art History with my essay about the photographer August Sander. With excellent grammar and punctuation skills as well as extensive knowledge in MLA and Chicago Manual Style format, I am well-suited to help in any sort of writing composition. I also worked as Senior Co-Editor on the SIUC literary magazine "Grassroots," so you can be sure that any document that passes under my gaze will be as close to perfect as possible.

Art History is also unique in that it encompasses all countries and all time periods; an extensive knowledge of world history, foreign languages, and geography is a must. I can provide essential study strategies for history and geography, and I know basic French and German.

During my high school career, I was very involved in Math Team, Scholastic Bowl, and Varsity Volleyball. Because of these activities, I am confident that I can tutor virtually any subject on a basic level. I am also good with a variety of special needs, particularly ADD/ADHD, having grown up with a special needs sibling and a mother who is a special education teacher. I also have exposure to Asperger's and autism spectrum needs.

Please do not hesitate if you have any questions or comments. I look forward to working with you!

Study Skills

As a college graduate who completed two degrees, one of which was a double major, in four years, I understand the importance of study skills and organization. I believe my personal habits in this are can be passed along to my students.

Drawing

I have a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree where I double majored in both drawing and painting. I learned how to employ composition to create a pleasing image. I also learned the importance of mark-making, and I utilized various strategies of line and shadow to create volume and form. I also focused on using contrast to push and pull form in space.

Volleyball

I played on a competitive team for 7 years, and I played recreationally for an additional 2. My main position was setter, but I also played right side hitter and occasionally defensive specialist. I was a starting varsity team member my junior and senior high school years; my junior year I was awarded "Most Spirited" on a team that took home our first conference championship, and my senior year I was captain and nominated for All-Conference. I would love to help train anyone interested in increasing... Read More

Painting

I have a Bachelor of Fine Arts in which I double majored in both drawing and painting. I learned how to render subjects within space, and how to use mark and application to push and pull forms in space. I particularly enjoy painting with oil, but I am also proficient with watercolor and acrylic. I won the prestigious Rickert-Ziebold Trust Award for my painting abilities.

Adobe InDesign

I worked as art director and senior co-editor for my collegiate literary magazine. I used InDesign exclusively to create our publication.
