I’m a passionate tutor helping students succeed in reading, writing, spelling, and Art History. I hold a BA from Barnard College and a master’s in Art History from Columbia University, and I have extensive experience teaching Middle and Upper school students, as well as adult learners and travelers seeking to deepen their knowledge.

“Teach the way you would want to be taught” is my philosophy: clear, thoughtful guidance at a pace that works for each learner. I enjoy discovering each student’s unique strengths and creating lessons that are effective, engaging and fun.

As an art historian and curator working over thirty years in a major NYC museum, with hands-on teaching experience in college-level survey courses, I specialize in AP Art History and essay writing across all art periods—from ancient to contemporary. Whether your student is visual, hands-on, reflective, energetic, or an adult eager to learn, I tailor sessions to their goals, building confidence and deep understanding along the way.

Incredibly knowledgeable. She opened my eyes and I will see art in a better way now.

Holly and I set out to discuss the influence of the Renaissance in Italy on the Golden Age of the Dutch Masters. She laid out the criteria for making judgements. She showed me excellent examples of each side by side. We were able to compare dates and methods. She pointed out the fine points of each painting and even though I was familiar with most of them I learned how to look at them in a more insightful way. I am looking forward to doing some more tutoring with Holly.

Engaging and Patient Tudor

Holly possesses an exceptional ability to engage and keep my 5-year-old captivated throughout our tutoring sessions. Initially, I had some reservations about online tutoring via Zoom, but Holly has consistently exceeded all of my expectations, providing outstanding support and guidance every step of the way. The results we've observed in our son's reading comprehension and overall skills have been truly remarkable, and we are incredibly grateful for her dedication and expertise.
