History of Art taught by a professional in the art industry with an MA from The Courtauld

My school did not offer A-Level Art History and since that's what I wanted to study at uni, I needed Arlo's help. He is an absolutely brilliant tutor, with a very personalised approach - he understands the ins and outs of the Oxbridge application process and was an excellent mentor during the interview prep. An added bonus is that he seems to genuinely love what he does, which left me more confident in my ability and motivated to pursue my passion for art!

Would absolutely recommend Arlo to anyone looking for a friendly, reliable, and knowledgeable tutor in Art History!

I wanted to visit London and see some examples of Renaissance art. It’s not something that I had a great interest in and very little knowledge of but did feel as though I should at least find out why others are so taken with it. So as not to waste my time and dull the experience I asked Arlo for help and advice. He suggested that I visit the Courtauld Gallery in London and selected a few paintings to consider. I was lucky enough to have been accompanied by him on this occasion and I’m very glad that I was. His knowledge and enthusiasm around Renaissance art is amazing, he was able to furnish me with more answers than I had thought I had questions for and would never had thought to ask. From technical techniques of the artist through to his knowledge of and theories about the possible motivations of the artist, clients, audiences and the then world within which the art was being produced, it’s intended meaning at that time, how that meaning may have changed over time, what we know about the art, what we don’t know but can theorise about it. I genuinely did not know that I could take as much away from the experience as I did and will forever be grateful for it.
Less of a lecture in my case and more of a conversation from a very amiable and friendly teacher/guide who genuinely loves his subject and can communicate that knowledge and enthusiasm with ease. A great teacher and communicator.
Highly recommended.

Learning with Arlo has been a wonderful experience for me. Having known next to nothing about Art History, Arlo was a patient, confident, and extremely knowledgable teacher. Lessons were always fun - I felt my knowledge and interest in the subject growing from our first meeting. Highly recommend!

I am a family member of Arlo’s. I’m very familiar with Arlo’s work both academic and professional. He’s exceptionally well-read with a passion for western art history of all periods but with a focus on the Renaissance. He’s attained the highest standards in all his academic and employed work, which is always great quality. He has an in-depth understanding of his subject area which he can communicate articulately and patiently with a wide range of audiences, from beginner to expert.
Arlo has guided me around art gallery collections on many occasions, and as an art history novice I can say that I learned a great deal and was really inspired by Arlo’s innovative insight.
I can truly say that Arlo’s friendly, approachable and engaging approach to sharing his expertise and insight coupled with his outstanding depth of knowledge would be very beneficial to anyone wanting to learn more about art history, particularly the Renaissance.

Arlo is a great Art History tutor ! He makes learning fun and accessible and approaches lessons with a supportive and patient mindset. He has a super impressive depth of knowledge and lessons are genuinely tailored to your needs, while also allowing time for discussion, curiosity and critical thinking. I can’t recommend Arlo highly enough !
