Hello,

My name is Danielle Coates, and I am an experienced online tutor based in the UK, specialising in the History of Art. I hold a PhD in Art History, with an emphasis on the historiography of the discipline, from the University of Oxford.

In the past decade, I’ve gathered a significant portfolio in art historical research, historiographical studies, and pedagogical practice. My expertise encompasses a broad range of topics within the History of Art, such as the evolution of art historical methodologies, key theories, significant art historians, and influential movements in art history. I am skilled in teaching these subjects across diverse educational stages, from GCSE and A-Levels to undergraduate and postgraduate programmes.

My pedagogical philosophy centres on fostering a deep understanding of the historical context and evolution of art history as a discipline. I tailor my teaching methods to fit each student’s unique learning style, ensuring they not only grasp the subject matter but also cultivate a genuine interest for the History of Art History.

As an online tutor, I am adept at using various digital teaching platforms, creating engaging and interactive learning experiences. I am recognised for my ability to simplify complex historiographical concepts, my patient and motivating teaching demeanour, and my commitment to each student’s academic journey.

Beyond just teaching, my goal as an educator is to instil a profound understanding and love for the History of Art History in my students. I endeavour to develop their analytical and critical thinking skills, which are crucial in the study of the historiography of art. With my professional expertise and commitment to personalised education, I am excited to guide students towards their academic goals while igniting a lifelong fascination for the History of Art History.
