Allison K.
Private tutor in New York, NY
Education
I recently completed a PhD in Art History and Archaeology from NYU with a concentration on Roman art and architecture. Having received a Masters from the University of Oxford in Classical Archaeology (2011) and graduated Summa Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Arts in History from Clemson University (2010) and Minors in Music and Italian, I am well-versed in many subjects.
Experience
One of my greatest passions is teaching, and I consider myself incredibly fortunate that I have the opportunity to combine my research interests and teaching so seamlessly. I am certified by the College Reading & Learning Association to tutor a variety of academic courses at the university level, but I can tutor at all levels from beginner to advanced, children to adults. I have worked two years tutoring in a college setting, and several years giving private tutoring lessons to both middle schoolers and adults. Beyond private tutoring, I have also taught at NYU, CCNY, and Clemson undergraduate and master's-level courses and have served as a major fellowships advisor. In this position I managed, critiqued, and mentored top honors undergraduate students as they applied for major fellowships such as the Fulbright, Rhodes, Goldwater, and NSF. Other Qualifications: - Italian - minored in the language during undergraduate studies, conducted research regularly in Rome, and have traveled extensively throughout the country. I also spent 5 months teaching an undergraduate Italian language course to students in preparation for study abroad. - History/Art History/Social Sciences - as my main area of focus, I am adept in advising and tutoring all aspects of the field, particularly as it pertains to western civilization. Please feel free to ask me for a CV or references!

Hobbies
Some of the best and most memorable moments of my life have taken place while traveling and meeting new people along the way. In my spare time, I find myself most happy when I am immersed in music (both performing and attending concerts), conversation, cooking, reading, watching film, and photography. As an anomaly, I am also a big sports fan (particularly when it comes to college football and international soccer)!
