History of Art, History, English, Humanities
A Cambridge History of Art graduate with a Master’s in the History of Architecture from the Bartlett, Josephine specialises in urban, social and aesthetic history and critical theory.
Josephine attended Camden School for Girls, a North London comprehensive, achieving straight A*s and As at GCSE and A-level, with full marks in her final A-level History and English exams. She studied History of Art at the University of Cambridge, winning a grant to spend six months in Mexico City researching Mexican architectural modernism with the National University of Mexico’s archives, and went on to a Master’s in the History of Architecture at The Bartlett, UCL.
Josephine’s specialisms are urban, social and aesthetic history, philosophy and socio-economic and socio-political theory, and she is comfortable across the humanities and social sciences. She has experience working with children as an au pair in Madrid and as a childminder in London.
Educated at a comprehensive, Josephine knows the value of becoming a dedicated independent learner. She shares study techniques for memory and understanding under pressure, helps students find original sources and meet strict academic criteria, and encourages creative thinking. Patient and consistent, she aims to spark enthusiasm in students who lack confidence.
