Meet our tutors - Heloise Coffey

Heloise is another one of our talented tutors who is truly passionate about what she teaches. She was always interested in literature, art and history, and she gained a BA, MA and a PhD following her deep interest in these subjects. Having always lived in the south-east of England, Heloise was aware that the region is overflowing with a history of famous artists and writers. It was obvious to her that she needs to turn her attention to following this history personally, and she began to visit the places they lived and the locations they enjoyed. Heloise says: "As a keen walker, I have, in many instances, literally followed their paths".

And whilst she juggles a busy home life with her teaching career and research, nothing is more important to her than her passion. As she says herself, "nothing gets in the way of my pursuing my love of art history, both visual and written".

Heloise's courses are truly fascinating as she packs them full of her own wide knowledge and digs deeper into the subjects of the course, providing students with lesser-known facts and quirky aspects of artists' or writers' lives. She truly helps to bring them to life in a classroom environment. She enjoys interacting with all her learners at an individual level and shapes her classes around the students.
