Embark on an enriching journey through the world of art history with me, a Sorbonne (Paris) educated art historian and experienced lecturer at a French college. As a native French and Italian speaker, I've spent extensive time in both countries, immersing myself in their rich artistic heritage. My international background also includes living in London, giving me a broad European perspective on art history.

- Tailored to Your Interests: Whether you're a beginner or an art enthusiast, we'll focus on the periods, movements, and artists that spark your curiosity.
- Grounded in First-Hand Experience: Benefit from my deep personal connection to European art, honed through living in France, Italy, and the UK. I'll share insights and stories that bring the art to life.
- Flexible and Adaptable: I offer both individual and group lessons, tailored to your schedule and learning style.

She explains information very well and is very consistent. She is confident in what she is teaching and helped me pass my Art History course. I was taking a college level course during high school and she made my time much easier.
Tosca is a phenomenal teacher and, frankly, storyteller. Her storytelling approach to French art history, which weaves in historical context and personal anecdotes, makes learning captivating rather than dull. Her genuine enthusiasm for the subject is immediately apparent and leaves me eager for more and more. I know I'll continue taking her classes to further explore this fascinating world.
Tosca's art history lectures aren't just informative, they're insider access. She doesn't just teach you about the paintings, she brings you the behind-the-scenes scoop from the art market – the kind of anecdotes and insights you'd never get from a book. That's why a one-on-one session with her is invaluable. It's like having a conversation with a knowledgeable friend who also happens to be an art world expert.
Tosca’s art history knowledge is as impressive as her ability to make it fun and engaging. She’s incredibly kind and bright, bringing positive energy to the entire tour.

I was never the 'artsy' type in the family, but I took Tosca’s art history class just for fun. And it was fun! Tosca doesn't talk down to you, even if you don't know a Picasso from a Pollock. She makes it all relevant to today, show you how art is everywhere, not just in fancy galleries. I actually look at the world differently now – in a good way! Highly recommend.
