About Nicholas
I hold a PhD in the History of Art from the University of York, MA(RCA) History of Design, Royal College of Art and a BA in Fine Art from Maidstone College of Art, the institution that produced several of the leading Young British Artists of the 1990s. I have taught art and design history in further and higher education and major national museums for nearly thirty years. I have taught at the Kent Institute of Art and Design, the University of York and the University of Kent and led the art, design and media provision at a major Further Education College in the South East of England. I have also worked with design-led companies in the UK and consulted for the Arts Council of England and the Design Council. I now have an independent practice as a sculptor and curator informed by ongoing and innovative art historical research.
I have assisted many hundreds of students to achieve their academic and professional objectives; my former students now work at the highest levels of academic art history and at the cutting edge of the creative industries. My experience enables me to add significant value and help clients develop independent judgement and understanding to support their individual academic and creative objectives. I have a sound generalist knowledge of the history of Western art and associated subjects but my theoretical specialisms are Modernist visual art and specific aspects of cultural theory under the headings of object-oriented thought, temporalities, Romantic anti-capitalism and Accelerationism.

- Which qualifications do you prepare your students for? A Level Art History. Undergraduate and Master's Level History of Art, History of Design both as academic degrees and within vocational qualifications in art and design. - Describe your arrangements for online tutoring. I'm very happy to tutor via Zoom, Teams and email. I also have my own website to which I can upload resources that support teaching and learning. Online-only delivery is quite possible, and a combination of online and offline delivery can be tailored to meet individual needs. - Do you have a personal message for students? Whose point of view is recorded by works of art and the institutions that surround them? How do artists negotiate 'theory'? Can art ever make us good or happy? I find these questions fascinating and I hope you do too. Whatever your taste or interest in art, I can guarantee you'll encounter some extraordinary and beautiful things as you study and that your confidence in your own judgement and understanding, either as a viewer or a creator of art, will be significantly developed.
Recommendations
Recommendations come from relatives, friends and acquaintances of the teacher
My daughter was predicted, at best, an E grade in History of Art but went on not only to pass the AS exam but achieved an impressive A grade. Mr Shaddick was the decisive contributing factor to her turn-around and his knowledge of the history of art, his teaching skills and understanding of the exam requirements brought out the best in my daughter. His services, for me, were money well spent and would not hesitate recommending him - I'm definitely retaining him through my daughters A2 exams next year.
“Nick gave me the confidence to go forward and expand my studies. His enthusiasm for his subject and ability to explain and bring to life paintings was infectious and exhilarating. I achieved an A* at A-level and went on to study History of Art at degree level. His help was invaluable.”

Details
I can tutor face-to-face at any suitable location in Kent and East Sussex (Folkestone, Ashford, Hastings, Tenterden, Sevenoaks, Tunbridge Wells, Maidstone) or at my own home in St Leonards on Sea. I am also very happy to work within gallery and museum environments in London and the South East when appropriate. Travel to locations further afield, particularly Central and South London will always be considered, but given the time and cost of travelling to your location it's best to contact me directly to discuss your requirements. Online tutoring is available nationally and internationally to English speakers. - When are you available? Flexible within normal working hours, evenings and weekends. My academic research commitments are variable. - Which ages and levels do you teach? 16+, with no upper limit! I have successfully tutored people of all ages and many different objectives. I have considerable experience coaching those who wish to gain an undergraduate or postgraduate place at a specific university or art college.
