Prize-Winning Architecture Portfolio (Undergraduate)

From 209 C$ /h

I specialise in tutoring architecture to BA/BSc students for undergraduate portfolio reviews.

If you need advise on your portfolio, design project for university, or advise on your architectural career, I can help you with one-on-one tutoring.

I myself won several awards at university and relieved a first-class degree from the University of Sheffield in Architecture, and a Masters of Architecture from the Royal College of Art. My project's have been exhibited in Sheffield and across London.
Since graduating I have worked for Hawkins\Brown Architects, Asif Kahn Architects, and Curl la Tourelle Head Architects.

I now run my own design studio in Hackney, London, working on community-focused projects.

Send me a message if you'd like to get tips and feedback on your work, introduce yourself and what you'd like tutoring on.
I look forward to meeting you virtually.

About Me

The value of insider experience from a young practitioner is priceless. Many tutors and universities do not make time to build relationships and mentor students.

Having survived both BA and MA architecture, I know exactly what you're going through - I can help with your anxieties, queries and help you enjoy your course.

Winning-prizes and getting a 1st-class degree will help you stand-out, and will ensure that you get the job you want in a top practice. This portfolio is the foundation of your career and will help determine where you will get accepted for your MArch.

I will help you build your portfolio giving you tips for success, design and presentation - skills that can seem impossible to master.

Prestressed concrete is a type of concrete in which certain stresses are applied to the concrete before it is subjected to any load or pressure during its use in construction. This is usually done by tensioning steel wires or rods into the concrete using special devices, and then the concrete is held in a prestressed position. Then, when loads are applied to the concrete during its use, these initial stresses enhance its ability to carry loads better.
Advantages:
Increased endurance: Helps to withstand heavy loads and high pressures.
Reduce cracks: It helps reduce cracks that may appear as a result of heavy loads.
Use less material: It can help reduce the amount of concrete and steel required compared to regular concrete.
Greater resistance to tension: Prestressed concrete is more resistant to tensile forces than regular concrete.
Uses:
Bridges: Commonly used in bridges, where concrete must withstand huge loads.
Tunnels: Also used in the construction of tunnels and underground passages.
High-rise buildings: They may be used in the construction of tall buildings that require high load-bearing capacity.

Are you looking to improve your drawing skills or you don't even know where to start but you dream of an art career? Or perhaps you have entrance exams coming up for art school or architecture studies and you want to ensure you will pass?
This is an individual course design depending on your request and your starting level. Each course includes lessons filled with instruction information, practice time and homework assignment. You can begin with Level 1 and continue further or choose to start on a specific level.

Level 1 - This course is an absolute beginner level. You can hold a pencil and a brush but the starting is so stressful and confusing. You're scared of making a mistake, you don't know where to begin, you're getting lost when it comes to composition or shading whenever you start to draw. I GOT YOU! Those are very common feelings when you start to draw and it can be discouraging, give you a feeling of being stuck or just very dissatisfied with your art.

In this course I will guide you through basic traditional art techniques such as pencil sketching, pen and ink drawing, watercolor, and acrylic painting. We will be studying composition, forms, shapes, structure and texture of different objects such as fabric, furniture, animal fur, plants etc. I’ll show you how to achieve depth in your shading, how to understand light, and the effect of fragility of plants or hardship and reflection of metal. I’ll teach you observation, things to look for in the drawing, but most of all I'll give you tools for future independent learning that will save you tons of time while figuring on your own!
The key to success is your motivation and time you will dedicate to your homework practice.

Level 2 - This course is directed towards people who have some basic understanding of traditional art media techniques such as pencil sketching, pen and ink drawing, watercolor, and acrylic painting. Your art is currently your hobby, but you would like to change it into a career? Know more about art as a business model, get insights into career tips and opportunities. Or do you want to improve your sketching skills, learn to digitise your work, create digital illustrations in Procreate, or combine it all in your own unique way?

Level 3 - Advanced. It will focus on your specific desire as an artist and adjust to your skills and technique preferences. During the first introduction skills, I’ll provide some exercises to see how you work and together we will find the way we can work and improve.

Hello everyone, I have been teaching ArchiCAD for over three years, guiding students from complete beginners to advanced users. In our lessons, we begin by exploring the interface and essential tools, then proceed to create floor plans for rooms and apartments, design single-family houses, and develop more complex projects, such as cafés and restaurants.

The entire course is taught in English, but I can also teach in Ukrainian and Turkish. The program can be fully customized to each student’s needs and goals. It will be a pleasure to meet you!

Online University Art and Design Portfolio Preparation.

Are you applying to university for a creative subject?

I offer personalised one-to-one online portfolio mentoring for students applying to art and design courses in the UK and internationally.

I am an experienced art educator, graphic designer and researcher with more than 30 years of teaching experience. Most recently, I taught international students at EF Academy Oxford, supporting learners from a wide range of cultural and educational backgrounds.

I am based in Oxford and can support students in university portfolio preparation to study Art, Graphic Design, Graphic Communication Design, Fashion Design, Architecture, Interior Design, Illustration, Photography, Textile Design, Product Design, Animation, Foundation Art and Design, and other creative programmes.

My guidance may include:

1- Developing original ideas and personal themes.
2- Strengthening sketchbooks and creative processes.
3- Developing creative ideas and experimenting with materials and techniques.
4- Strengthening drawing, painting, design and visual communication skills.
5- Selecting, refining and presenting work for university portfolios.
6- Personal-statement and interview preparation.
7- Understanding the expectations of UK art and design courses.

My approach is supportive, honest and individually tailored. I help students recognise what is already strong in their work and understand how to develop it further.

Portfolio preparation requires regular effort, so I work best with motivated students who are prepared to engage seriously with the creative process.

Online lessons are available internationally.
