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.

Class description

Architecture drawing & portfolio preparation — one-on-one online

Learn to draw like an architect. Whether you're preparing for an entrance exam, building an application portfolio, or simply want your sketches to look like they belong in a studio, I'll get you there.

I'm Aliya. I have an architecture degree and nine years of teaching experience — over 1,385 lessons with students in more than 20 countries, from complete beginners to applicants who went on to get accepted.

What we cover:

Freehand drawing — the foundation every admissions committee looks for
Linear and one-, two- and three-point perspective
Constructing buildings and interiors from imagination, not just from reference
Light, shadow and tonal work that gives drawings depth
Rendering in pencil, ink, marker and watercolour
Entourage — trees, figures, cars, the details that make a sketch feel alive
Composition and page layout for portfolio presentation
Fast sketching under exam conditions

This personalized online 1:1 course teaches architecture students how to use sketching as a tool for thinking, exploring and developing original design ideas-not simply as a way of creating beautiful drawings.

You will learn how to transform inspiration, concepts and research into analytical diagrams, spatial studies and architectural sketches. We will explore composition, form, movement, light, material, scale and atmosphere while developing a clear visual process from the first idea to an architectural proposal.

The course is adapted to your individual level and projects. It is suitable for students who want to strengthen their design process, overcome fear of sketching, improve their studio work or create more meaningful portfolio pages. No advanced drawing skills are required-only curiosity and a willingness to experiment.

Learn SketchUp the way it is used on real interior design projects. I'm an interior designer and 3D visualizer with 9+ years of experience, and I have taught 200+ students since 2023.

What you will learn:
- SketchUp interface and clean modeling habits (groups, components, tags, scenes)
- Modeling a real room or full house step by step
- Furniture, materials and textures
- Photorealistic rendering with V-Ray or Enscape (lighting, cameras, walkthroughs)
- Presentation drawings in LayOut

Lessons are practical and project-based, and each one ends with a small task so you practice what you learned. I adapt the pace to your level, whether you are a complete beginner, a design student or a working professional who wants faster workflows.

Please note: All lessons are taught exclusively in English. I do not offer lessons in Dutch.

My lessons are designed for children and beginners who want to explore the world of graphic design and learn how to create their own projects.

We will start with the basics!

Before jumping into design software, we will explore the fundamentals of graphic design, including a little bit of design history and important design principles such as typography, color theory, composition and visual hierarchy.

Step by step, students will learn how to work with Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign and Figma.

I believe that the best way to learn design is by actually creating things! That's why my lessons include fun, creative assignments such as designing logos, posters, visual identities, websites and mobile app interfaces.

Every lesson will be adapted to the student's age, interests, experience and learning pace.

My goal is not just to teach students how to use design software, but also how to think like designers. I want to help them develop their creativity, solve problems and understand the decisions behind their designs.

By the end of our lessons, students will have their own creative projects that they can proudly include in their portfolios.

All lessons are taught in English, in a friendly and supportive environment where students are encouraged to experiment, ask questions and learn from their mistakes.

Are you ready to turn your book idea or raw manuscript into a stunning, professionally designed book ready for print? Whether you are starting completely from scratch or looking to polish and fix an existing file, this class gives you the practical skills and guidance to create industry standard publications.

In our lessons, we focus primarily on Adobe InDesign, the premier professional tool for interior layout and book production. You will learn:

• Master pages, margins, grids, and professional document setup
• Advanced typesetting, paragraph and character styles, and typographic hierarchy
• Handling complex layouts, image placement, tables, and book organization
• Integrating Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator seamlessly for covers, figures, and spot graphics
• Troubleshooting common layout mistakes, reflowing text, and cleaning up legacy files

In addition to design mechanics, I guide you through the technical self publishing process. We will cover preparing pre press, print ready PDF files specifically formatted for Amazon KDP, IngramSpark, or independent commercial offset printers. We will address bleed, color spaces (CMYK vs RGB), spine width calculations, and barcode placement so your book prints cleanly without rejection.

Every session is personalized to your individual project, whether you are publishing fiction, non fiction, photography monographs, poetry, or children's books. Beginners learning InDesign for the first time and experienced creators looking for advanced book techniques are both welcome.
