Online 1:1 Architecture Portfolio Prep and Tutoring

From 168 C$ /h

I offer personalized online 1:1 tutoring for anyone who wants to create a strong, original and professionally presented architecture portfolio.

For high school students applying to architecture school, I guide the complete development of an admission portfolio—from discovering personal interests and generating creative project ideas to observational drawing, conceptual thinking, experimentation, model-making and final page design. No previous architectural experience is required. Together, we build a portfolio that demonstrates curiosity, imagination, creative potential and an authentic personal voice.

For architecture students applying to a Master’s degree, the tutoring focuses on presenting a higher level of intellectual and creative thinking. We develop a clear portfolio narrative while strengthening research, analysis, conceptual development, transdisciplinary connections, architectural experimentation and visual communication. The portfolio is carefully adapted to the character and expectations of the selected universities.

For graduates and professionals seeking architectural employment, I help create a focused professional portfolio that can attract the attention of leading architecture firms. We select and improve the strongest projects, clarify your individual and team contributions, and present your technical abilities through plans, sections, construction details, diagrams, models and visualizations. We also work on personal branding, graphic consistency, storytelling and the immediate visual impact of the portfolio, helping you communicate your value quickly and improve your chances of securing an interview and being hired.

Every student receives a completely individual process based on their goals, experience, application deadlines and target universities or architecture offices. You may begin with no portfolio, bring an unfinished one, or ask for a professional review and improvement of an existing portfolio.

I am an architect, artist, author, former Head of an Architecture Department and international lecturer with more than 25 years of experience in architecture, design, creative education and portfolio development. My role is not to impose a generic style, but to help you discover what makes your work unique and transform it into a clear, memorable and convincing portfolio.

Conceptual Sketching Course for Architecture Students

132 C$ /h

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.

Principles of using visualization methods for geometric shapes, front, top, back, and side facades, with an explanation of drawing methods on paper, along with the use of appropriate tools for engineering drawing, for students of mechanical, architectural, and industrial engineering and all engineering disciplines that study the subject of engineering design and its principles. Designs for products of mechanical elements and components can be made to be ready for drawing through programs such as AutoCAD and then 3D printing to visualize the product and then manufacturing and production. The courses also contribute to understanding shapes and ways to deal with them with the required sizes and engineering details and the types of paper suitable for engineering drawing.
