Overview

Transitioning from learning data science theory to solving actual business problems is the hardest step for any aspiring data professional. [Insert Chosen Course Title] is an intensive, mentor-led program designed to simulate a real-world data team environment. Instead of working through synthetic, pre-cleaned textbook datasets, you will take on messy, complex industry scenarios and turn them into end-to-end data products.

What You’ll Experience

End-to-End Execution: Walk through the full data lifecycle—from problem scoping and data extraction to exploratory analysis, modeling, and executive stakeholder presentation.

Industry-Standard Workflows: Work with messy real-world datasets, practice Git-based version control, write production-ready code, and structure reports that business leaders actually care about.

1-on-1 & Group Mentorship: Receive continuous code reviews, architectural feedback, and project guidance mirroring the experience of working under a Senior Data Scientist or Analytics Lead.

Portfolio-Ready Deliverables: Graduate with 2–3 complete, polished projects that demonstrate actual business value to hiring managers—not just another churn prediction copy-pasted from Kaggle.

Who This Is For
Aspiring Data Analysts, Data Scientists, and recent graduates who know Python, but want the practical experience, confidence, and portfolio needed to land high-impact roles in the industry.

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.

I’m a SideFX Certified Instructor and 3D artist with 20 years of experience in CGI. I offer one-to-one online Houdini lessons tailored to your level, interests, and goals.

If you’re new to Houdini, we can start with the interface, nodes, attributes, and the principles of procedural modeling. If you already use it, we can focus on VEX, simulations, lighting and rendering, or building more effective procedural workflows. I can also help you understand and troubleshoot a project you’re working on.

Lessons are practical: we’ll work in Houdini together, and I’ll explain the reasoning behind each step so you can apply what you learn independently. Before our first session, tell me about your experience and what you’d like to achieve, and I’ll prepare a lesson around it.

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.

I’m a SideFX Certified Instructor and 3D artist with 20 years of experience in CGI. I offer one-to-one online Houdini lessons tailored to your level, interests, and goals.

If you’re new to Houdini, we can start with the interface, nodes, attributes, and the principles of procedural modeling. If you already use it, we can focus on VEX, simulations, lighting and rendering, or building more effective procedural workflows. I can also help you understand and troubleshoot a project you’re working on.

Lessons are practical: we’ll work in Houdini together, and I’ll explain the reasoning behind each step so you can apply what you learn independently. Before our first session, tell me about your experience and what you’d like to achieve, and I’ll prepare a lesson around it.

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.

I am a dedicated architecture tutor and a graduate of Yale (M.Arch II) and HKU. With over 9 years of experience since 2017, I have successfully guided dozens of students into top global programs, including GSD, UPenn, GSAPP, UCL, HKU, Polimi, TU Delft, etc. My professional background combined with my patient, structured approach ensures that students not only build outstanding portfolios but also develop a deeper understanding of architectural design.

With a background spanning mainland China, Hong Kong, and the US, I have developed an understanding of and sensibility for the academic cultures and design standards of leading universities in the US, the UK and the Commonwealth, and Asia.

Based in Shanghai, I specialize in conceptual and narrative-driven portfolio development. I help students with:
Refining existing projects;
Developing new projects through one-on-one tutoring;
Competition design;
Architecture portfolio reviews for graduate school applications;
Project storytelling;
Portfolio organization and image editing/manipulation;
Graphic layout and visual identity;
Modeling and software troubleshooting;
CV and personal statement development;
Interview preparation, etc.

Availability (EST): Regularly 7:00–11:00 AM; occasionally 8:00 AM–12:00 PM.
