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
verified badge
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.

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:

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.
