Private Tutoring with Award-winning Architect with over two decades of Academic and international professional industry experience.

Methodology

I'm extremely passionate about architectural education. I (was/have) educated myself at numerous world-class institutions, gaining three first-class degrees and winning a number of awards for my own academic projects. I have private tutoring and guest critic experience both here in the UK and overseas. Since graduating from my Masters in 2010 and becoming a chartered Architect in 2014 I have retained a connection to academia through my pedagogical practice and (by) attending postgraduate summer schools and masterclasses around the world (Bartlett UCL, AA, RMIT, Berlage TU Delft, FSA, Harvard, MIT, ETH).

My purpose as a teacher is really to make my students feel confident in your ideas and empowered with the requisite skills that you no longer feel the need to seek out help and assistance. I typically advise students through the design projects, assisting them to achieve their full potential and attain the best possible grades. I also place focus on the emergence and formation of you as a designer, the ethos, branding, graphic identity (resume and portfolio) and professional image, in preparation for the competitive work industry.

I have a deep-rooted passion for teaching and learning; conveying the complex role of the architect within contemporary society and inspiring the development of an original, provocative or independent mindset. (Having travelled to over 70 countries,) I strongly believe in the importance of travel so aspiring architects have direct experience with architecture, cities and urbanism, building up a response to the world by finding out how buildings are made for other cultures and societies.

In addition, I have knowledge and experience of practically all architectural computer software (Autodesk Revit, AutoCAD, Rhino 3D, SketchUp Pro, Microstation, Vectorworks, Vray), I have advanced skills of physical model making and digital fabrication. I have experience working in professional model shops in Manchester and Vancouver and the digital fabrication labs at TU Delft and the Architectural Association in London.
