Tutors

The right tutor for each student

Every student is paired with a tutor whose educational background, professional experience, and teaching strengths align with their interests, application goals, and target courses.

Tutors are selected for strong architectural knowledge, considered design judgement, and the ability to offer clear, constructive guidance. Across the studio, tutors have studied or taught at the University of Cambridge, the Architectural Association, the Royal College of Art, UCL, the University of Bath, ETH Zurich, and Princeton University, and have worked at practices including Herzog & de Meuron, OMA, and Foster + Partners. The aim is a consistent and supportive relationship that helps each student develop confidence, independence, and work of a high visual and intellectual standard.
