architecture portfolio prep
Learn to draw like an architect
One-to-one online coaching for architecture school portfolios and entrance exams — from a qualified architect who has spent years teaching people to draw.
Admissions want to see your hand, not your software
Schools look for observation, three-dimensional thinking and the ability to communicate on paper. For applicants without a design background, confident freehand work often matters more than a digital portfolio.
You don't need existing architectural projects. You need drawings that show spatial thinking, confident linework and a developing eye.

How lessons work
Every lesson is 50 minutes, one-to-one on Google Meet — no group classes, no pre-recorded material. You draw during the lesson, I correct in real time with screen-share demos, and you leave with specific homework.
Got a deadline? Tell me the date and I'll build your lesson plan backwards from it. Same prices as regular lessons — see pricing.
I've never drawn seriously. Is it too late?+
No. Drawing is a learnable skill, and admissions value the development you can show over a few months.
How long until my portfolio is ready?+
Three to four months of weekly lessons is enough to build a coherent set of pages from scratch.
What materials do I need?+
Start with pencils and paper. We add ink, markers and watercolour step by step.
Can you review a portfolio I already have?+
Yes — book a single lesson and send me your pages beforehand.
Your portfolio starts with one lesson
