About Tara

As an Architecture tutor, I specialize in helping students develop both technical accuracy and design confidence. My teaching covers drafting techniques, structural basics, spatial planning, and the use of essential software such as AutoCAD, SketchUp, and Revit. I aim to ensure students can move seamlessly from concept to construction-ready designs. I’ve worked with university architecture students, aspiring professionals, and hobbyists passionate about design. My approach is highly practical, with each lesson tailored to the learner’s projects and skill level. We often work on refining portfolio pieces or preparing detailed plans for academic submissions. I incorporate case studies from iconic architectural works to show how theory translates into real buildings. Sustainability and efficiency are always part of the conversation. My mission is to give learners the skills and confidence to turn their visions into buildable designs.

I approach Architecture tutoring as a mix of creative coaching and professional skill-building. Students work on mastering core principles like spatial organization, design composition, and technical drawing. Alongside these, we explore software tools such as AutoCAD, SketchUp, and Rhino to bring concepts to life.

For students preparing applications or entering the job market, I place special emphasis on portfolio creation. We work on layout, project selection, and written descriptions that effectively communicate design intent. Every session includes feedback designed to sharpen presentation skills.

Case studies of successful architects help learners understand how to position their work within the industry. We also discuss emerging trends, such as parametric design and sustainable construction techniques. By the end, students are equipped with both creative confidence and professional readiness.
