About Tara
I am a dedicated Architecture tutor with 8 years of experience teaching students across all levels, from beginners to advanced learners. Over the years, I have taught between 150–200 students, each with unique learning styles and goals. My teaching approach is rooted in personalized learning—I adapt every session to fit the student's pace, interests, and academic needs. Whether it's design principles, sustainable architecture, or mastering drafting software, I focus on building both technical skill and creative confidence. I’m especially skilled at helping students prepare compelling portfolios, refine project presentations, and think critically about space, form, and function. I also integrate visual tools, real-world case studies, and culturally responsive design practices to enrich the learning experience. My goal is to support students in discovering their unique architectural voice and succeeding in both academic and professional spaces. I believe architecture is a powerful tool for expression and problem-solving, and I’m passionate about helping learners bring their ideas to life.

My teaching strategy for Architecture is rooted in open communication, flexibility, accountability, and cultural sensitivity. I create a collaborative environment where students feel comfortable expressing ideas and asking questions. Each session is adapted to the learner’s pace, goals, and creative direction—whether they're preparing portfolios, mastering drafting software, or exploring sustainable design. I emphasize accountability through clear milestones and constructive feedback that supports steady progress. Cultural sensitivity plays a key role in my methodology, encouraging students to understand and respect how architecture reflects diverse identities, traditions, and environments. Alongside architecture, I also teach related subjects like urban planning, environmental design, and visual communication. I incorporate case studies, visual tools, and real-world projects to make lessons practical and inspiring. My goal is to help students develop both technical skills and a strong design voice, empowering them to think critically, create responsibly, and grow confidently as designers.
