About Michael
Actually, I never intended to become a tutor despite 13 years of experience in the field. My MEng Engineering degree from Stanford University gave me a rigorous framework for viewing structural challenges. I have taught 202 students ranging from hobbyists to A-level design students, beginners, and career switchers. I find that connecting math to physical intuition helps students grasp architecture much faster.
My work focuses on concept development, floor planning, design theory, portfolio development, building materials, sustainable design, design critique, and SketchUp. I enjoy the intellectual rigor of these sessions. What specific design goal are you currently trying to achieve?

Good results happen when you stop trying to memorize theory and start building your own physical intuition instead. I emphasize concept development and floor planning by breaking down complex spatial problems into manageable components. Beginners often struggle with SketchUp, but I provide a structured methodology that makes the software interface feel intuitive rather than overwhelming. We will work through sustainable design principles and material science to ensure your portfolio development stands out from the rest.
My teaching style relies on constant design critique to refine your eye for proportion and structural integrity. A-level students and career switchers will find that this methodical approach clarifies the entire creative process. Are you ready to begin your first drafting project with me today?
