  • When and why did you develop an interest in your chosen field?

    It all started when I was at a very young age, drawing the basic triangle roofed house we all drew when we were young, with the smiling sun and some trees around. I used to love drawing, but even more, going into details and questioning every single part of what I now call architecture. Moreover, before entering architecture school, I used to site-intern with my grand-father who was one of the greatest construction contractors in town, with a wide knowledge in the construction industry, people used to call him "the professor Hanna".
  • What makes you passionate about your subject?

    Architecture is all about passion. You cannot be an artist without being passionate and fully focused and immersed in what you are doing... Same thing with architecture. Being able to study architecture for seven years and finishing valedictorian of my masters degree was all about my passion for the field.
  • What do you like about tutoring? What makes you a "Superprof"?

    What I like about tutoring is the ability to convey my knowledge and every thing I have learned about this field to my students, in my very personal way, making them love what they are working on. Architecture is a very stressful and energy draining career, I want to give my students every tip I can to make their lives easier.
  • Do you have any role models; a teacher that inspired you? Please explain.

    I am very influenced by one of my university professors, who had a very successful career in architecture, built a variety of stunning projects, and was also a university professor. I remember that he had a very effective learning strategy, he was one of the few professors who had all his students listen to the whole 120 minutes of his architectural analysis class. I am in weekly contact with him and I consider him my mentor.
  • What are your keys to success?

    In my opinion and experience, the keys to success are:
    Being patient and consistent, Listening more than talking, Being curious and asking, Start with the end in mind, and most importantly Never give up, even when everything tells you to do so!
