About Will
Hi, I’m Will, a Chartered Architect with over 25 years of experience in the construction and architecture industry. My career has taken me from hands-on craftsmanship to architectural practice and academic mentoring, giving me a unique perspective I love sharing with aspiring architects. I began in joinery and cabinet-making, developing a strong foundation in detail and design, before transitioning to drafting for large retail fit-out projects. For the past 14 years, I’ve worked as a Chartered Architect on diverse projects, including Automotive Retail, Ecclesiastical Architecture, Charity Housing, and Medical Facilities. As a university lecturer on a RIBA- and ARB-accredited course, I’ve mentored countless students, fostering a learning environment that’s fun, supportive, and tailored to each individual’s pace. I’m passionate about inspiring the next generation of architects through a balance of creativity, practicality, and a love for the craft.

My Approach to Tutoring and Teaching I bring a wealth of expertise to my tutoring sessions, drawing on my experience as a degree lecturer on a RIBA and ARB-accredited course and as a concept and project architect for a Chartered architectural practice in the South East. My sessions are tailored to support aspiring architecture students in building a strong foundation for their academic journey. Techniques and Teaching Methodology My teaching style emphasises both technical and creative aspects of architecture. I focus on: • Architectural Drawing Basics: Introducing students to essential tools and techniques. • Basic Design Strategies: Helping students explore spatial design principles. • Site Analysis and Precedent Styles: Teaching how to evaluate and draw inspiration from historical and contemporary projects. • Developing Visual Libraries: Encouraging students to collect and analyse visual references to inspire their work. • Historical Context: Connecting design strategies to their cultural and historical significance. I also provide mentorship for university preparation, including guidance on choosing the right course and writing recommendations for students I’ve worked with. Typical Lesson Length Lessons are typically 1-2 hours, depending on the student’s objectives and time availability. I offer flexible scheduling to accommodate intensive preparation when needed. Qualifications and Experience I hold the following qualifications: • HNC Construction • BA Hons Architecture • Masters of Architecture • Advanced Postgraduate Diploma in Architectural Practice These academic credentials, combined with my 20+ years of industry experience and role as a university lecturer, allow me to provide both theoretical and practical insights to my students. Who the Lessons Are For I specialise in tutoring: • Students preparing to undertake an architecture degree who need foundational skills and guidance. • High school students or early university applicants looking to explore the basics of design and architectural theory. • Those seeking university application mentoring, including advice on portfolios and academic recommendations. Whether you are starting your journey in architecture or seeking guidance to refine your skills, my lessons are designed to inspire confidence and creativity.
