About Dan
With a lifelong passion for teaching and a history of mentoring numerous pupils during my time in architecture school, I take a personalized approach to tutoring, tailoring my methodology to meet each client's specific needs and working closely with their abilities. I believe in the power of individualized guidance, recognizing that every student has unique strengths and areas for improvement.
Drawing from my extensive experience in the field of architecture, I offer invaluable insights and firsthand accounts, sharing practical solutions, essential skills, and valuable lessons to support your architectural journey. I have had the privilege of contributing to diverse projects over the past decade, ranging from designing and overseeing custom residential houses to collaborating on iconic landmarks like the New Toronto Courthouse designed by the renowned architect Renzo Piano. Additionally, my involvement in significant infrastructure projects such as the Eglinton Crosstown and the creation of captivating restaurant spaces like The Score on King and Warehouse Dundas Square has provided me with a breadth of experience and a deep understanding of the industry.
Armed with a Bachelor of Architectural Science and a Master of Architecture, I have also recently passed the Canadian ExAC licensing exams, establishing myself as a practicing architect. This achievement reflects my commitment to professional growth and ensures that I stay up to date with the latest industry standards and practices.
One aspect of my work that brings me immense satisfaction is guiding students facing design challenges or seeking assistance in project development. Whether you are a student preparing for a design assignment, in need of technical/software proficiency in programs like Revit, Rhino, AutoCAD, or Adobe Suite, or seeking guidance for undergraduate/graduate admissions or licensing exams, I am here to provide comprehensive support and guidance. I will share my knowledge, skills, and strategies to help you overcome obstacles and excel in your architectural endeavors.
I encourage you to reach out with any architecture or design-related inquiries you may have. I am more than happy to discuss your specific goals, provide personalized guidance, and work collaboratively to navigate the world of design together. Let's embark on this journey and unleash your full potential in the field of architecture.

The architectural classes are carefully curated for individuals aspiring to undertake projects or assignments, gain insights into architectural design and software, and pursue employment opportunities within the industry. Suitable for both professionals and college students, these classes offer a comprehensive learning experience.
Real-world projects will be presented as examples to provide a thorough understanding of industry practices, enabling students to interpret architectural details within the broader context of construction-oriented working drawings.
Conducted via live sessions on Zoom, each class will utilize a graphics tablet and pencil to visually explain concepts effectively.
The lessons can be tailored to your own project, allowing you to apply the knowledge directly, and/or involve practical exercises in which we collectively develop live projects—ranging from simple to complex—to enhance your resume and portfolio.
