About Toby
I am a university lecturer teaching architecture and looking to support students needing extra help. I have been a lecturer at Northeastern University and University of the Arts London. I have also taught at the University of Warwick, Architectural Association School of Architecture and Columbia Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation on a freelance basis. I have taught students ranging from secondary to PhD levels. I am a graduate of the prestigious Architectural Association School of Architecture. I hold a PgCert in Academic Practice for Art, Design and Communication, associate fellowship at the higher education academy and a level 2 certificate in counselling. I am deeply passionate about supporting students from marginalised backgrounds in accessing and excelling in a higher education environment. I foreground inclusion, centring the inclusion of diverse cultures in my teaching as well as teaching that supports students with disabilities. I have previously taught at special educational needs schools and have in-depth knowledge on how to support neurodivergent (ADHD, dyslexia, autism) and disabled students. I am very passionate about mental health and wellbeing, having extensive experience supporting people with depression and anxiety. I am a flexible and open-minded teacher who can help nurture students' creativity, innovation and entrepreneurship. I can help students anchor broad and wild ideas into a feasible and concise design proposal. A particular strength of mine is making complex information accessible. If you feel you need some extra help, don't hesitate to contact me!

My lessons are deeply student centred. I orient my teaching around the students and their academic and career goals. In our first session, I will give students the opportunity to openly speak about what they hope to get out of the lessons. We can gauge students' technical skills, conceptual development, presentation skills and confidence. I will then tailor my teaching to best support their goals. I am able to support students in a wide variety of ways: - Software and technical skill tutoring including Autodesk AutoCAD, Rhinoceros3D, Grasshopper, Cinema4D, Blender, model making and technical drawing. - One-on-one tutoring for design projects including conceptual development, design, technical detailing and graphical presentation. - Coaching for presenting projects and communicating ideas. - Soft skills such as time management, networking, communication and wellbeing. - Study skills for students with disabilities and neurodivergent students (ADHD, Dyslexia, Autism etc.) - Interview preparation for jobs and university admissions I can also provide bespoke support for students at various levels For secondary school students: - Portfolio development and university application coaching - Career and academic guidance for next steps after graduating. For University Students (undergraduate and postgraduate): - Conceptual development of projects - Software and technical skill clinics for specific design project goals - History and theory tutoring - Essay and written submission tutoring - Career guidance including CV and portfolio reviews. - Mental health and resilience. - Navigating university as a person from an underrepresented background.

Perfect! It was a well-spent time brainstorming, and I was also provided with many industry insights and ideas to progress with my skills.
- Klaudia is a bright and self driven individual. I really applaud her ability to learn independently, think critically and conduct research thoroughly. She approached me to discuss ways to move forward in her career and was very receptive and collaborative in our discussion. I look forward to seeing what she gets up to in the future!Toby's response :

Toby was an amazing teacher whom I had the pleasure of being a student of during my first semester in London last fall. He was always there to help us figure out any problems we encountered, whether it was with AutoCAD, Rhino, Model Making, or simply gaining a basic understanding of the field going forward. Additionally, Toby possessed a wealth of knowledge extending beyond architecture. He shared some of his works with us in class, and his passion for not only architecture but also for communities was truly inspiring.
Toby not only provided me with access to knowledge that I still utilize in my studio classes today but also personally helped me feel more confident in choosing architecture as my field of study. He offered valuable insights into articles relevant to my aspirations within architecture and encouraged me to persevere.
For all these reasons, I wholeheartedly recommend Toby. He ensures that students understand the concepts thoroughly and does not expect them to know everything. He is not only a great person and teacher but also would make an excellent tutor for anyone seeking guidance in architecture.See more recommendations
