About Sophia
I am a multi-award-winning designer, social entrepreneur and writer. I have studied at the Oxford School of Architecture and fully qualified with my Part 3 in Architecture at the University of Cambridge. I have worked on a wide range of typologies, from small to large scale, and worked at multiple high profile design studios, most recently at Adjaye Associates.

Design is an incredibly powerful force, which can bring meaning, value, beauty and joy to our lives. Everything has been designed - good design doesn't happen by accident. Whether it is a spoon, a piece of furniture or an entire masterplan - there is an iterative, problem-solving process which all architects and designers journey through before life-changing beautiful designs are realised.
I encourage my students to explore, play and learn to communicate with the language of design - ask questions, think outside of the box and push boundaries to make our world a more innovative, exciting and inspiring place to be!
I can guide students throughout the whole design process, and help with any topics you may want to explore. I will tailor classes based on your individual needs.
My class style has been described as encouraging, empowering and inspiring and I like my students to feel supported and confident in a friendly environment.
Areas I can cover:
- Software tips and tricks
- History and Philosophy
- Design thinking and problem solving
(I have won the Royal Society of the Arts Design Award, and have 10 years of experience in practice)
- Model making, visual communication and representation
- Any form of writing
(I have won the Architects Journal Writing Prize, The Berkeley Prize and the Benjamin Franklin Literary Prize for my writing, as well as been commissioned by architectural journals for articles on innovation. My writing has been widely published in the architectural press such as Building Design and Archdaily, and also translated into other languages)
- CV's, Portfolios, General Advice!
I tutor all ages and levels. I look forward to meeting you! :)

Sophia is the best teacher I've come across! She's very patient, knowledgeable and I always feel completely at ease during our lessons. I would highly recommend!
Sophia has led a number of yoga sessions and they always leave me feeling revitalised and empowered. She is always mindful of my personal needs and encourages me to listen to my body especially in the more demanding poses. Sophia is highly skilled and deeply compassionate; I prioritise both these attributes when looking for the best yoga teacher! I would recommend Sophia if you want advanced yoga and want the option of exploring spirituality in the moves.
Sophia was amazing and such great teacher and so well manners and allowed me to build my confidence, especially as a beginner.
I would highly recommend Sophia to everyone, she was 10/10 and a absolute pleasure to be around and supportive as a tutor.You will not regret chosing Sophia as a tutor! She is the best tutor I've ever had!
She is also super friendly and very flexible with time - which has been so helpful for me. Her guidance is priceless! I recommend her without an reservations!Sophia is a 5-star tutor! Patient, knowledgeable and a really kind and passionate mentor! She's helped me pass a design project with top marks. I'm very grateful for her help!
This woman is incredible. She will help you see results and reach goals. Sophia has been mentored by highly, highly achieved individuals in the specific fields she's worked/practiced in. They are drawn to her for an array of good reasons, namely one because she herself is extremely capable.
I would 100 percent recommend this individual. Anything she does, she's does meticulously well. If she is about to tutor you in a specific field, it will be because she knows her stuff. There's no jack of all trade here.
Try her...I have known Sophia for a long time now, and she is a very accomplished, professional woman, who has years of experience and knowledge. Very happy with her services
I have worked alongside Sophia and known her professionally for many years. I highly recommend her as a tutor. She has forged herself a unique and successful path within architecture, and has a lot of knowledge to share!
