First-Year Architecture Portfolio Tutoring

I am in my first year of architecture and must complete six portfolio briefs by December. I am looking for a tutor who can work alongside me on every stage of each brief—from the first spark of an idea right through to polished presentation boards. What I need most is practical, hands-on help creating the work itself. That includes brainstorming concepts, translating them into drawings and diagrams, refining digital and physical models, and making sure the final layouts read clearly. I will be expected to mix hand sketches and physical model-making with digital tools such as AutoCAD, Rhino, SketchUp, Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign, so a solid command of these platforms is essential. We will meet regularly (online or in person, whichever is feasible) to: • Develop and test design ideas for each brief • Produce and iterate drawings, diagrams, and 3D models • Prepare final presentation boards that meet first-year architectural standards By December I aim to submit six cohesive, well-thought-out projects that demonstrate creative thinking, technical accuracy, and strong visual communication. If you can guide me through that journey—offering constructive critique, workflow tips, and clear explanations—I’d love to work with you.
