Professor of Architecture at the University of Cambridge and former admissions tutor. I tutor students preparing to apply to study architecture at university and current Architecture students.

Strong imagination. Hard working under pressure. Works with models. She needs to determine the parameters of a project (either through her own reading of its aims or inadequate definition by the teacher). We need to plan tutorials with hand-in timing of projects. She will find it quicker to explore design ideas through sketching than model-making: models are important for testing 3D ideas. 'Organic' forms may only be testable by model however.
