With experience guiding 100+ students across multiple platforms, I specialize in helping aspiring architects get into top architecture schools and excel in their design studies. References for my proven results are available upon request.
What I Offer:
Portfolio Building & Review – Craft a portfolio that stands out to admissions committees and hiring staff.
Design Thinking & Concept Development – Learn to approach architecture with creativity and rigor.
Career Coaching & Professional Guidance – Evaluate whether architecture is the right path for you. I prioritize your interests over profit—some students I’ve guided toward engineering or related fields instead.
Software Studio – Hands-on guidance in key design software and workflows.
I adapt each lesson to your skill level, making complex concepts simple and actionable. Every student is unique, so we’ll create a personalized plan tailored to your goals.
100% success rate helping students gain admission to architecture programs. This rate is based on students who completed a minimum of one year of tutoring, completed all assigned homework, and began with no portfolio pieces. A faster timeline is possible if you have prior works.
Bonus: Want to speed up your rendering workflow? Try my startup’s Gen-AI tools for quick, high-quality results.

Perfect! Tim is an excellent tutor and helped me grasp concepts quickly and easily. I look forward to continue learning with him.
- Great attentive student.Tim's response :
Excellent! We had a good first meeting with Tim and already got quite a bit of useful information to move forward. Excited to work with him some more.
Perfect! I’ve had my first session with Tim+personally I can say with full confidence that I am looking for him to be my mentor throughout my architectural journey (currently in undergrad). He is very patient, understanding and keen to assure that you get the help you need. His friendly and positive demeanour makes the experience feel even more pleasant and effortless. With rhino, he is incomparably exceptional at explaining commands and processes. When aiding with design, he asks the right questions to help you arrive at solutions, kind of like the Socratic method. He is discerning and knowledgeable like a professor, helpful as a tutor+aspirational as a practicing architect, which on that note, feels like a major flex to say that my mentor is the founder of Cache homes+has an illustrious history of design projects.
I am looking forward to learning a lot more from him! :)Perfect! Great listener and gives very helpful advice that I can work on right away.
Perfect! Tim aims to create a very personalized experience for each student's specific concerns or struggles. He took the time to understand my goals and needs as he tried to create a specialized plan for me.

I've known Tim for 3+ years and he's helped me on multiple occasions. An amazing teacher and person. He does an excellent job of making complex concepts easy to digest. Always passionate and excited to talk about architecture, design, etc. Definitely knows his stuff and genuinely wants to help other succeed. Thanks for all your help, Tim!
I met Tim through a friends recommendation during a 3rd year university project. He is very easy going and informative in his teachings. His much needed help got me on of the higher grades in the class during the semester. He helped me with editing and reshoots, showing me differences in what I did vs what I could do. I highly recommend Tim!
