About Bola
I am a UK-qualified architect (ARB / RIBA III) with over 7 years in architectural practice. During my studies, I won the 'Bond Bryan Prize' for the best integration of technology and environmental strategies within architectural design at the University of Kent. I have been published in the RIBA Journal and Dezeen. I gained my master's and professional qualifications through the UK’s Level 7 Architectural Apprenticeship programme at Oxford Brookes University launched in 2018. I have worked at a number of architectural practices in London including Ash Sakula Architects, tp bennett, Stiff & Trevillion and I am currently an architect at the renowned global studio, Foster + Partners. During my career, I have tutored architecture and design students at pre-university, undergraduate and postgraduate levels (including the University of Kent, the Architectural Association, the University of Bath and the University of East London). In addition, I have knowledge and experience with practically all leading architectural computer software (Autodesk REVIT, AutoCAD, Rhino 3D, SketchUp Pro, Adobe Suite, Lumion, and Enscape).

ABOUT THE LESSON As a youthful, amiable, and patient architectural expert, my primary goal is to support students in their architectural education and career aspirations. I offer a complimentary lesson, allowing you to gauge whether my teaching style aligns with your preferences and needs. Together, we can embark on a rewarding journey towards achieving your architectural ambitions. 1ST FREE SESSION In our initial session, we will initiate by exploring your specific objectives and defining clear goals to guide our journey. Together, we will create a customised plan to suit your needs perfectly. Drawing from my own experiences, I will gladly impart valuable insights, tips, and tricks, as well as highlight key mistakes to steer clear of. This collaborative approach ensures that you gain a comprehensive understanding of the subject while avoiding common pitfalls along the way. LESSONS OPTIONS: PORTFOLIO SESSIONS - The tutorials will follow a format reminiscent of constructive exchanges between a student and a university tutor. Each session will revolve around students presenting their work or ideas, enabling us to provide valuable feedback and engage in meaningful discussions. These interactions aim to bolster existing portfolios or, if needed, guide students through a series of sessions to create a portfolio from the ground up. The goal is to foster a supportive learning environment that nurtures both creativity and practical knowledge, enhancing students' readiness for their architectural pursuits. PROJECT SESSIONS/OTHER - These sessions will also involve students presenting their work or ideas but will be more discussion based. This is useful when seeking creative input, practising presentation skills, strengthening project workflow etc. DIGITAL SKILLS WORKSHOPS -Explore the world of SketchUp, Rhino 3D, and Adobe InDesign through personalised 1-to-1 workshops. Whether you're a beginner or at an intermediate level, these sessions present excellent chances to acquire fresh skills or enhance your existing expertise. Don't miss out on these valuable opportunities for personal growth and creativity! All sessions are personally tailored so that I can help and support you to achieve your goals in studying the built environment. If you have anything else in mind, do let me know and will see if I can accommodate you!
Recommendations

Impressed by Bola’s work experience, I knew I had to contact him, hoping he could help me with my portfolio and CV. From the initial consultation to our last session, he did not disappoint. Throughout our sessions, Bola provided actionable feedback and advice to help improve my job applications. From each session, I truly felt that Bola could see my determination to improve, and this only made our sessions more productive. Now, I have a clearer understanding of what practices are looking for and how my portfolio graphically can highlight my strengths and experience more effectively. To aspiring designers, architectural assistants or architects, I recommend having sessions or tutorials with Bola and see your progress along the way.
When I was in Third Year of Architecture school, I reached out to Bola on LinkedIn asking for advice on how to land an architecture placement and how to create a strong enough CV and Portfolio to get a placement. Although this was my first encounter with Bola, he was kind enough to schedule a zoom meeting with me to review my CV and Portfolio. We went through each page of both documents in detail and he gave me great advice on amends that I could make to each document to make me stand out when applying for jobs. After that meeting, I was in so much awe of how someone who I had never met before was so kind to make time to review things with me — I really appreciated this. I can also confirm that after receiving his advise and making those changes, I landed my self a 6-month placement! I still use the advice that he gave me then now, when I update my CV or Portfolio. And after graduating from Architecture School, I can also confirm that the amends I made to those documents a year ago made me strong candidate when applying for jobs and now, I’ve landed my self two job offers!
Thank you Bola for making the time to help and assist me — it is much appreciated.Bola is a fantastic tutor! He communicates clearly and cohesively to support you in tutorials whilst carefully listening to your ideas and works with you to really push your designs to a high standard.
He is friendly, supportive and super experienced and can help you in a wide range of areas in architecture from job applications/interviews and proposal development both conceptually and technically.
Overall, if you are a student looking for an excellent tutor, I would highly recommend Bola!View more recommendations
