Photography Tutors : 1-1 Photography Preparation

Hello ! I am a multinational (Spanish and British) second year architecture student, currently at Cambridge University, who comes equipped with a highly interdisciplinary background and passion for learning new skills. My interests within architecture are currently enormously varied because the subject itself is so vast! , but primarily lie in museum design and curation, sustainability and bamboo construction, and theoretical discourse on phenomenology and space.

Having been panel interviewed and successful for a number of committee roles and achievements at different scales (Head Girl, university applications… as well as current internship interviews) I am well versed in interview technique and experience. I am able to provide general Oxbridge interview/ mock interviews for humanities subjects as there is a substantial overlap with what I study in my course (particularly geography, history, HSPS, archeology). I specialise in architecture, and have made multiple professional portfolios (and continuously make one every term for my degree), with an eye for detail, and so as well as mock interviews and general advice, I will happily advise in this key area.

I did five A levels, six AS levels, so have been through pretty much most academic scenarios and can provide tips for efficient revision, and efficient time management, in the similar way that worked for me.

My highly interdisciplinary architecture degree also means I am trained in professional presentation skills (persuasive presenting of work at least four times every week to a crowd), graphic skills in rendering, photography and videography, and confidence in all Adobe software. Analytical, academic essays are also a substantial part of the course and I further hone my writing skills writing university articles for the Cambridge Language Collective, Climate Journals and producing graphics for an Arts Magazine.

I am deeply committed to helping you reach your full potential, believing that with the right guidance and support, you can succeed. With my extensive qualifications in the arts and humanities, I specialise in arts dissertations, PhD-level film and photography, arts theory, and IB film, and analytical essay writing. My focus is on Art Film and Women’s Filmmaking, areas where we explore cultural, historical, and gendered representations in cinema. As both an academic and arts practitioner, I bridge theory and practice, offering you personalised guidance to strengthen your critical thinking, creativity, and academic writing skills. I’m passionate about empowering you to excel and discover your unique voice. I understand the pressures in modern education and the need for an individual approach that demonstrates your unique strengths. I am dedicated to helping you reach your full potential and getting you the excellent grades you deserve.

Hey! My name is Jonathan, I achieved 7 Grade 9 Qualifications at GCSE, this includes Maths and Further Maths. I also achieved Grade A in Maths at A-Level. Due to my understanding in these subjects, I love helping other who may struggle in these areas, I am always willing to help my peers with understanding and knowledge throughout my education. I feel that anyone who has the ability to help someone else should. I want to help others in any way that I can and I feel that providing my knowledge in this form is the best way. I like to focus on understanding the basics first, this is so important to be able to develop a deeper understanding and knowledge. I hope that I can help lessen some of the burden workload that is felt throughout GCSE and A-level studies and provide support to those who find themselves struggling in certain areas of knowledge.

I am a Leeds Arts University graduate with a 1st class degree in BA(Hons) Visual Communication and having worked in learning environments around the world, communication is my strength. I didn’t find school easy and navigated being neurodivergent throughout my education until getting diagnosed in my 20s. This has given me a real depth of understanding of different learning styles, how to best accommodate them and how to work to your strengths. I am a positive and empathetic tutor who aims to build my students’ confidence in themselves and their abilities.

When it comes to creative work, I understand what tutors and exam boards are looking for when it comes to marking. I also understand how personal creative work is and how hard it can be to detach yourself from your grades.

In terms of academic work, I know how hard it can be to juggle such large volumes of information and make sure you understand it all. This is why I have put together a toolkit of study skills and techniques that can help you reach your potential.
