Architecture Prep Avis 

I am going to Rice to study architecture and I am grateful for Architecture Prep as their support in helping me achieve this goal was invaluable. Initially uncertain about portfolio preparation and my architectural aspirations, I found clarity and direction through their mentorship. My meetings with James not only provided insight into the portfolio aspect of applying to schools but also the world of art and architecture.

After conducting a lot of research and interviewing several programs, we chose Architecture Prep because of its individualized tutoring approach to the architecture portfolio creation process. I appreciated most that Architecture Prep does not employ a cookie-cutter curriculum with duplicative activities for every student (like other programs). My son’s tutor invested time to understand his personal artistic vision, then capitalized on his strengths to guide him in creating a portfolio that showcased his unique creativity. And despite all the stress of the college application process, my son had a fantastic time. He eagerly anticipated his tutoring sessions and then gleefully tackled suggestions, because they were tailored to his strengths.

With the help of Architecture Prep’s distinctive program, my son was granted admission to numerous US architecture programs with single digit acceptance rates, and most importantly, he was admitted to his first choice school. I only hope he will have professors that rise to Architecture Prep’s level of inspiration and engagement! We recommend without qualification Architecture Prep.

Sebastian worked with my daughter during her university applications and portfolio preparation. I was super impressed how they were able to communicate effectively despite the time zone difference between London and Los Angeles. She particularly appreciated Sebastian's consultative approach to tutoring. She was admitted to 8 top architecture schools in USA. She chose to attend USC Architecture in her freshmen year and she loved it.

When our business required us to spend more time in Europe, my daughter wanted to explore transfering to AA in London, it was one of her dream schools due to the type of design concentration and unit system AA offers. My daughter was happy to work with Sebastian once again and we are happy to report that she was accepted this year as a transfer student to AA! Thanks Sebastian!..

Creating an architectural portfolio and managing the application process can undeniably be very challenging and stressful.

My first experience with Architecture Prep was behind my computer, watching their YouTube videos and reviewing their accepted portfolios for top architecture schools.

I emailed Sebastian regarding my application to the Architectural Association, and very shortly after, I started weekly meetings with one of their tutors, Charlotte. The outcome of our work together was an accepted portfolio and personal statement for the first year of the Architectural Association.

I had eleven hours of professional tutoring and services. Charlotte is extremely knowledgeable and charismatic; I felt safe and confident working with her. In a very short time, I began to grow and flourish architecturally from our sessions.

I’m very pleased I chose Architecture Prep. I would like to thank them again from this platform for their amazing tutoring.

Both Sebastian and Charlotte were so incredibly nice, welcoming, knowledgeable, and helpful. I worked with Charlotte throughout my sessions and she always went above and beyond for me, answering any questions I have and made sure to ease any doubts. I am an international student, so working with them provided me with so much peace of mind when applying to schools in another country. Would highly recommend! Charlotte helped me get into one of my top schools- Cambridge!

With all the college counseling services out there, Architecture Prep proved to be the right resource for our family. From navigating through the school options to helping guide our son through the portfolio process, we were extremely pleased with the services. Our consultant, James, was the perfect fit for our son and he was instrumental in helping Gabriel refine his portfolio. His guidance helped Gabriel take his portfolio to another level and as a result Gabriel received acceptances to his top school choices including RISD, Syracuse and Pratt (among others). We are forever grateful for the help navigating through this complex process. Thank you Architecture Prep!

I am so glad I chose to take up their service! The portfolio reviews were of tremendous help and I am sure I would have had difficulty getting into my school of choice without their guidance. They are also prompt with their responses and each review was worth every penny. I would definitely recommend anyone who is keen on getting into their architecture programme of choice to approach Architecture Prep for help as I have zero regrets doing so!

I highly recommend Architecture Prep. From the first introductions with Sebastian and then working with Chloe as my tutor was a fantastic experience that goes above and beyond. She provided valuable advice and guidance throughout my portfolio and personal statement journey I am really satisfied with. I got offers from all universities I applied to, including The Bartlett which is my first choice. The skills I gained during our sessions have been useful beyond just my application process. I really thank Chloe and Sebastian a lot for the support, both consistently responsive and helpful. Overall, I'm grateful to have discovered and worked with Architecture Prep.

Architecture Prep is one of the best decisions I've ever made in my life. It helped me get into all 6 schools I applied to, one of them being Architectural Association, a dream school of mine. I even applied the skills I learned during my 1-on-1 sessions for Hong Kong University and got in with a firm offer and a full tuition scholarship. Huge credits to my tutor, Charlotte, who gave 100% effort in helping me craft not only a stellar portfolio but a worth-reading personal statement that helped me stand out in the application pool. She helped me create a distinctly unique theme for all parts of my application, which helped me with my interviews as well. I cannot recommend AP enough!

Sebastian and Chloe helped me so much with my Architecture applications. I was making applications whilst at a different university and course, but both were supportive and reassuring of my situation. Being in this unusual position, I received valuable advice towards my personal statement, portfolios and interview prep that I wouldn’t have got anywhere else. They were always very organised, quick to respond and took the time to get to know me. I got a place at the Bartlett thanks to their support!

I took classes with Architecture Prep in order to attend several architecture universities, and got accepted to UCL - The Bartlett School of Architecture in MEng Engineering and Architectural Design, my first choice! The sessions I had with my tutor, Charlotte, were very helpful, for the portfolio and the oral afterwards. I highly recommend it.

Sebastian takes the time to connect with your child and get to really know them! This helps the child open up about their dreams and aspirations and then he gradually tailors his sessions to get the very best out of all of their talents ( hidden or otherwise ! ). It is an intentional and structured journey and the ideal time to get in touch with him is the second semester of Grade 10 so that you have time to work on pieces with him over the summer.

Throughout the process he is also thinking about how the portfolio relates to your personal statement and ensures that you present a thoughtful and cohesive picture of who you are as an applicant.

My child got into UCL - Bartlett School of Architecture and we are grateful to him for his expert counsel!

Architecture prep has helped me a lot. Sebastian has a very collegial approach and has introduced me to a very cooperative tutor who has helped me select my works for the portfolio that best represents me. I hope to stay in touch for our future endeavours.

I needed help with a portfolio last minute, and Sebastian helped me make the best portfolio I could make, and I got into university with it.

I have exchanged a few emails with Architecture Prep's Sebastian today regarding my masters application, and he has been extremely helpful! While I haven't used any of their review/feedback services yet, I plan to do so in the future (once I am ready to make my application) given how helpful they have been in our interaction today!

Totally would recommend! Every session with Sebastian for portfolio, personal statement as well as interview practice was very helpful and he was always available for questions.

Sebastian has been a great mentor in my journey to architecture school. He is always willing to help me in the process and answer my questions. He helped me not only with my application but also to clear up my confusion about architecture. I am so thankful to be one of his mentees.

Sebastian was very responsive and feedback was always constructive and timely. He helped me define the underlying themes within my portfolio and he was also very helpful with my personal statement, which made my application strong and cohesive.

I had a very positive experience with Architecture prep as they had a systematic approach to help me build my portfolio and personal statement that got me accepted into some of the top UK unis. I gained a deeper understanding into architecture as a degree and what to expect as well as the concepts and philosophies that inspired me to further pursue this career path.

I received very valuable and pointed feedback from Sebastian regarding my portfolio and applications. Each piece of feedback was incredibly valuable and specific to my situation and I gained a lot of insight as to how I should format my work. Advice ranging from the big picture to minute details was provided throughout the process and communications were quick and seamless throughout the process. Overall, I had a great experience with Architecture Prep.
