Job Description: Architecture Tutor

This is a long-term, university-level, non-residential role for an academically outstanding and professionally qualified tutor to support a gifted architecture student entering her second year at a London University. The role requires subject expertise in architectural engineering or a closely related field, along with a strong mentoring presence and stable personal character. The successful candidate will offer tailored academic guidance, help cultivate professional opportunities, and provide a warm, grounded, and culturally rich environment that supports the student’s creative, academic, and personal development throughout her degree.

The student is an exceptionally motivated individual enrolled in a highly selective architecture school, reflecting her academic excellence and deep commitment to the discipline. Her interests include sustainable construction, innovative design, and inclusive architecture. She is fluent in Italian and English, enjoys art, painting, playing the piano, sports like skiing, and engaging in cultural activities such as visiting galleries and attending orchestral performances.

Role Responsibilities

1. Academic Support: Assist with complex mathematical and physical concepts, design and technical projects, exam preparation, and coursework challenges.
2. Mentoring: Guide the student through her academic journey, professional development, and university life challenges.
3. Internship Facilitation: Leverage professional connections to secure placements in architectural or engineering firms.

Candidate Requirements

• Recently qualified professional in architecture, architectural engineering, or a related discipline, preferably a member of recognized bodies such as RIBA or ICE.
• Stable home life with a nurturing, family-oriented approach; female candidates are preferred if single, to ensure a secure dynamic.
• Experience in practical architectural or engineering work, with current industry engagement.

Additional Qualities

The ideal candidate will be personable, polished, and embody excellent manners and personal values. Non-smoker preferred.

Logistics & Commitment

The role begins at the start of the university term and continues throughout the degree program, with potential extension for further studies. Flexibility in scheduling is essential, with support during key academic periods. The candidate should be prepared for some travel within the UK for site visits and educational events, with expenses covered in advance.

Housing is not provided; candidates should reside in London. The role demands a long-term commitment, with a minimum of 9 weeks of scheduled holidays per year, aligned with the academic calendar. Occasional work during holiday periods may be necessary depending on academic demands.
