About Elena
I am a qualified architect with almost 8 years of experience within the construction industry. I've worked on various projects within variety of sectors including student accommodation, residential, hotel, self-storage, private and interior. I have a great knowledge of industry standards and design parameters spanning all design stages. Mentoring is my way of inspiring confidence in those who feel lost or have not yet found their voice within the field. Having gone through the very long process of studying architecture I know that the biggest hurdle is learning how to defend your ideas, so I'm here to help!

My name is Elena and I've been a tutor for almost 7 years now. I achieved my qualifications at three universities - BA studies at the Manchester School of Art (double diploma from UoM and MMU), MArch at the University of Greenwich and DipArch at the University of Westminster. I can proudly say that my studying experience whilst working at an architectural practice helped me become a versatile and confident female architect. During the course of my academic and professional career, I have been mentoring students in creative thinking, portfolio design and narrative development. I have done this for over 6 years both individually and as part of Narrative Practice. Narrative Practice is an award-winning architectural research and mentoring platform based in London. Our primary programme, Sessions, simply focuses on improving representation within the built environment. We do this through the offer of complimentary short- and long-term mentoring support for young professionals from underrepresented backgrounds. As proof of the initiative's success, since March 2020, we have engaged with over 450 individuals, virtually across 50 cities globally; including London in-person — providing support from Pre-Part 1 all the way through to Part 3 and beyond. Sessions is winner of the Diversity in Action category at the Thornton Education Trust 2023 Inspire Future Generations Awards as well as being Finalists in the Mentoring category. As for my personal teaching style, I like to get to know my students and help them develop their angle when working on personal or university design projects. Based on the requirement I help with a variety of project stages starting with the dissection of the brief to final project renders! I also teach software and help with portfolio design, so can help at any stage of your creative career.

I have had the pleasure of working with and alongside Elena for the past five years, in which we have become good friends as well as colleagues. It has been fantastic to work with Elena, over both the initial academic years where she excelled in many of the University challenges, as well as in a professional capacity whilst teaching those who were impacted most during the pandemic. Elena will always listen to any issues at hand and before explaining will create a strategy that is manageable and realistic. Her skill set is diverse and ranges from her knowledge in a series of digital software to analogue means of discussion and active problem solving — all attributes that lead to her being an excellent fit for a wide range of students.
Elena puts her time and effort in all her students. Helps motivate the students and push them to their best ability!
I've known Elena for nearly 10 years and I know that she is an extremely talented architect. She is diligent, confident and well organised. She will tailor your lesson to you and help you grow your design skills. You can rely on her to encourage you and to build up your portfolio.
Elena is patient, intuitive and empathetic tutor. These attributes compliment her vast knowledge, skill and experience when it comes to guidance and teaching. A student under her tutelage would surely gain a sure footing and confidence to progress with their studies.
