One of our best tutors. Quality profile, experience in their field, verified qualifications and a great response time. Caleb will be happy to arrange your first Design lesson.

About Caleb

I am an Associate Design Manager and Associate Architect with 10+ years' experience who received UK qualifications through the ARB prescribed examination route, followed by completing my part 3 at the Architectural Association in London. I advise on how to approach the qualification process from beginning to end highlighting changes to the structure over the last few years. Furthermore, the classes are always underpinned by in-depth knowledge of the UK professional environment at large. Over the past three years I have assisted a considerable number of students to pass their part 1 and 2 prescribed exams, as well as part 3 courses. In addition to learning, I prioritise efficiency and effectiveness, leveraging helpful resources and distilling the core requirements of the exams themselves.

About the lesson

Architectural qualification exams in the UK can be very disorientating. My lessons are designed first and foremost to allay concerns and to set out the priorities for effective studying and production. The lessons will be structured with the student according to their need, and can flexibly dive into particular subjects that warrant more explanation. Classes are held online, and I am happy to accept individuals or groups. These lessons are intended to be precise and assist with the themes and topics which have been agreed in advance. For students requiring tutoring for part 3, the sessions can be topic specific in the format of a lecture, question and answer, or for review of mock papers. Group sessions at a different hourly rate are welcome. Feel free to reach out for a free initial conversation.

Perfect! Caleb prepared me to sit the RIBA part III examination at the AA in London. His help and advice was indispensable and his intimate knowledge of the AA specific exam enabled him to guide me through preparation of PEDRs, the initial assessment and prepare for the three-part examination and interview. Caleb was able to cut through the jargon and confusion caused by the vast amount of information required to complete the part III. He distilled this in such a way that gave me full clarity of the requirements and how to successfully complete the course.

Furthermore, his keen understanding of professional practice subjects enabled him to enlighten me on the various complex legal, contractual and administrative aspects of the Architects role. Caleb is therefore uniquely qualified to advise on both the procedural aspect of the exam and the course material. His ongoing professional work means he is constantly up to date on modern regulations and legal developments and as such was able to provide crucial guidance on the recent building safety act – a subject fraught with confusion at the time. I can wholeheartedly recommend Caleb to anyone sitting the Part III examination.

Perfect! Thanks to Caleb's guidance and expertise, I approached the ARB Part 1 examination with confidence and a solid understanding of the material. Caleb is a teacher who listens and adapts to his students. He works and emphasizes the criteria where the student has the most difficulty and explains the subjects with simplicity and dexterity. I couldn't wish to find a more dedicated mentor or a more effective study resource anywhere else.

Perfect! Caleb really helped me develop confidence in the lead-up to sitting my Part III exams. He is extremely knowledgeable and approachable, our sessions were always discursive and interesting! We only had a few weeks and in the limited time we managed to cover all the past papers and topics I was less comfortable with. He is experienced with the Part III syllabus and helps you put theory into practice. I would recommend him to anyone doing the Part III course. Thanks Caleb!

Perfect! Caleb is a very knowledgeable, practical and competent tutor. The chartership in architecture exams can be incredibly daunting but he always made the time to be available and to respond to my questions carefully and meticulously. I felt very supported throughout and Caleb's realistic perspective on project management and construction law, no doubt derived from his depth of experience, really offered perspective on the field of architecture that I would have not otherwise uncovered myself at this stage in my career. I am glad I chose to undertake the Part 3 exams with Caleb's support and would thoroughly recommend him to anyone else looking for a helping hand!

Perfect! Caleb is a very friendly and highly knowledgable and experience Architecture tutor. Sessions do not tend to feel like lessons but instead friendly and productive discussions. Ahead of sessions, Caleb always listens to my needs, consequently taking the time to prepare for thorough yet time conducive sessions. Caleb's approach is very productive to my learning; instead of handing me the answer, Caleb will help and recommend options and routes to take to discover various outcomes myself.

Josh is a talented designer who sought to bolster his technical and constructional knowledge needed for his university unit. We had a series of great classes where we utilised precedents and examples to develop the design in both elevation and section to arrive at a design that corresponded to a reasonable projection of how it could be built, incidentally giving the design a whole other dimension of depth and realism.

Perfect! I passed the Part 1 exam with Caleb's full guidance. Comparisons that allow for bridging into the UK system helped me answer GC 10, 11 of the General Criteria. For GC 7,8 and 9, he offered his work experience in context that relates closely to the GC. For the rest of academic and design-oriented GCs, he also walked me through some pitfalls and points to note. I would strongly recommend him as my tutor.

Tom is on the right direction with his preparations for the Part 1 exam. Comparisons that allow for bridging into the UK system would be helpful for some of the General Criteria.

Perfect! Caleb turned out to be the tutor I was exactly looking for. He has a wide knowledge and experience in the architecture industry which makes him an excellent tutor. He explains everything very clearly in the lessons. With his help I can finally connect the theory I learn with the reality and clarify things in which I was unsure about until now. Talking though things with him in detail gives me confidence in my knowledge in those subjects. I highly recommend him to anyone at any level in their architecture career, being a RIBA Part1, Part2 student, or someone who is preparing for their professional Part3 exams with the ARB.

Eniko has both experience and the drive necessary to succeed in the professional qualification part 3 examination. It is a pleasure to be able to align her personal episodes of professional experience with the holistic picture of the architectural process which I hope will carry her not only to the completion of the exam but beyond into further practice in the UK.

Find out more about Caleb

When did you develop an interest in your chosen field and in private tutoring?
The pandemic offered me the opportunity to focus on qualifications after working for many years. Having completed parts 1, 2 and 3 over the course of six months I realised the particular challenges foreign students may have in becoming qualified in the UK. This was when I set out to commence private tutoring to help individuals answer the questions I had in the beginning.
Tell us more about the subject you teach, the topics you like to discuss with students (and possibly those you like a little less).
These lessons are intended to help students pass their exams. Some students will struggle more than others on particular exam topics and it will be my job to listen to their concerns and determine for myself where the obstacles are. Part 3 qualifications span the greatest breadth and breach the greatest depth of subjects and fortunately for us I love these subjects equally.
Did you have any role models; a teacher that inspired you?
The type of teacher that inspires, which I aspire to be, is one that speaks plainly and as a friend, without the common condescension. My job is to suggest and advise so that the student can make informed decisions.
What do you think are the qualities required to be a good tutor?
Everything above, and on top of that, a proven track record of bringing my students to passing. 2022 alone saw five students pass their respective exams, which was very encouraging.
Provide a valuable anecdote related to your subject or your days at school.
A very seasoned professor once told me that there is no need to be unique; being good is good enough. It is intended to drive home the truth that our work is our own, and when it is good it speaks for itself (even more so than it speaks for oneself).
What were the difficulties or challenges you faced or still facing in your subject?
We will continue to face the difficulty that the qualifying exams are misaligned against the expectations in reality. Our culture remains that such qualifying exams are not only necessary but must continue to escalate in their defence against new entrants. Despite all this, I sincerely believe that they are worth overcoming in the context of the UK if nothing than to force oneself to confront the subject matter and to master it.
Do you have a particular passion? Is it teaching in general or an element of the subject or something completely different?
Making furniture is my passion, second only to reading. I am afraid it is not teaching.
What makes you a Superprof (besides answering these interview questions :-P)?
What makes me an adequate tutor is my willingness to listen and my belief that each student brings an awareness of what they need, the same awareness that drove them to seek external assistance. Experience has helped me understand common concerns and draws my attention to less common queries in order to commence a discussion that results in greater perception, confidence and peace of mind.
