Practical mentoring and training by a qualified Architect (ARB + RIBA) and a Part III Mentor at ADP Architecture.

I had a session with Margo who provided helpful feedback on my CV and portfolio. I got a better understanding of the route to becoming an architect through her thorough explanations of part 2 and part 3. Her pragmatic experiences along with her theoretical knowledge offered further insight and I would hope to speak with her in the not too distant future.

Margo has been extremely helpful in providing constructive feedback on my portfolio and cv. She has detailed and specified on what I can change to improve. I appreciate the insights from Margo, specifically the notes on the CV and Portfolio that helped me comprehend my weaknesses and suggestions that helped me enhance my CV & Portfolio. Her experience in the industry has been valuable in progressing my knowledge of what architectural firms are looking for in a candidate.

By talking with Margo, she has shown me importance of curating my CV and portfolio for different practices. Her feedback is both constructive, and guiding — enabling me to refine my Part 2 applications. Whilst Margo's feedback is in-depth, she is very encouraging, telling me to enjoy the process, whilst ensuring that I allow myself to forge my own path ahead, to explore, and to find what makes me happy. I would recommend Margo as a tutor as she possesses practice-based experience, which she effortlessly used to guide me from an academic, to a more practice-based way of thinking, essential for kickstarting the next stage of my career as a part II architectural assistant. I thank Margo for giving me her time, and thoroughly look forward to speaking with her again!

I had a great experience using the service Margo has to offer.

We had an introduction meeting for 1 hour and we discussed a lot. I leant that to be a great future architects will take time however, she gave me a lot of advice in ways this can be achieve. I am more eager than ever to pursue a career as an architect and I will be using Margo’s service again.

The feedback I got for my portfolio/cv was incredibly helpful and in-depth and Margo gave some great insight when it came to industry experience! I would highly recommend her for architecture students who are looking elevate their applications for part 1/2 placements.

Margo is a great tutor, she gave me straightforward and honest feedback on which I can work on and improve. We also discussed which area I need to read more about and establish my position. We went through my CV, cover letter and portfolio one by one and talk about how I can make them stand out more. I am very thankful for her time and engagement with a student like me who just finished their final year of master's and need to find a placement.

Margo gave me very helpful advice on my Architecture covering letter, CV and portfolio. As a practising Architect, she has invaluable knowledge in this area. She took a practical and understanding teaching approach: providing clear improvements that I could make. I am strongly appreciative of her help.
