"I took Lawrence tuition services when I moved to UK with very little knowledge of how to meet ambiguous, UK ARB Part 1 & Part 2 Exam requirements. My aim was to become Licensed Architect in the UK.
Lawrence reviewed all my past Architecture University and professional work from my home country, identified gaps I needed to work on and made ARB requirements easy to understand. He also recommended relevant books I needed to study to
full-fill the exam requirements.
Later, upon my request he agreed to review my Part 3 Case Study as well and helped me prepare for the interview. It’s because of his thorough guidance, life long experience and knowledge of the local architecture industry that I am now ARB registered Architect in the UK!"
"After completing my architectural education (parts 1 and 2) in the UK and working for architectural practices in china and France, I returned to my home country, Spain, to set up my own studio.
I decided to enrol in a RIBA part 3 course to register as an architect in the UK, with the big challenge of being self employed and having no previous UK experience. In fact, one of the universities I contacted told me it was almost impossible to succeed.
Lawrence was key in helping me understand and organise all the topics which are relevant for the exam, and assisted in comparing my international experience against the RIBA plan of work, UK law and regulations and contracts. He also provided a comprehensive reading list and offered a series of revision sessions and mock exams, which gave me a lot of confidence when facing real exams.
The process can be stressful and time consuming, and I strongly recommend Lawrence’s support, specially for international candidates like me or those who lack mentorship from their practices".
"I had a positive experience with Lawrence during my Part 1 ARB Prescribed preparation. I received all the support and useful professional feedback to build a strong submission. I highly recommend Lawrence. Do not risk your examination, it is easy to fail if you do not have appropriate guidance".
"After previously failing my final exams I had all but given up on passing the Part 3. With detailed feedback on my logbooks and essays, not to mention Lawrence's professional expertise and knowledge of the examination system, negotiating the complex ARB criteria was far less daunting.
Lawrence helped me prove I had fulfilled the ARB requirements to examiners, despite my non-traditional projects with one-to-one personalised tuition service.
Above all. the support, guidance and encouragement I received from Lawrence through Skype sessions and directed study gave me the much needed confidence to retake and sucessfully qualify as a Part 3 architect."
"I have recently qualified as an Architect from London South Bank University. Prior to my final deadline for the case study and document submission I realised I needed additional support and guidance due to my dyslexia. Lawrence was very prompt with guidance and suggestions given the limited timescale. He gave positive feedback, which re-assured me as well as detailed feedback to improve aspects of my case study. I would thoroughly recommend Lawrence to anyone undertaking the Part 3 RIBA exams."
