“The foundations course finally made continuous beams click for me. Harriet marked my first submission with red ink on every unsupported assumption — harsh, but I stopped guessing after that.”

What students say about courses and tutoring
Comments below name the course and the part of the work that mattered — marking, studio nights, measured walks, or interview prep.
“I came from site supervision and needed Eurocode steel design without another three-year degree. Owen’s studio nights were dense; we left with connection sketches I could take back to the office.”
“The timber workshop covered joist hangers and notch rules we see constantly on domestic jobs. Maya walked us through a measured survey of a Victorian terrace near Harlow town centre.”
“Private exam tutoring helped me through my Institution interview preparation. Sessions were strict on time — ninety minutes, clear agenda, homework between visits.”
“The CPD morning on site assessment was practical: crack patterns, temporary works awareness, and when to stop and call a senior. Not a sales pitch for software.”
Studio story — Design Studio spring cohort
A cohort of eight technicians arrived with strong detailing habits and weak deflection checks. Over ten evenings they sized a braced bay and a short RC span; the mid-term pin-up caught two unsupported cantilever assumptions before they reached employers’ drawing offices. Two students booked follow-on tutoring for Institution interviews.
