About our tutors
Data on the tutors we work with, and where they’ve come from.
Updated April 2026
AP is a collective of tutors. At any given time, we have around 10-15 tutors, each working one-on-one with their students. Each tutor typically works with 1-5 students at a time.
The success of AP is in the selection of these tutors. They are chosen on the basis of the schools they attended, their self-initiative, the quality of their own work (visual and written), and their ability to encourage students. The last point is the most important.
The schools our tutors attended influence their involvement with AP. Architecture schools can vary significantly in pedagogy. A tutor with a BArch degree from SCI-Arc would not be able to tutor a BA applicant to Cambridge very effectively, or vice versa. There are many reasons for this, none of which are to do with rankings, but the long and short of it is that the selection of these tutors and how they are assigned to students is a careful decision based on motivations, character, interests, pedagogy, and even time zones (we work with people all over the world).
AP has worked with around 30 tutors since 2022. The data below draws on that cohort.

A note on tutor assignment
The vast majority of AP tutors are graduates from schools including the Bartlett UCL, Cambridge, Harvard GSD, Yale SoA, Cornell AAP, MIT, and more. They work in various positions across the industry, from their own architectural practices to larger international practices, many of which are world-leading in the field.
Our tutors freelance for AP as independent contractors, though they are required to adhere to AP’s tutoring standards. Students and tutors are paired after an introductory call with Sebastian, and Sebastian oversees and monitors the progress of all students and tutors.
