For Who

Is loohcs for me?

loohcs’s mission is to support and facilitate the opportunity to expand student’s personal development within the field of architecture. We believe the platform will help reduce the current inaccessibility of education for students who are geographically constrained and opportunity inhibited. We will develop bespoke tutorial sessions in order to teach what was not covered in academia and ensure every student can maximise their full potential to get into their dream job and university course.

Have you ever felt like ...

I don’t know what my university tutor is asking me to do
I don’t feel like I have the skills nor knowledge to get a job
I don’t know how to deal with stress and pressure
I wish I had a mentor to guide me so I get the most out of my education
I have many questions but don’t know who to ask without sounding stupid
I am not sure how to develop ideas and communicate them to an audience
I want to be efficient and get work on time without doing an all nighter
I am scared to go to tutorials and presentation but don’t know how to improve it
I want to improve my interview skills and get into the course/company I dream of
I just need the additional support and guidance
I am not sure if architecture is really for me

Who feel that University is not giving the practical skills, clear advice and the long term support required to excel in academia and in the professional setting
Who feel that extra tutorial sessions to develop ideas, skills and working routines would be helpful for personal growth and development
Who want to develop practical skills and learn essential computer programs (Adobe Pack, Google Sketchup, Rhino, Vectorworks, Microstation, Revit, 3Ds Max)
Who feel they need tailored individual mentorship and guidance to design a portfolio, curate a CV and develop interview strategies for a degree in Architecture or for professional work.
Who would benefit from consulting current academics and practising architects for first hand insights, knowledge of the education system and the architectural industry for career advices?
Who has always been interested in the UK teaching methodology but never had the opportunity due to personal circumstances and situations.
Who are not located in the UK however would like to be mentored and guided by an architect and academic registered in the UK.
