Dr Liz Walder, Architectural Historian and entrepreneur
Liz Walder MA PhD FRSA MCIPR is currently a Visiting Lecturer in the School of Architecture, Built
and Natural Environments at University of Wales Trinity St David. Her PhD, on the subject of the
Royal Gold Medal of the RIBA, was awarded from the School of Architecture at the University of
Liverpool in 2012, and was published by Wordcatcher Publications in 2019.
Liz’s work on the Women Architects of Wales (from the 1960s onwards) will be included in the
Bloomsbury Global Encyclopedia of Women in Architecture, 1960 – 2015, forthcoming in 2023, as a
2-volume (hard copy) and digital work.
Liz’s hobbies include drawing and painting, knitting, music and dog-walking. She says, “I often
get asked who is my favourite architect. If I had to pick, I’d probably say either Julia Morgan or
Giles Gilbert-Scott. But then again, I named my dog Lutyens, after the designer of the Cenotaph.
So take your pick!”

TESTIMONIALS

‘After having a difficult time fitting into High School and with his concentration and focus, Liz tutored my son to try increase his confidence with essay writing and exam technique. She went on to help prepare him for his GCSEs in English Literature and Language syllabus. He had struggled with the support given at school but with Liz’s help went on to achieve B’s in both.

Liz has provided support to 3 of our children from pre GCSE to A level and has been invaluable in providing tuition to them in comprehension and exam technique as well as covering essential parts of the syllabus missed at school. All have gone on to get B’s and above in the subjects studied.’

'Liz has been tutoring our 13-year-old son for over a year to prepare him for the ISEB 13+ Common Entrance Exams across all humanity subjects. Most subjects she taught were well beyond the syllabus covered in my son’s school due to more stretching ISEB exam requirements. She is resourceful and has really planned her lessons well to cover a variety of subjects in a limited schedule my son could fit in. She is highly professional and always calm in her teaching style. My son felt challenged yet not stressed and he always looked forward to the lessons with Liz. The exam results were very positive which earned my son a star entry (top 30) into Eton. I would not hesitate to recommend Liz to anyone who is looking for high quality tutoring service.'

The course (The Archaeology of South America) very good and well constructed. Chiara is well researched in her subject, and has great enthusiasm for it. This comes across in the class, and makes it an enjoyable experience for the students.
