He is very knowledgeable with SketchUp and adapts our time together seamlessly as we learn new tools and tricks while dealing with actual models that I am working on.
Paul H is a focused teacher, with a step by step methodical approach to teaching. I am lucky to have found him. He is a sketchUp master, but the fact that he is a landscape designer (as I) was an extra bonus: He had the understanding of what I am seeking to achieve with SketchUp.
I'd been studying for 5 months was missing some basic concepts. So, when I started working with Juan S, my questions were all over the place. He helped me with everything. He is a patient, very good communicator. I have nothing but admiration for Juan. As far as I'm concerned, he get 5 stars.

Very Informative and thorough Geoff B Sketchup
Pretty much the whole thing
It was great watching Shanthi using Sketchup when we had Zoom meetings. She was able to make most revisions in real time as I watched to make sure it was looking how I wanted. She was always open to feedback and had a very positive attitude throughout. I'm sure she was frustrated a couple of times at having to revise things but she was always upbeat when working together. She also anticipated having to make revisions in her estimate and did not go over the quoted price.
Tim has been a wonderful tutor. He's always on time, he's really helpful and smart, he has a lot of patience which is required in my situation as I am a relative beginner. And he's made it fun.
Shanthi O is my tutor for Sketchup. She knows her stuff, is professional and lovely to work with!

Juan S, SketchUp: Juan is a model teacher (speaking as a teacher myself): articulate, patient, great sense of pacing (i.e. in relation to the pace at which I learn), willingness to go over things I don't get 1st (or even 2nd) time around, flexible with time, clear explanations of my mistakes, encouraging overall. As an elder, training in architecture late in life, SketchUp has been a nightmare for me -- dropped out of two classes, incomplete for a third, and now finally getting on top of it. Thank you, Juan.
All of her suggestions and support.
Juan s, SketchUp: clarity, patience, professionalism.

Juan was very nice to speak with, he seems to understand what I want and what my vision is so far.

She showed me how to reproduce my object that had taken me about three hours to put together in under five minutes. On a 0 to 10 rating system she gets a 15. Just Say'in...
See above
Shanthi (Sketchup) was great!!! After my showing her what I had done to date, she immediately zeroed in on what I needed to know, and how I could make my modeling faster and better quality. I learned more in my sixty-minutes with her than I had in the previous three weeks of self-learning with books and YouTube video's. Shanthi gets a 10/10 and I will definitely be setting up more sessions with her down the road.
Shanthi is always organized with a lesson plan and is a great teacher!

How can I improve the performance of SketchUp on my computer?
How can I improve the performance of SketchUp on my computer?
To improve the performance of SketchUp on your computer, update your graphics card drivers, close unnecessary background applications, reduce the number of edges and faces in your model, use component instances instead of groups where possible, simplify textures, and adjust the OpenGL settings to use hardware acceleration. Additionally, consider upgrading your hardware, such as increasing RAM or switching to a Solid State Drive (SSD).
How do I use layers and tags in SketchUp?
How do I use layers and tags in SketchUp?
Layers and tags in SketchUp help organize and control the visibility of different aspects of your model. To use them, first assign specific components or groups to layers/tags. Then manage visibility through the "Tags" panel, turning these layers/tags on or off as needed. This helps streamline your workflow by allowing you to focus only on certain parts of your model without the distraction of others.

How do I troubleshoot common issues with SketchUp crashing or freezing?
To troubleshoot common issues with SketchUp crashing or freezing, try the following: 1. Ensure your graphics card driver is up to date. 2. Disable hardware acceleration in SketchUp settings. 3. Check for SketchUp software updates and install them. 4. Close other resource-heavy programs running in the background. 5. Increase your system's virtual memory. 6. Check for plugins or extensions causing conflicts and disable them. 7. Ensure your model is not overly complex by reducing the number of edges and faces

Tutors & Services Philosophy
Don't Learn Alone
Professionals these days are sitting alone and staring at their computers. They spend years searching online for tools that will increase their workplace efficiency—digging through forums and watching lengthy videos for the right CAD or visualization tip.
Sometimes they just have one small question that would take a person two minutes to answer, but customer support lines are a thing of the past. Big companies will direct you to an FAQ that will hardly begin to answer your question.
Bring Back the Human Connection
We strive to bring human connection back to the work environment. Our tutors work directly with you to solve your problems, similar to the way an apprentice works hand-in-hand with a skilled professional.
Screen-share technologies like Zoom have allowed us to work together in real time. We can see each others' screens and cursors, switch presenters to share information easily, and even turn on webcams for a more human interaction. Learn efficiently across workflows like architectural rendering, interiors, mechanical modeling, and construction documentation.
Tutors, Services, or Both
Sometimes our clients want to learn a program from beginning to end; sometimes they completely hand over the services to us; and other times, they want something in between.
Some clients want to be able to use the program on a basic level and let us do the hard stuff. Others want to co-work with us, supervising our work to ensure their artistic vision is realized. Along the way, they learn the tools—whether that’s SketchUp, Blender, Fusion 360, Revit, or AutoCAD.
By the end of the process, some clients are able to wean themselves completely off of our services and are empowered to do the work themselves. If they get stuck or behind on a deadline, they use us as a lifeline. They can call anytime—even if it’s just a 10-minute question—we are here to help.
