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.
