Hello! I have been teaching for over 40 years. Yes, I am pretty old, but young in spirit and enthusiasm. I have had the pleasure of helping students from 1st grade to graduate school. My training is in technical subjects like CAD, computers, robotics, electronics.

I can help you with several AutoDesk products including AutoCAD, AutoCAD online version, Inventor, Revit and Fusion (modeling). I am excited to say I recently added progeCAD to my software collection. This is an exciting and affordable alternative to AutoDesk products.
I currently teach as an online adjunct in CAD and Advanced Manufacturing. I believe in engaging students with hands on examples and simulations. I am an old "shop" teacher. "Everything is best learned by planning, creating, and improving."

Hello...my name is Alan. I am a lifelong educator. With over 30 years of public school teaching experience in Career and Technical education. After retiring, I served as the program coordinator for CAD at Blueridge Community and Technical College. I currently teach AutoCAD, Revit and Inventor at Florida State College. I have taught and tutored students from 5th grade to graduate school. My approach is to help you learn the tools and techniques with hands-on experiences.

Hello! My name is Alan. I am a lifelong educator. I have taught and tutored students using Revit and AutoCAD for over 12 years. I taught Architecture Design at Washington Co. Technical High School in Hagerstown, MD for 7 years. During my time there I had several students become state and national finalist in the Skills USA Architecture competition. I developed the program and taught Building Information Modeling (using Revit) at Blueridge Community & Technical College for 5 years. I currently teach AutoCAD and Revit at Florida State College, and tutor several students on another tutoring platform. I use a hands on approach to teaching. I will help you learn the tools and techniques, then stretch your creativity and thinking skills with thought provoking projects. I will also customize your experience as necessary, for your particular interests and needs.

Alan is fantastic!

Alan was patient with me and easygoing. He was able to explain and show me all of my questions in a fashion that I was able to easily understand. I will definitely be using him for all my autoCAD need in the future. I have now gone to him twice, and and very glad I did.

Rod, 2 lessons with Alan

Great teacher

Alan is very knowledgeable with AutoCAD. In one of our lessons, one of the features wasn’t working properly but Alan guided my son to use different features to complete his drawing. He is very patient and explains every aspect/feature very well. Definitely getting more lessons from Alan.

Dunia, 3 lessons with Alan

A Good Teacher Who Listens

Alan listed to my situation & tailored his lesson to my needs, rather than going to a standard session. The time spent with Alan was well worth it & exactly what I needed to move forward. 10/10 will call on Alan again as needed with this project.

THANK YOU!

Very informative and patient. If I ever need guidance again I’ll definitely be booking with you, thank you for everything.

Amiya, 1 lesson with Alan

Great refresher lesson

Alan did a great job explaining a couple of ways to work with sheet metal with Inventor. It helped me with ensuring that I was on the right track. He was patient and very knowledgeable. Highly recommend.
