Knowledgeable and patient

I had an excellent tutoring session with Katherine H. and couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. She was patient, knowledgeable, and explained geometric tolerancing & dimensioning implemented through SolidWorks in a clear and easy to understand way. She took the time answer my questions involving my current GD&T implementation issues in my 3d modeling but also what GD&T offers over coordinate tolerancing to ensure I had knowledge to be successful for future GD&T tasks. In addition, Katherine resolved SolidWorks assembly issues I was having. The two sessions I had with Katherine left me with a much better understanding of the material. I would highly recommend this tutor to anyone looking to improve their skills and confidence with GD&T and/or SolidWorks .
