Phenomenal tutor!

On a scale of 5 stars, I would give Rondell 6 stars! Rondell is not only extremely skilled and knowledgeable about architecture, but he has such a passion for teaching. Within the first five minutes of a session, it is clear that Rondell took the time to prepare and personalize my lesson to reach my goals. Rondell’s sessions are extremely dynamic, fun and inspiring. And, after each lesson I feel prepared, reenergized and motivated to build my portfolio. Initially, my goal was to cover the basics of architecture, but Rondell has gone above and beyond and has taken the projects to a whole new level. This exposure has solidified my desire to pursue architecture. I highly recommend Rondell to anyone interested or involved in architecture & design! It’s rare to find a teacher that is as dedicated, engaging, motivated and exceptional! I have learned so much in such a short time. Thank you, Rondell!

Knowledgeable and patient tutor

Rondell has a calm way of walking you through program functions and explained well the process that I was interested in learning within a small amount of time. I had sound issues, and he even tried to walk me through my initial technical problem.

Great tutor! My college student son was lost working in an architecture project but Rondell was able to not just guide him but teach him the necessary steps needed and had him complete the tasks to learn the actions. My son felt he learned more with Rondell in a few hours than in a whole semester. Thank you so much for your patience and relating to my son’s needs allowing him to feel comfortable with his project and presentation!

Knowledgeable and kind.

Rondell has helped me improve my skills on rhino to help create a better model. He has shown me a variety of tools to help refine my model like boolean difference. He also taught me how to create line-weights in illustrator that helped to elevate the look of my floor plans and sections. We made windows and furniture at a lighter line weight and made the walls thicker. Overall, I feel way more confident presenting my work to my professor!

Excellent Tutor - Incredibly Helpful & Patient

I had an excellent tutoring session with Rondell. He taught me a variety of Rhino basics & useful commands, plus specific needs for my assignment. He patiently walked me through each step, adding helpful notes to my screen as I followed along. Ultimately Rondell encouraged me to execute the work on my end with his guidance. Definitely recommend!
