My name is Dan Cooper. I can help you get up to speed on Sketchup and complete your architecture, interior design, landscape and furniture projects.

My name is Dan Cooper. I can help you get up to speed on Sketchup and complete your architecture, interior design, landscape and furniture projects. It's a great program, but can be time consuming and frustrating to learn on your own. There are many functions that entail little tricks that most videos and articles leave out, and you can get right down to the nitty gritty if you work with me.  I am a patient and encouraging teacher who can show you, step-by-step how to create models from the basics to the more detailed and complex. By sharing screens and working side by side, you will process quickly.  I’d love to work with you. Respectfully, Dan Cooper (Note: I have created a series of Illustrated pdf's that recap each session. They will assure that you master the material we cover.)
Accordion Lessons: Learn to play this wonderful, challenging and rewarding instrument.
I always engage with personalized instruction and focus on playing songs right away. I do not employ boring drills. We will have fun and make fast progress. I am located in Vallejo, California I have 25 years of playing and teaching with top reviews.

Approved Subjects

General Music

General Music

I have played corporate and private parties for over 25 years, including the Ritz Carlton Hotel, Amazon, Sebastiani Winery, Anchor Brewery and Private Homes and City events. I specialize in Italian, French and Oktoberfest music and others such as Tangos. My reviews are 5 stars. I have been teaching since 2000.
Guitar

Guitar

I have played guitar in various styles for 50 years. I played C&W music as a duo in the 70's and written songs and performed with a guitar solo. I practice and play every day now, though my professional work is with an accordion. I teach all basic chords patterns and combine melody and harmony, using fingerpicking, learning songs and rhythm patterns by ear. I take a personalized, encouraging approach with fewer exercises and more of learning technique by playing songs from the start. My lessons are fun and students learn quickly to play the music of their choice.
Painting

Painting

I have painted landscapes of California, Canada and France and have paintings in the collections of Fortune 500 companies and numerous international collectors. I have taught Art since my teen years, lectured at art schools, and developed a course called "The Heart of Art: Theory and Practice," which combined an intellectual approach (Art History and Appreciation) with practical exercises in drawing and painting.
Sketchup

Sketchup

I have been making 3D models for architects, interior designers and woodworkers based on their plans, elevations. and drawings. My focus is on individual residences, interiors and furniture making the model, enriching it with textures, colors, roofing and interior furniture, cabinets etc. I create custom windows and doors as required by my clients and other necessary elements such as columns, driveways, and landscaping. I have also helped interior and furniture designers realize their projects, including an Airstream trailer.

We have been working on a project for more than a month. I had never used this program and need help from start to finish on this project. He is an excellent teach and I'm happy to continue to work with Daniel.

Great tutor! I will continue to work with Dan.

Even for a beginner like myself, Daniel was patient, and took a step by step approach that got me off to a great start with SketchUp. Dan communicates in a very understandable way, and works with me at just the right speed to learn new information and functionality within the program.

Randy, 9 lessons with Daniel

Very knowledgeable and patient.

Dan was very patient with me. I’m older and learning a completely new task. With that said Dan was so helpful and never got aggravated with me as I was having some small issues but he just kept going over the process till I felt comfortable with those tasks. I’ll be continuing my classes with Dan and looking forward to putting this powerful program into process in my small biz. Thanks Dan…

Skilled, patient and creative

Daniel has been an excellent tutor. Besides being patient and knowledgeable, he is also creative and a pleasure to work with. I am looking forward to working with him again in the future.

Very Helpful

Daniel was patient as I wrapped my head around new concepts of the software. I learned a lot from our session. I was pleased that he was willing to work past our session time, as we were just getting to the core part of one of my goals. We wrapped up the session after I successfully hit that milestone.

Fantastic Tutor

Daniel is an amazing tutor! He is teaching me SketchUp design software. He is extremely patient and a natural teacher. SketchUp is not easy and can be frustrating to learn at times. Daniel walks through everything he teaches me step by step until I understand. When I get confused he is very pleasant and starts over. He makes me feel confident in what I have learned and his patience makes him a wonderful tutor. Thanks Daniel :)

Very willing to problem solve and super responsive

Daniel was super willing to jump right in to my homework assignment and help me figure out what I was doing wrong. Very helpful. He was super responsive and helped me within a couple of hours of me posting that I needed help. Thanks so much Daniel!!
