Extremely Helpful

Thomas has been helping me with an ongoing project for school. He has helped me clean up my rendering and provided tips and shortcuts that aren't taught in school. I would definitely recommend Thomas to anyone looking for help with SketchUp!

Cody, 3 lessons with Thomas

Awesome in every way

Tom is super patient with me. Helped me get through my final interior design project. We'll be working together for my next semester for my official SketchUp class. He's so easy to work.

Heather, 5 lessons with Thomas

Great teacher

I needed help to start and proceed with my project on Sketchup from Autocad, I have some knowledge in the programs. Thomas helped me to start with the main things and gave me tips so i could proceed faster and answered on the questions I had. I’m happy I took this class. Will do again in the future in case I’ll need more help.

Vladlena, 1 lesson with Thomas

great teacher, very patient and knowledgeable about the wall section topic.

The tutoring was great. I did a lot of work with the tutor, he is very patient and well knowledgeable about the topic. He doesn’t mind explaining you step by step and guide you to do the right work.

Angie, 2 lessons with Thomas

Wonderful teacher!

I've had two AutoCAD lessons with Thomas and he's SO patient and knowledgeable. He met with me last minute on an assignment I was stuck on and we breezed through it to get it turned in before the deadline. He's super professional, calm and reassuring (honestly even more than my professor). It feels so good to know I have someone I can go to for help in school, and I even plan to utilize his expertise once I'm applying my new skills in my job!
