Bio

I have been teaching and sharing my knowledge in design software for six years. When I teach, I open my student, company staff and colleague to the endless possibilities of the software by breaking it down to the basics of functionality and understanding. I have since extended this approach to my teaching of languages and elementary math and found out that this approach in collaboration with patience has proven to work best specifically when I teach elementary math and students of younger age...

I have been teaching and sharing my knowledge in design software for six years. When I teach, I open my student, company staff and colleague to the endless possibilities of the software by breaking it down to the basics of functionality and understanding. I have since extended this approach to my teaching of languages and elementary math and found out that this approach in collaboration with patience has proven to work best specifically when I teach elementary math and students of younger age groups.

While it is easy to master a language, software or even math just to get by, understanding the logic, format and principal behind each topic or software will truly make you a rock star, then you truly start to have fun learning and become a problem solver.

It is my goal to make all my students rock stars and the problem solvers among their peers.

So I have an excellent hand on all the software used in the design industry as well as the graphic design industry. I have been teaching the software for 2 years now and I love using my professional experience to simplify my tutorials for all my student.

My area of expertise in Photoshop is photo editing, 3D realist rendering, presentation packages, and material mapping. I have over six years of using Photoshop in the design industry with concentration on making 3D rendering from 3D max and Revit rendering look as real as possible. I also do material texturing for use in other design and rendering software.

Architecture

A house is a space, we live all our lives in and it can be simply intricate or complicatedly mind blowing. I use architecture to solve problems with designs and in real life. My area of expertise are: Residential designs, Commercial, Retail, Religious, Aviation and Healthcare Design. I use the design process along side with the practice of architecture to teach students to appreciate the process of basic life needs and open their eyes to the joy of design. To achieve this, I am very well vars in design software that expedite the design process such as AutoCAD, Revit BIM and 3D MAX. I am also well rounded in design development, construction drawings and 3D animation design. I create concepts and presentation boards for clients to help convey the idea of the design.

Gifted Teacher

Clear, calm instruction helps the learning curve of Revit not feel so overwhelming. With Tess's guidance I was able to not only complete my assignments but go beyond what I dreamed I could do- a reflected ceiling plan and a custom designed grand staircase and deliver amazing presentations to my classmates.

AutoCAD

Tess is an excellent tutor. She is proficient in AutoCAD, SketchUp, and Revit and other softwares as well. Since she has an architecture background so she explains concepts in a detailed manner.

Huma, 27 lessons with Tess

Great teacher!!!!

Tess helped me setting up title blocks and printing/plotting. We were sharing my screen so she was able to get in and actually show me step-by-step. We recorded the session. I have a Mac version of AutoCAD, which has often thrown off tutors in the past and my sessions haven’t been as successful as they should’ve been. This was a breath of fresh air to have her so knowledgeable and easy to understand. I already have another session scheduled!

Knowledgeable and Patient Tutor

Tess has been teaching me about AutoCAD LT. I have had 3 sessions so far in the past 10 days. I was looking for someone to have a long term tutoring relationship with and she absolutely fits the bill. Tess is incredibly knowledgeable and very patient with my beginner knowledge of AutoCAD.

Libby, 10 lessons with Tess

Excited to learn the issues and probe to the correct solution.

Tess was engaged and curious to learn of my needs. Agreed, it’s a complex problem. In our first session, she helped me hone in with Sketchup to drill down to the root of the mathematical answer to a very complex roof design. I look forward to the next chapter!
