AutoCAD, 3Ds Max, Rhino & Interior Design Online Tutoring
I specialise in teaching AutoCAD, Rhino, 3Ds Max, Illustrator, InDesign and Photoshop to students of various levels. My style of teaching is focused on practice. All classes have their goal - to expand the theory and practice to create something complete at the end. I think practice, whether or not you are a beginner or more advanced, is important for learning. Each class is personalized to the needs and interests of the students. I can also realise personal 2D, 3D design projects.

Help with Architectural and Urban Design Projects and Lessons
If you are stuck with a design project, be it a house, a public building, a landscape, or even a piece of the city, I am here to help! I have three years of experience in teaching at the university level, and I am always keen to work with you on the conceptual, artistic, and technical dimensions of your design projects no matter the scale. I can also work with you to acquire foundational design skills and prepare you for future studies. Together we will touch upon: 1- The design process and tools. (e.g. conceptualizing, sketching, modelling, contextualizing, mapping, diagramming) 2- Aesthetic and practical considerations (e.g. expression, quality, human perception, climate, sustainability) 3- The spatial experience and how to materialize it (e.g. space and structure, flow and movement, materiality, detailing) 4- the modes of architectural drawing and visualization (e.g. plans, sections, elevations, axonometrics, perspectives, collages, layouts) 5- Relevant softwares (e.g. AutoCAD, Rhino3D, Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign)

Rhinoceros for Beginners: Experimenting with Rhino's Basic 3D Modeling Tools
Rhinoceros has become a major 3D Modeling tool in the architectural and design market. As an advanced user of Rhino who has been using it for more than 7 years, I enjoy its amazing capabilities that revolutionize previous 3D modeling tools by incorporating advanced tools and excelling in the organic realm. I've used it during my bachelor and master's university years to model my projects because of its speed and enormous capability. It excels in linear and curvy forms and combines the best of both worlds with its versatile commands and features. This class introduces you to this fascinating software step by step. I'll make sure to guide you from getting to know the interface to being able to model elementary structures.
