About your tutor
I am Divya Garg, a Master’s degree holder in architecture with a strong passion for teaching and mentoring aspiring designers. I specialize in architectural software such as Rhino, SketchUp, and AutoCAD, focusing on beginners and intermediate learners who want to build both technical skills and conceptual clarity. I believe that architecture can feel overwhelming at first, so my teaching approach is centered on simplifying complex concepts into clear, manageable steps. I adapt to each student’s learning pace and style, ensuring they develop a strong foundation while gaining confidence in using these tools effectively. My teaching style combines structured learning with real-world application. I create tailored study plans, assist with assignments, conduct mock tests, and provide career guidance to support overall growth. My sessions are interactive and hands-on, encouraging students to actively practice and apply what they learn. I also ensure a supportive and flexible environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and making mistakes, including adapting to special learning needs when required. My goal is to help students not only improve their grades but also develop critical thinking, creativity, and practical skills, enabling them to succeed in the field of architecture and design.

Architecture concepts taught by Divya
The tutor and student explored advanced chess tactics, focusing on discovered checks, double checks, and discovered attacks. They practiced identifying these tactical opportunities through various puzzles and then transitioned to defensive strategies, learning how to defend against checkmate threats. The session concluded with a brief review of opening principles during a practice game.
Discovered Check
Defending Against Checkmate
Hanging Pieces
Discovered Check and Attack/Double Check
The Tutor and Student practiced advanced SketchUp tools for architectural design, including the offset tool, push-pull for creating openings, and methods for constructing roofs, stairs, and applying colors. The next session will cover groups, components, and detailing architectural elements.
Offset Tool for Wall Creation
Positive and Negative Space in 3D Modeling
Push/Pull Tool for Extrusion and Creation of Openings
Transformations: Move
Rotate
Scale
SketchUp Selection Modes
The student and tutor worked on an architectural modeling project in SketchUp, focusing on advanced grouping techniques and the creation of detailed elements like shower frames and glass panels. They practiced using offset tools for precise measurements and discussed the benefits of early grouping for efficient modeling and material application. The session concluded with the import of 3D components and a review of remaining lesson time.
Grouping and Selection in 3D Modeling
Using the Offset Tool for Precision
Modeling Complex Components: Glass and Frames
Leveraging Groups for Efficient Modeling
The tutor guided the student through various tools and techniques in SketchUp for 3D modeling, covering drawing, extrusion, selection, and transformation tools. They practiced creating a basic room layout with a door and window, and discussed importing 3D models for fixtures like a toilet. The next session will continue with interior design elements and advanced modeling concepts.
Basic Navigation and Selection
Drawing Tools and Axis Control
Push/Pull and Offset for Extrusion
Transformation Tools (Move
Rotate
Scale)
Groups and Components for Organization
The Student and Tutor focused on mastering fundamental 3D modeling tools in SketchUp. They extensively practiced using the Push/Pull tool to create 3D forms from 2D shapes, controlling extrusion with exact dimensions, and understanding its behavior with other geometries. The Move tool was introduced, with the Student practicing selecting and precisely snapping entire objects. The Tutor advised the Student to install the necessary app on their iPad for improved screen sharing in the next session, scheduled for Friday.
The Push/Pull Tool: From 2D to 3D
Creating Closed Geometries with the Line Tool
Understanding 3D Axes: X
Y
and Z Directions
Controlling Extrusion with Exact Distances
Selecting and Moving Entire Objects Precisely
Object Interaction: Collisions and Deletion during Push/Pull
The Student and Tutor began an introductory session on SketchUp software, focusing on interface navigation and fundamental 2D drawing tools. The Student practiced zooming, orbiting, using the lasso selection tool, erasing, and drawing basic shapes like lines, rectangles, and circles while learning to input precise dimensions. The Tutor suggested the Student log in from both an iPad and a larger screen for future sessions to improve visibility and screen-sharing capabilities.
