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 Student and Tutor continued practicing SketchUp, focusing on creating diagonal braces for a frame, and then learned how to add dimensions and highlight areas with text labels. The session concluded with importing a hand-drawn floor plan, which the Student will prepare with a specific dimension for tracing in the next class.

and Highlighting
Effective Grouping and Exploding Strategies
Constructing Complex Forms with the Follow Me Tool
The Student and Tutor revised key chess tactics including pins, skewers, knight forks, double attacks, discovered checks, and stalemates. They practiced applying these concepts by solving various puzzles and then played a full game, with the Tutor advising on strategic development and avoiding immediate threats. The Tutor assigned practice puzzles and recommended reviewing provided materials in preparation for a written test in the next class.

The Skewer
The Pin
The Tutor introduced the Student to the fundamental chess tactic of 'pin'. They practiced identifying and creating pins, understanding different types of pins, and learning how to exploit them or defend against them. Homework links with images for revision were provided, and a plan was made to split future 60-minute sessions into two 30-minute classes per week to better suit the Student's focus and learning pace.

Types of Pins and Pinning Pieces
Leveraging a Pin: Winning Material and Checkmates
Escaping a Pin: Defensive Strategies
The Student and Tutor practiced the chess tactic of 'pinning,' reviewing several scenarios where pieces like bishops and rooks could pin an opponent's piece to their king. They worked through examples of identifying and executing pins, including using pins for checkmate and strategic material gain. They plan to continue their sessions next week.

The Student and Tutor focused on fundamental SketchUp skills, practicing the creation, manipulation, and organization of 3D architectural frames. The session covered drawing objects with specific dimensions, using Push/Pull for extrusion, grouping and exploding components, and utilizing Move, Copy, and Rotate tools for precise placement. The Student also began working on diagonal elements, with plans to continue refining these in the next session.

The Student and Tutor reviewed and practiced various checkmate patterns in chess, including King and Queen checkmates and the Two Rooks (Ladder) checkmate. They then applied chess development principles in a live game, focusing on piece development, castling, and central control.
