Craft 3D Masterpieces with SketchUp & AutoCAD Maestro Extraordinaire

Hello! I'm Jared Bergenstal, and I'm passionate about teaching Architecture and CAD on this platform. With a Bachelor's degree in Interior Architecture & Design, I bring a unique perspective to my tutoring sessions. My teaching philosophy revolves around making complex concepts simple and accessible to students of all levels. I believe in creating a supportive and engaging learning environment where students feel empowered to ask questions and explore creatively. I specialize in teaching SketchUp and AutoCAD, using interactive techniques to keep students actively involved in the learning process. I tailor my approach to suit individual learning styles and pace, ensuring that each student grasps the material effectively. I find design and architecture to be a very interesting field, but often the work of designing digitally can be tedious and repetitive. I want to help you excel in your work so that you are able to learn new techniques to improve your skills either in your work or your academic studies. It's a must to be able to understand how to create detailed construction documents in design and also to model and render interiors that are able to communicate the vision, materiality and scale. I like to make the process of learning these tools as easy and fun as possible so you can achieve your needs quickly and complete your project successfully.

As a SketchUp and AutoCAD tutor, I cater to students of all levels by providing a personalized and interactive learning experience. My teaching style is engaging, hands-on, and practical, focusing on detailed concepts. I guide students through customized design projects that align with their architectural interests, whether it be residential or urban design. Additionally, I incorporate my research on the use of CAD software in architecture education to enhance the learning process. By offering detailed written feedback on design principles and technical execution, I help students not only improve their skills but also pursue opportunities in top architecture schools and design firms. I like to start with a breakdown of your project, any files you are willing to share so I can understand your needs and also what you are struggling with in terms of completing the next step. I like my lessons to be interactive so that you are able to ask questions and direct the lesson yourself with where you want to go. If you don't have specific goals for a project and want to learn software more generally, I am able to structure a lesson so you can increase your skills and speed in using software and can be better prepared for any work that comes your way!
