    Sketchup 3D modeling software for designers and architects.

    My name is Jacob, I am an independent architect from New Zealand who now lives here in Basel. I've been using Sketchup for ten years, creating award-winning architectural projects.
    I offer my free time to teach the modeling software Sketchup. Whether you want to use the program for architecture, design projects, student projects, or for personal reasons, I bring along how it works and how do you design fluidly in 3D through Sketchup.

    Sketchup is my favorite modeling software because it really feels like sketching in 3D. By teaching, I bring you to the point of view that you feel the same. That you are confident with the program.

    Together we can work on your project or just do some teaching. After the first lesson, we can organize a customized learning plan. I recommend at least two hours of teaching a week. As a result, and depending on your current skills, it could take one to six weeks.

    For advanced students, I offer how to make curved shapes; how to render viewpoints from the model as lifelike images; and how, after designing the design, you can export to other CAD programs.

    I am originally from New Zealand. The lessons can be held in German or in English.

    I am looking forward to teaching you.
    Jacob

    About Me

    I am a freelance architect from New Zealand working here in Basel. In my free time I teaching 3d Modelling software and English lessons.

    Architecture/Design Modelling software lessons:
    I have three years experience teaching architecture at the Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand. I enjoy teaching in this field a lot, as I am passionate about Architecture.

    English Teaching:
    I am a highly experienced native English Language teacher from New Zealand. I have four years experience in teaching English to adults of all levels. My specialty is conversational English for spoken-fluency, exam preparation, and English for professional presentations.

    I am now seeking new individuals or groups for communicative and interactive English Lessons in the Basel area. My recommendation is a weekly schedule of two 1.5 hour classes for fast improvement. I am available to meet for private or group classes in home, workplace, at the Kollegienhaus at Basel University or a café.

    My lessons are very engaging, the material I offer is interesting and current. Lessons will be taught in English full-immersion style. I am also fluent in German and Spanish which gives me a strong understanding of common pronunciation and grammar faults. (I have many tips on how to improve these quickly!)

    My previous professional experience include working for the Spanish Military in Madrid as well as the national railway company of Spain. I am an architect by training, so I am very knowledgeable of design vocabulary and expression.

    I look forward to working together with your English language skills.

    Education

    Anita
    Interdisciplinary Arts & Thinking - The Visionary Freedom Lab
    My name is Anita, and I am an interdisciplinary neurodivergent artist. I combine traditional and unconventional teaching methods with an innovative approach, adapted to the fast-paced era we live in, where attention spans can be short. My teaching integrates principles of psychology to better understand each student’s unique needs and aspirations. My goal is to nurture visionary children who have strong foundational values and a humble sense of self. I believe that true artistic mastery comes from human excellence. Also, in this way, students develop true self-confidence by evaluating their success based on personal progress rather than comparing themselves to others. This course is especially recommended for neurodivergent children (with Autism Level 1 - Asperger's Syndrome, ADHD, OCD, Dyslexia, Dyscalculia, Hypersensitivity, and Anxiety) with multiple interests who struggle to choose, focus on, and manage various subjects. It helps develop both technique and discipline, enabling them to navigate multiple creative fields—essentially putting their eggs in several baskets while honing the skills necessary for diverse career opportunities in an uncertain job market. The program encourages a generalist mindset, promoting versatility without compromising creative integrity. Students will learn to refine their Zoom In/Zoom Out perspective, gaining the ability to see both the bigger picture and the finer details of any subject. The program's structure guides the individuals through three essential phases: Exploration Phase–Presentations, visual games, and foundational lessons introduce students to various disciplines, helping them discover their interests. Development Phase–They start defining their creative goals, practicing their skills, and trying out various artistic approaches. Mastery Phase - With a clear direction, students focus on long-term goals, whether as brand-focused professionals, university students, or future educators. Disciplines covered include architecture, painting, illustration, concept design (especially for gaming), traditional animation, digital art, children's book illustration, film, creative writing, and music (the art of songwriting). A Purposeful, Transparent Approach I work closely with each student, providing honest yet supportive evaluations to help identify their strengths. My goal is to guide serious and passionate learners and not to mislead families into unnecessary expenses. I strive to be straightforward in a respectful and encouraging manner, communicating if a child may not be suited for this path. A Valuable Investment in Thinking & Creativity Even if a student ultimately chooses a non-artistic career, this course fosters critical and creative thinking, which are essential skills for any field. The knowledge gained here is never wasted; it’s an investment in adaptability, innovation, and problem-solving abilities that transcend the arts.

    Prestressed concrete, reinforced concrete and test preparation lessons
    Prestressed concrete is a type of concrete in which certain stresses are applied to the concrete before it is subjected to any load or pressure during its use in construction. This is usually done by tensioning steel wires or rods into the concrete using special devices, and then the concrete is held in a prestressed position. Then, when loads are applied to the concrete during its use, these initial stresses enhance its ability to carry loads better. Advantages: Increased endurance: Helps to withstand heavy loads and high pressures. Reduce cracks: It helps reduce cracks that may appear as a result of heavy loads. Use less material: It can help reduce the amount of concrete and steel required compared to regular concrete. Greater resistance to tension: Prestressed concrete is more resistant to tensile forces than regular concrete. Uses: Bridges: Commonly used in bridges, where concrete must withstand huge loads. Tunnels: Also used in the construction of tunnels and underground passages. High-rise buildings: They may be used in the construction of tall buildings that require high load-bearing capacity.
