Need help with mechanics, physics, or thermodynamics? As a 33-year-old civil engineer, I'm happy to help! I'll learn at your own pace, using plenty of examples to illustrate the material. I have years of experience teaching both simple and complex subjects.

The lessons run as follows. First, we look together for the student's biggest stumbling blocks. These can be related to the subject matter as well as to the study method. From there, I work at the pace of the student and encourage them to ask as many questions as possible. I also give tips and tricks, and improve their working methods where necessary. During the lesson I give many examples to make the subject matter more interesting and we solve exercises together. Once practiced from the lesson, I mastered challenging exercises to also test the deeper understanding of the subject matter. In this way I try to optimally prepare the student for his/her exam test.

However, learning should also be enjoyable. That is why I always strive for a bond with the student through a spontaneous and positive approach. I am also very patient. All this to solve and improve the problems.

Are you interested? Don't hesitate to receive me!
Please come!

I have graduated with a degree in chemical engineering from the University of Edinburgh, UK. I am also an Erasmus Mundus scholar with a master's in Analytical Chemistry from Uppsala University. Currently, I am pursuing a PhD in physical chemistry.

I have been tutoring since 2012 to fund my education expenses. I formally began tutoring in 2014 as part of my vocational training as a teacher in Ghana, funded by the University of Edinburgh. The formal training has taught me a lot about curriculum development, time management, and fusing my teaching methodology to my students’ needs. I have been tutoring in Physics, Chemistry, and Math, in person and online; the hybrid model has allowed me to reach out and teach students in 8 different countries. I have successful students from these past nine years who have not only commended my work ethic but can also stand testament to my enthusiasm.

My excellent academic career has nurtured in me a natural talent for teaching. My experiences have taught me how to tackle one problem at a time, and I believe that using this approach—paired with my unconventional examples that force students to think outside the box—I can truly provide an excellent understanding and explanation. My teaching methodology is based on two main things: skill development and adaptation. Initially, I create a skeleton of the most suitable methodology tailored to the preferred curriculum, after which, I adapt that lecture to the specific needs of the student based on their knowledge and grasp of the concepts. Second, I like to develop analytical and scientific ability along with knowledge in my students, and for that, I use a combination of resources in the form of worksheets, class tasks, and past papers. Last, I believe in the strong ethic of providing feedback to the parents, so that they are aware of their child’s progress.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Which subject(s) do you teach?
I teach math, mechanics, statistics, chemistry and physics. I also teach biology up to GCSE level.

When are you available? My timetable is quite flexible. I am happy to work weekdays, week evening and weekends.

Which ages and levels do you teach? The majority of my students are between the ages of 10-18, but I also teach college Students. I am also helping foundation and first year university students.

Which qualifications do you prepare your students for? GCSE, o-level, A/S-level, A-level, IB, School entrance exams and SATs

Describe your arrangements for online tutoring? I use Zoom online sessions since it has many tools and features specially designed for interactive and visual learning. I am fully equipped with modern gadgets for e-learning. I use Google drive and docs to share files.

Master Engineering Drawing, Technical Drawing and Engineering Graphics with a practical, step-by-step approach.

Are you a student who finds engineering drawing difficult to visualize? Do you want to understand orthographic projections, front/top/side views, sections, dimensions, scales, and 3D shapes instead of simply memorizing drawing procedures?

I provide friendly, patient and practical online coaching in Technical Drawing, Engineering Drawing, Engineering Graphics, CAD and Engineering Design for students from high school through university, as well as professionals who want to strengthen their technical drawing and design skills.

What You Will Learn

The classes are designed to develop both your drawing skills and your ability to visualize engineering objects in 2D and 3D.

Topics can include:

Engineering Drawing fundamentals and drawing conventions
Visualization of 2D and 3D geometric shapes
Orthographic projection
Front, Top, Side and Back views
First-angle and Third-angle projection
Isometric views and pictorial representation
Sectional views and sectional drawings
Hidden lines, centre lines and construction lines

Development of surfaces
Intersections of solids
Tolerances and basic fits
Engineering drawing standards and conventions
Reading and interpreting engineering drawings
Production-oriented technical documentation
Mechanical components and product drawings
Basic engineering design principles
From Hand Drawing to CAD and 3D Models

I also help students understand how traditional engineering drawing connects with modern Computer-Aided Design (CAD).

You can learn how a product or mechanical component can be:

Visualized → Sketched → Dimensioned → Created in CAD → Converted into a 3D Model → Prepared for Manufacturing / 3D Printing

Depending on your requirements, lessons can include AutoCAD, 2D drafting, 3D modelling and engineering design workflows.

The objective is not only to teach you which commands to use, but to help you understand why a drawing is created in a particular way and how engineers use drawings to communicate a design.

Practical, Student-Focused Teaching

My teaching approach is based on understanding through visualization and practice.

Instead of simply demonstrating a drawing, I explain:

How to visualize the object before drawing it
How to identify the different surfaces and views
How the front, top and side views are related
How to determine the required dimensions
How to construct the drawing step by step
How to avoid common drawing mistakes
How to interpret engineering drawings correctly
How the same concept is applied in CAD and real-world design

Lessons include worked examples, practical exercises and real engineering/product examples so that students can gradually develop confidence and independence.

Who Are These Classes For?

These lessons are suitable for:

High school students studying technical/engineering drawing
Diploma students
Mechanical Engineering students
Civil Engineering students
Architecture students
Industrial Engineering students
Product Design students
Manufacturing Engineering students
Other engineering students studying Engineering Graphics or Engineering Drawing
Students preparing for examinations
Beginners learning CAD and technical drawing
University students working on drawing or CAD projects
Professionals who want to refresh or improve their technical drawing skills

Beginners are welcome. No advanced prior knowledge is required.

Online & Interactive Lessons

All lessons are conducted online and interactively.

Depending on the topic, I can use:

Screen sharing
Live drawing demonstrations
CAD demonstrations
2D drafting
3D modelling
Step-by-step problem solving
Practical drawing exercises
Real-world engineering examples

You can bring your specific syllabus, textbook exercises, assignments, CAD projects or exam topics, and the lessons can be adapted to your requirements.

Learn to Think Like a Designer

Engineering drawing is more than producing a neat drawing on paper. It is a method of visualizing ideas, communicating designs and understanding how objects are constructed and manufactured.

My goal is to help you move from:

“I don't understand this shape.”

to

“I can visualize it, draw its views, add the required dimensions and understand how it would be represented in CAD and manufactured.”

Whether you are starting from zero, preparing for an examination, struggling with engineering graphics, learning CAD, or working on a design project, I will guide you step by step at your own pace.

Book a lesson and let's make Engineering Drawing and CAD easier, more visual and more practical.
