Lyawonda
Certified Tutor
I'm a dedicated tutor with a strong background in engineering and education, offering support in both AutoCAD and K12 mathematics. Over the past 18 years, I've worked with a wide range of studentsfrom middle and high school learners building foundational math skills, to adult learners gaining confidence in technical drawing and design software.
In math, I focus on helping students understand the "why" behind the numbers. Whether we're working on fractions, algebra, or geometry, I make sure the material connects to real-life examples they can relate to. I'm patient and flexible, and I tailor each session to meet the individual needs of my students, no matter their learning style or pace.
When it comes to AutoCAD, I bring in my professional experience to teach practical skills. I guide students through 2D and 3D design, explaining each tool and command in a clear, step-by-step way. My goal is to help learners not just complete a project, but truly understand how the software works and how it applies to careers in engineering, architecture, or construction.
I believe in building trust and confidence first. I want my students to feel comfortable asking questions, making mistakes, and celebrating progress. Every session is about growth, not just academically, but in self-belief and problem-solving ability. Helping someone grasp a concept they once found difficult is what I enjoy most about tutoring.
