About Lorne
I’m a mechanical engineering technologist with over a decade of real industry experience using AutoCAD and SolidWorks to design industrial machinery, hydraulic and pneumatic systems, exploration drilling equipment, and fabricated components. I’ve worked with engineering teams, manufacturers, and clients across multiple sectors, so I understand exactly how CAD is used in the real world. As a tutor, my goal is to make CAD clear, practical, and confidence-building. I explain concepts in a way that makes sense, provide structured lessons, and guide students step-by-step until they fully understand not just how to use a tool, but why it matters in a real project. I’m professional, patient, and genuinely invested in student success. Whether you’re a beginner, a student, or a working professional upgrading your skills, I’ll provide personalized lessons, real examples, and supportive guidance every step of the way. With me, you’re not just learning software—you’re learning industry-proven techniques that will make you a stronger designer.
