Mr. Le is a wonderful teacher with a great program to learn from! I have learned so much from the lessons I have had, and it is something that I absolutely love doing. He helps students to see all the parts involved in making a 3D model, not only with step by step instructions that explain the software and the components that go towards creating a 3D model, but also with visualizing the models in sketches. It is amazing to learn from him about something that is becoming a reality in today’s world. To be able to see a design on the computer screen was amazing, but to be able to come back next class and actually hold my model in my hand was absolutely inspiring. I definitely recommend him and his program for learning about the world of 3D CAD!

My 15 year old son tried the free class this past summer and has discovered that he really enjoys learning 3D CAD. Mr. Le is an excellent teacher who cares about the students and really focuses on helping the students to critically think about their lessons. My son has been attending both in person and online with Mr. Le and is learning so much. I love that he is developing a skill that he will be able to use in a career. If your child is possibly interested in engineering, these classes are a great way to develop that interest. Mr Le’s students work on professional level equipment to gain the skills now that will be required for their success later.

Professor Tan is one of the best professors I ever had and he is someone I highly respect. The fact that he was working full time at a different job and still took the time to teach us was something I really admire. More than an instructor, he was also a mentor and someone many of us looked up to. I have no doubt in my mind that anyone who takes his classes will get so much from them and will use whatever knowledge they have gained in their future. I will always remember how by the second lecture professor Tan had already learned all of our names (from a 40 students class) that showed me how much he cared and proved his commitment to every single one of his students’ successes in that class. To summarize about professor Tan Le, he is an exemplary human being and a professional. The impact on people is immense and I know the impact he will have on his future students will be no different. I would definitely recommend “3D CAD Afterschool” program, as it may be a useful tool for those interested in computer aided design, and also as an investment in your child’s future.

My two teenage sons, 13 and 15, have been doing 3D CAD with Tan Le now for over a year. It is a phenomenal program from several different aspects. They are learning cutting edge technology that is used today by numerous companies and big firms, while also learning spatial visualization, and hand-sketching (I don’t think others teach this valuable skill). He works patiently with the kiddos and keeps them on task and learning new techniques as they progress, encouraging them each step along the way. He also is easy to work with, and the kids fit right in. I simply cannot say enough wonderful things about him and especially his program. He stays on the cutting edge with the latest technology from his 3D mouse, 3D printer, touch screen Wacom enabled tablets, and huge flat screen t.v.’s so the kids can see up on the wall their work on the big screen, yet it also allows Tan to see easily and track their steps as they work. His classes are kept small so that it seems like your student is getting one on one teaching. By the end, they will have a portfolio they can print out and keep in a binder as well as make their own 3D object with his printer that they design themselves . . . a trophy of sorts to culminate their learning with him. They also receive a very nice, framable certificate with his professional engineer stamp (PE) as they move through each of the levels.

Tan is a great instructor. I had the opportunity to take a class with him a few years ago. The knowledge of 3D modeling and visualization of objects that he brought to the class were instrumental. By teaching hand sketching using engineering graphics principals while simultaneously teaching how to model in 3D, Tan’s students in the class gained a great skill set that allowed them to excel in their other design and engineering courses. Tan also brings a great level of interaction to his class by using WebEx software that allows screen sharing between all participants allowing them to work together.

The use of an advanced program such as PTC Creo and the ability to use tools (i.e. caliper, digitizer, etc.) makes this program different from a lot of others. Mr. Tan is a great teacher and made the learning process a lot less boring than other classes I took in the past.
Anna McCorkle
The easy and casual interactivity between instructor and student. The simple and effective teaching process, with each day of the week designated to a particular skill or skill set that continually build on each other. The Lego project which was super fun and a very good way to put our 3D modeling skills to use in an actual real life situation.
Erick Mariscal
Professor Tan’s methods of teaching vary between student as needed. By the end of each class everyone has the same full understanding. It can be hard to comprehend how to model in 3D at first but Mr. Tan always knows a way to help anyone understand. He is a great teacher and I strongly recommend him to anyone interested in learning excellent 3D modeling. Since my first year in college, after taking his introductory course I became inspired in pursuing a 3D modeling career and do the similar work Mr. Tan does. He shows you examples of projects he has done and it is incredible work. His work examples show you the power Pro/ENGINEER can have and proves to you that anyone can do the same job. Once again Mr. Tan is an amazing teacher with great charisma, patience, and intelligence. Have fun and enjoy his courses.

I only received the essential knowledge of Creo, then was forced to think by myself. When we had a question it was for a problem with OUR thought process, that we created. I like this because our problems belong to us, making them more memorable and avoidable in the future. Then we were given a book, so we can reflect off of it and compare/contrast our memorable thought process/procedure to a professional. It is a very successful way of teaching and I can see his university experience working. The one on one teaching improves communication between teacher/student, increasing my performance. The easy and casual interactivity between instructor and student. The simple and effective teaching process, with each day of the week designated to a particular skill or skill set that continually build on each other. The Lego project which was super fun and a very good way to put our 3D modeling skills to use in an actual real life situation.

I’ve been doing this program for a long time now, and I words cannot describe how great it is, but I will try to. This program has given me the ability to visualize the interlocking mechanisms of parts, interact with them, make my own projects, and even print them into physical objects. Absolutely amazing and stunning program.
Stacey Raskin
This class is worth more than 5 stars. I have a 14 year old daughter who has been taking this class for a year and a 10 year old that just started. They both love it! Tan is so attentive and provides individual direction, so that each child can work at their own skill level. The knowledge my daughter has gained from Tan in just one year is outstanding. She was able to engineer earrings and then have them 3D printed in rose gold. The feeling of accomplishment she had after having created a tangible item from a 2D picture, makes this class so worthwhile. I highly recommend giving it a try.

Tan is a fantastic instructor. My teenage sons highly respect him and enjoy his program, which they have attended for over a year. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a creative outlet for their creative / analytical child.

Tan Le has been educating my son in 3D CAD engineering principles for almost two years. He is an amazing instructor who tailors his instruction to each individual. In addition to being expert in his technical knowledge, Tan is kind, patient and a skilled communicator. He not only models and teaches the technical skills to become proficient in 3D CAD but also models the character traits that are important for our youth to see in their teachers and mentors. I am beyond thankful for finding Mr. Le!

You may start by modeling simple geometric shapes, but as you continue, and become more familiar with the software, you can choose to replicate more complex models or create your own projects. The teacher is very knowledgeable and patient, and encourages critical thinking.

We love Tan and his 3D cad classes! He taught my middle school and high school boys and made it fun so they wanted to go every week. We highly recommend him!!!
Christopher Dillon
I’m so happy for my boys to be able to attend this wonderful program! I can’t even imaging where this skill can take them and affect on their interest and possibly carrier. i’m an engineer myself and used to work with 3d software but teaching my kids myself is not a rout i want to take. They run to attend this class…Can’t wait for my boys to unlish they design skills, watch the prototype printed! I see their eyes glowing with self pride with EVERY class. They are surprising themselves with what they can do using the software. Imagination will be their own limitation. We are in for whole 3 years of the program!
Christan Fuqua
We have enjoyed this program for our little future engineer! Great way to learn new skills!
Sarah Falk
Mr Tan has been wonderful with my son! My daughter is starting to take classes too. He’s very patient and the kids really enjoy class. My son mostly takes online classes, and we go to Katy once a month. Highly recommend!
Garrett Hidalgo
I love learning from Mr. Tan because he explains what you did wrong instead of just telling you how to fix it. Most teachers would just tell you how to fix the problem, but he encourages me to think critically and makes me find my own solution. I learn so much more this way.

Garret Williams
I have been training with 3D CAD masters for over half of a year and have quickly learned how to use CREO to draw 3D models. In addition to CREO 3D CAD masters taught me the basics of engineering despite having no background knowledge in it at all. I have also become very comfortable drawing the different views of an object by hand. I would highly recommend this program to anyone looking to further their employable skills.
