Basic computers/3d modeling

[junesrose.livejournal.com]

Hey all.

I'm reaching out to the community to ask for help. My son is in his second year at a local art school and is really having a hard time this year with one of his classes. Now, I know I'm sounding like the "helicopter" parent, but he's tried the tutoring services at his school and they don't have anyone available to help with this particular class (seriously?). He's an animation major and the class is 3d modeling. He does have the name of one person who is willing to help, but he's also a student, not an official "tutor", and also has time constraints/schedule conflicts, etc. He's also been told there are online tutorials, but he's one of these visual learners (like me) who really needs to be shown first. Doing it on his own ain't gonna happen.

Anyone know anyone that might be willing to tutor a young struggling animation student? Or, better yet, anyone know of any classes through local adult-ed programs that might offer said class, so he can take a no-credit class first?

I know I"m grasping at straws, and I'm going to do more investigating but thought I'd throw this out there first.

Thanks in advance.
