and i think i need a tutor

Many laser users are self-taught, with help from others along the way. Be prepared for a big learning curve and to decide what you would like to make. The choices are almost endless. Some easy and some teeth-gritting. No matter what, you will not be bored with your new hobby. Practice on waste materials and pay attention to safety warnings.

Welcome to the Lightburn forum, and use the resources @JessN recommended. And don’t be afraid to ask questions. We all were new at this when starting out.
