Heres an example with Fill (F) and only a vertex selected
Mouse location dependent fill direction!
Use Loop Tools > Circle to shape verticies perfectly
Use Bridge to connect this loop to another part of the mesh

Make a "skirt" in any angle:
Offset Edges > Extrude > Angle
Youtube: Make sure you enable edit mesh tools
Set Flow:
Aligns selected edges with the natural flow and curvature of adjacent geometry
Set Curve & Set Linear:
Additional operators that help shape edge loops into:
defined curves or
straighten them into a linear arrangement
Adjustable Parameters:
adjusting tension,
iterations, or
min angle to achieve the desired result

union
difference, and
intersection
A must-have for anyone working with shaders. It speeds up node editing dramatically and is included by default in Blender
Good when bezier/nurbs curve/surface modeling

For the teacher to show key strokes
With high resolution screen it is convinient to scale up the interface a bit, try with 1.25
