I teach beginning and intermediate students in Photoshop and other graphics applications (Adobe's Creative Suite) in classes or private tutoring. One of the cornerstones of my classes is my belief that they must be tailored to the needs and goals of the students. Many adults come to these classes with tremendous variation in their experience and skills; it is my primary job to first ascertain what my students need and how best to proceed to attain their goals. I strive to promote a low pressure and welcoming atmosphere, geared to the needs and goals of adult students. I use discussions, demonstrations, videos, hand outs, and other materials to demystify Photoshop, (including Photoshop Elements) and other graphics applications to help students to discover their endless creative possibilities for personal and business expression. Private tutoring can be tailored to your specific needs and goals, personal or business.
