Private tutoring is an excellent way to learn software, design and computer skills. My one-on-one approach provides personalized assistance and instruction that takes place in your home or office, at your convenience, on your computer, using your software, working on your project, and, most important, at your speed. All instruction is geared to your specific needs.

I am a professional Graphic Designer with 20+ years experience in graphic design, marketing and advertising. I am Mac based and use the Adobe Creative Suite exclusively for all of my projects. I am offering private tutoring for beginner and intermediate users of PhotoShop and InDesign. I will also show you how to integrate other "Suite" programs into your project workflow (i.e. - Dreamweaver, Illustrator, Acrobat, Flash, Image Ready.)

For Mac users, I can provide additional instruction in the basics of the operating system, and tips and tricks for optimizing your computer working environment.
