"Hi, this is Michael. I would like to start out by saying that I greatly enjoy Photoshop and the techniques used with graphics designing. I believe in having a hands on, face to face approach to learning and teaching. This is why I believe in helping the student achieve his or her goal in becoming more professionally at and more efficient in Photoshop cs6 by understanding how each student responds to learning and adapting that curve to best bring about productivity and an engaging atmosphere for the student in learning of this software. I hold an Adobe Certified Associate Certification in Visual Communications with Photoshop cs6.

How do I accomplish making the learning atmosphere better for you? I start by finding out the level of experience of the student I am teaching, and begin with helping the student understand the basics of the layout of the software, basic techniques with changing of the UI, and basics of the tools and the options associated with those tools. Teaching concepts of retouching, typography, brushes, layers, color, and composition etc. Teaching the student not only the information that is needed to be successful in Photoshop, but also what is needed for certification and more." less...
