Teaching Photoshop is all about good delivery. Some of the material may be pretty dry, but it's put across in an engaging and visual way that appeals to your common sense, it will be absorbed much quicker. If you are already at an advanced level, we can usually work faster together, and part of the session will often be a blitz of questions from you, and answers & examples from me. Sometimes I may suggest an area to delve further into.
I am very happy to work on your own image-projects for individual Photoshop training, but I also have high-quality dedicated training images for you to work on. I tend to ask you a lot of (relevant) questions during a session, and I do this in order to engage you, make you question things yourself, and of course to find out about the way you think and work. In some situations, I challenge you to consider solutions before I give you the answer to a question.
Because I am an experienced trainer I quickly pick up what you're like, and adapt to that. I respect that different people are more or less methodical and I respond to each type of character in a different way. The session be very structured, or worked very loosely. It's up to you.
My teaching content adheres to common good practice. If I sometimes deviate from common practice, I'll make sure you know that I'm teaching my particular method, and also offer to teach the common way of doing it. If Photoshop defaults are changed, I'll make you aware of how it's done, and how you get them back.
I believe that teaching is not about showing off, or just showing you something I happen to know. It's about getting you engaged in the material, and working hands-on. I will accommodate people who just want to watch me retouch (and talk you through it) but you're much better off working hands-on.
All the training is supported by my written tutorials, written in a similar style to the verbal guidance during the session. This is for you to use as backup when you're at home, and to use just like you would use a Photoshop-book. I also have ebooks with detailed tutorials.
