  Hello, I am an excellent Photoshop tutor with more than 15 years
  of extensive experience. I tutor in blocks of 2 to 3 hours.
  
  I can guarantee you 2 things.
  
  1) If you were to take a class somewhere else it would be
  too basic & general, and would not focus on the majority of
  issues you need in the real world with the one on one attention.
  Many of my students are former students from classes
  that let them down.
  
  2) I can teach you what you need to learn in half the time - gracefully.
