HammerDown :)

Honestly I want to tell you Brian isn't a good tutor so I can have him to myself, because Brian is the BEST TUTOR for digital design (of ANY variety) I've had many tutors on Wyzant who approach lessons by working at my skill level...but Brian literally helped me set up my workspace; my desktop, everything!! to a realistic professional level. He gives me so much insight, guidance and patience it's unreal. I am beyond thaknful for his help and I plan to be a student of his for as long as he'll let me.

In-person tutoring is best

It was great to meet in-person! It makes a big difference, especially for learning a skill like photography. That is harder to learn online. There are plenty of photography videos to watch, but having one-on-one help is different.

Sarah, 1 lesson with Brian

Knowledgeable and patient tutor!

Brian is a great instructor, and you can tell PhotoShop is his go-to-tool for making a living. If your livelihood depends on Adobe, check him out for PhotoShop, LightRoom, Bridge, or InDesign!

Chuck, 2 lessons with Brian

Great tutor, highly recommended

Brian was a great help. Smart, friendly and very responsive. We tackled some of the issues I was facing with my InDesign document and he even offered to research some of the more difficult issues for me off the clock. Great experience overall. Would recommend and will be working with Brian again in the future.

Knowledgeable and patient teacher.

Knowledgeable with excellent teaching skills and shows patience with my inexperience. Taught me several useful things I can use on my Mac. I would highly recommend him to anyone as dumb as me.

Brian is a wonderful tutor

Brian was extremely familiar with the MAC computer and patiently helped me navigate my laptop. As a total beginner, I was pleased to try out features on my desktop with him as my experienced guide. I am looking forward to my next lesson.
