- SALLY, El Cerrito, CA on 2/21/13Felicia K. is a terrific tutor! She helped me both with some Mac issues and with digital photography stuff. She has an impressive resume, including having working at Looking Glass Camera store for 2 years. Her pace was just right for me. She seemed intuitively right in synch with my pace of note taking, and so on. I can not give Felicia a higher recommendation. She's great!
"Fun blog photography"
- Joanna, San Francisco, CA on 2/20/17I have a personal non profit fun only photography blog. It's really nice to have a professional photographer and a great teacher like Felicia to help me through all my stupid questions. Felicia is a great teacher, punctual, professional, kind, patience, and fun to work with! She takes her job seriously, and so do I.
"Knowledgeable and professional"
- Andrew, Oakland, CA on 12/15/16Felicia listened attentively to what I wanted to learn, and explained the features of Lightroom to me concisely and efficiently. Her knowledge of presentation considerations (size, paper type, etc.) was also very helpful.
"Very helpful - knows her stuff!"
- Amanda, San Francisco, CA on 7/7/16Not only is Felicia herself a great photographer, she can give tips on photography as well as really help with the processing/workflow of photography - I needed help with Lightroom, back up hard drives, making sure everything was going where it was supposed to, etc. Plus she is very nice and smart. Looking forward to our next session!
"Great tutor!"
- Esther, Richmond, CA on 3/13/16I met with Felicia for our first tutoring session and found her easy to work with and accommodating. She is very knowledgeable and able to clearly explain how the Mac works in ways that I was able to understand. Thank you!
"Wonderful tutor"
- Marie, Oakland, CA on 2/24/16Felicia was right on time and started the lesson of photography for my ten year old son. She was patient and kind and he learned a ton. We reached the goal for the evening which was for him to be able to get the photos off the camera and onto one of our computers. I would recommend her for kids as well as adults like myself that need extra support when it comes to computers.
"Great Instructor"
- Mark, San Pablo, CA on 1/19/16Felicia knows the material very well. Scheduled for 2 hours but was with her for nearly 3. Looking forward to our next session as I am only a beginner using Lightroom and have much more to learn.
"Great tutor"
- Jim, Moraga, CA on 2/17/15Felicia was very knowledgeable about getting Lightroom organized for me as I transitioned to it for the first time. Got all the info needed for the editing techniques I typically use for my landscape photography. Highly recommend!
"On time, knows her stuff"
- Inge, San Francisco, CA on 8/4/14Felicia was right on time. She knows a lot about book publishing design and had some very good suggestions for my endeavors. She also gave me several very practical hints on how to 'edit' photos in Lightroom. Well worth the time and money!
"Awesome Tutor!!"
- Casey, Alameda, CA on 9/9/13Felicia was a great tutor!! I had purchased Adobe Lightroom 5, and had NOT A CLUE how to use it or even where to start. Felicia went through everything with me. Showing and explaining thoroughly, showing me shortcuts, and making sure I understood before we moved on. We had a great time, as well! I will be reaching out again for more tutoring!! Thanks, Felicia!!!
"Competent and inspiring"
- Stephanie, Berkeley, CA on 9/8/13Felicia was very clear with her instructions. She is very knowledgeable about the subject matter we covered. Our lesson left me with a more solid understanding of my camera and more inspired to try new things.
"Patient, Talented and Professional Tutor!"
- Amanda, Alameda, CA on 9/6/13My photo library was a mess - scattered among different versions of Lightroom, different catalogs and drives, etc.
Felicia helped me clean up my 40k+ photos in Lightroom and come up with a plan for the future - all in just one session. She is very patient and extremely knowledgeable in all aspects of photography. She was responsive and flexible on meeting location and time. Highly recommend her services!
"Very knowledgeable"
- Kerstin, Pleasant Hill, CA on 9/5/13Great tutor, very patient and willing to share useful tips and tricks around the photography. She understands the students' needs and is able to convey the terminology very nicely.
"Knows her stuff, great tutor."
- Mark, Kentfield, CA on 2/22/13Felicia is an excellent instructor. Knows far more than Photoshop and Lightroom. Can help you with SEO as well. She will have a quick grasp of your problem and have easy solutions. I would recommend Felicia K.
Approved subjects are in bold.
Approved subjects
In most cases, tutors gain approval in a subject by passing a proficiency exam. For some subject areas, like music and art, tutors submit written requests to demonstrate their proficiency to potential students. If a tutor is interested but not yet approved in a subject, the subject will appear in non-bold font. Tutors need to be approved in a subject prior to beginning lessons.
Botany
Botany was my minor in college. I had the pleasure of taking biology, botany, plant physiology, and other interesting classes. I spent much time in a laboratory with my face in a microscope!
College was also when I discovered my green-thumb, spending hours working in our campus greenhouse.
I apply my botanical knowledge to my ever-fruiting produce garden and an unreasonable collection of houseplants.
I combine my plant interests with my photography career in the form of chlorophyll printing, a photography process exploiting the mechanism of photosynthesis.
Macintosh
I am an Apple Geek! I have been working on Mac computers since 2004.
I currently use a MacBook, a MacMini, an iPhone, and an iPad. I have in depth knowledge of most Apple programs and OS.
I love using shortcuts, quickkeys, and other Mac-based tricks.
If I don't know the answer to a problem, I know how to locate an answer in about 30 seconds.
Photography
I have both a BA and an MFA in photography. I own my own photography business and teach one-on-one photography lessons to select clients.
I work in film photography (medium and large format), digital photography (Nikon based), toy camera photography (holga/Diana), darkroom and alternative processes, studio photography (using both strobes and hot lights), portraiture and self portraiture. I often shoot wedding and event photography, as well as product photography and the occasional odd photo gig.
I have 7 years of college and over 10 years of experience...there isn't much that I don't have knowledge of, if not expertise!
Public Speaking
I have been doing public speaking, performances, and storytelling since I was a young child.
I know many techniques (beyond the standard "picture them in underwear") that can boost confidence and have a considerable effect on public speaking effectiveness.
I was the speaker at both my High School and College graduations, as well as at many smaller functions throughout my life.
With a little coaching, you'll feel more at ease in front of a crowd also!
