Adobe After Effects

Adobe After Effects

I was formally trained in Adobe After Effects during my B.F.A. in Multimedia Production at California State University, Northridge, where I also learned to optimize render speeds and editing workflows. Over the past 8 years, I’ve used Adobe After Effects professionally to produce marketing content and explainer videos for agencies and small businesses. This involved designing animation templates in After Effects, and supervising a team of editors to ensure that the quality of all content remained consistent using my templates. I also have one year of experience tutoring high school students in Adobe After Effects, helping them build editing skills from the ground up. Additionally, I am fluent in related Adobe software like Premiere, and I can teach students how to integrate these tools for a seamless post-production process.
Adobe Photoshop

Adobe Photoshop

During my 8+ years of producing digital content for marketing agencies and small businesses, Photoshop was an essential tool for creating thumbnails and static image ads.

Writing

Writing

As a grad student in the M.A. Integral Counseling Psychology program at CIIS, I read and write in various styles of writing all day long. I'm trained to write scientific prose supported by scholarly sources for research papers, and more figurate prose when describing personal transformation experiences. I also read books related to psychology and mysticism that come from both the scientific and spiritual fields, each using vastly different styles of writing.

Timely Response, Knowledgeable, Patient, and a Great Teacher

Leo jumped in to tutor my son on After Effects within an hour and a half of our inquiry to him! He joined the call early to "help us learn the platform" and provided a thorough, detailed hour of explanation and empowering instruction. He listened to the goals of my 13 year old and tailored the "lesson" to those needs. He was an exceptional communicator, shared best practices for organization and process, and was incredibly patient and professional. Lastly, he didn't only teach clearly and effectively for the hour, but he provided resources and guidance for continued personal learning. I am highly impressed and couldn't recommend Leo more. Thank you, Leo!

Thank you for the kind review, Karla!

Knowledgeable and patient

Leo is extremely patient, makes each step seem easy and imparts his knowledge in a way that makes complete sense, especially if you’re a beginner. I just started using adobe premier and have no prior experience. I am able to easily cut and edit my footage like I’ve been doing this for years. I highly recommend Leo as a tutor.
