About Juan


Bio

My first tutoring experience started by becoming a teacher assistant my senior year in college in the Graphic Design program. I was tutoring designers using illustrator, Indesign, and photoshop. I have been using photoshop for over 15 years. After a few years in the field, I decided to pursue photography which knowledge of photoshop has helped me tremendously. I can teach at any level. I can go in depth or get straight to the techniques you are looking to achieve.

Juan was excellent

I will do more sessions with him. He made the process easy and productive. He took the time to explain techniques in a few ways to understand them fully. ...................................................................................................................................

One Excellent Teacher

Juan is one of the best tutors I have ever had. He is patient, knowledgeable, and experienced. In just four classes, I became very comfortable with Photoshop and illustrator. Juan helped me with so much more than just Photoshop skills, he shared sources, gave suggestions, and guided me on my future purchases to ensure I would not waste money on unneeded graphic design gadgets.

Very helpful, accommodating and patient

Juan has gone over (and over and over at my request) all the items I want to learn each time and then throws in more info that he thinks I should know. Very helpful.

Excellent!

Juan was on time and well prepared. He really knows his stuff and made recommendations that saved me a ton of time during my product photography shoot. I will be using him in the future and am very pleased.
