Hello everyone!

My name is Austin and I have been a tutor for about 11 years. Most of the work I have done was not even my own intention. It turns out that I had a knack for it and the job just came to me since people wanted me to help. I was a tutor for Boise State University's Japanese program. I was able to give everyone the perspective they wanted because I was also in their shoes once. I understand what it is like to learn a new language, it is difficult and it requires passion. I tutored English for foreign exchange students within my university and was astounded with the work we all achieved. I hope to do the same for all of my future students as well.

I was a Japanese tutor at Boise State University for around 4 years. I have completed all courses the university offers for Japanese language. I lived in Japan for a year through a study abroad program, in that time I was able to significantly improve my Japanese language and understanding of Japanese culture.

I am a native English speaker. As a result of being interested in Japanese language mechanics, I have a deeper understanding of my own languages mechanics. I specialize in teaching English to non-native speakers.

Don't be afraid! Those who learn languages have no fear in getting the help they need. Making a mistake is progress and should be celebrated. I hope to see you soon!

Knowledgeable

Austin offers great insights. I would recommend him and utilize him again. He takes the time to look into the potential causes of the problem and makes recommendations.

Knowledgeable and patient tutor

Austin helped me navigate some of the editing features of Lightroom CC and even though he uses the Classic version he knew enough about CC to guide me through it. Very helpful to have him as a tutor!

Vijay, 1 lesson with Austin

Good instructor!

Austin showed me how to make catalogs in Lightroom and explained the purpose for the catalogs. His organizational structure makes sense and I believe will be helpful to me going forward. We also did a little bit of editing of a few photos using both Lightroom and Photoshop.

Knowledgeable and patient tutor

He answered questions that I could not figure out by myself as I have been using Lightroom for a while. Very helpful! I have booked another lesson next week. Thanks!

Great tutor.

Taught me some valuable skills in Lightroom and I would definitely recommend to anyone that's looking learn the program. Don't know what else to say, but I have to keep typing to meet the 160 characters requirement for this review.

Good timing with understanding

Austin, a calm, and understanding demeanor for sure. He doesn't make a dummy feel dumb! Look forward to more sessions and learning an exact yet in inexact program with elements that offer numerous variations

Bill, 10 lessons with Austin

Super knowledgeable and very patient

I’m not the most tech savvy person but Austin was great super knowledgeable and very patient, I have no idea about adobe but I left out of the lesson feeling very confident and happy with how it went!

Not everyone can teach

Im a bit of a perfectionist who will master something and move on. Because of this, I encounter a lot of new faces and have had to deal with a lot of people trying to teach things. As someone who teaches and coaches on a daily basis, I’ve learned that not everyone can teach. To me, most people have a hard time structuring their sentences and an even bigger problem is that most people completely disregard order. Austin is not a typical person. He has all the traits that make for a great teacher. He listens and is able to fill in the gaps in order. So instead of me having to decipher what he is saying and try to complete my own already broken sentence, he is able to finish it for me. As far as his knowledge on the subjects, he is very wise and even gave suggestions on learning things that I didn’t know I needed to learn until after I learned them. He really helped everything click. Thank you Austin
