Reviews

Very knowledgeable

Virginia delivered a ton of information--enough to keep me busy for a while, soaking it up, reviewing the recording and applying it to my work. She really knows her stuff!

PHOTOSHOP TRAINING

Virginia was very knowledgeable and patient. I started out trying to use Edge as a browser and it did not work- I had to switch to google and reset everything up so that took a bit of time. Also she was using a MAC and I was using windows 10 pc so she did not have a deep knowledge of windows. Her knowledge of photoshop was fantastic and she taught me a lot about the histogram. If you are a MAC user and want photoshop knowledge I very highly recommend her. If you are a windows user get all set up with google as your browser first and things would go more smoothly

Expert and Glad to Help

Virginia is helping me in Indesign to prepare my book for publishing. She knows InDesign inside and out. I'm very grateful for her step by step, patient guidance. She is my 'go to' person now for manuscript preparation in InDesign.

Vicki, 3 lessons with Virginia

Very patient tutor. really knows her stuff!

She discussed some aspects of Photoshop that I had been struggling with for a long time. Made it much easier and more organized. We will be covering more in our next session

Phillippa, 6 lessons with Virginia

Very helpful!

Virginia knows her stuff and was able to help me with my project. She not only was able to clearly explain each step, she anticipated other tools I would likely need to utilize.

Chuck, 1 lesson with Virginia

Another informative session with Virginia!

Learned some more about Illustrator and how Photoshop and AI complement each other. Gradients and layer masks covered. Also practiced with the generative feature of Photoshop.

Pamela, 2 lessons with Virginia

Excellent!

Virginia is a wealth of knowledge. She describes things in detail, is patient with questions, and very thorough. I will definitely be utilizing lessons with her moving forward.

Lori, 2 lessons with Virginia

Very kind, patient and knowledgeable

Virginia was kind, patient, non-judge mental and very knowledgeable. She knows Ps so well that she could help me without sharing the screen (my computer wouldn’t connect). I will use her tutoring services as much as possible!

Stacey, 1 lesson with Virginia

Blown away by the vastness of her expertise

Virginia really knows her subject and I was amazed at the depth of her knowledge in a very complicated and expansive subject. I am looking forward to our next session.

Larry, 3 lessons with Virginia

Fantastic tutor!

Virginia and I are working on templates specific to my job so that I can use Indesign in the best way to suit what I need from it format wise. She has the perfect pace and I learn new shortcuts and skills each session! Very knowledgeable and easy to follow!
