"He was just amazing!"

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.
Film
A Directors Guild director and a Screen Actors Guild actor I bring the experiences of an award-winning 40-year career in filmmaking. Knowing that film is a collaborative art, I began teaching my craft as I learned it, writing manuals, reviewing software and offering classes.
Microsoft Outlook
I've been a user of Outlook since Windows 3.11 and I'm familiar with most iterations of the program since then.
When Windows 95 was introduced, I wrote a 13 part analysis of the OS for the seminal online publication, WebZine Weekly. I covered the Windows and it's many parts including Outlook.
I teach of series of filmmaking courses. Though somewhat peripheral, communications are essential and I've taught the use of Outlook as one of the best applications.
Microsoft Windows
My background with Microsoft stretches back to the early days of DOS. After providing input as a Windows 95 beta tester, I wrote an in-depth 13 part series on the program for the seminal online journal, WebZine Weekly.
I frequently teach Windows from its most basic uses all the way through its advanced functionality.
Microsoft Word
I have been a Microsoft user and teacher since 1990.
Photography
I am a published still photographer. My work began in the days of film and darkrooms and moved to the digital era. With a background as a filmmaker, I apply my knowledge of enhanced natural and studio lighting to my work as a photographer. I am currently learning to get the best work from the camera in an Android cell phone.
Theater
Beginning as an Equity stage manager, I spent the next three years directing dinner theater for six theatres in four states. Mounting a new show every two or three months, I was responsible for delivering 23 separate productions in that period.
Video Production
In studios, on working sets and off to distant locations, video is a key part of much of my production work. My three-part PBS documentary was shot and edited entirely in video. I was Showrunner on a series shot on location entirely in video.
When I teach film budgeting or writing business plans or writing a screenplay, video is as integral to the discussion as film. "I'm a filmmaker" no longer implies exposing actual film. Filmmakers make videos, too. Now that cameras leapfrog their technical improvements to deliver astonishing images, video has become the prime medium for delivering content at every budget level.
