About Moataz A.
Close
For as long as I can remember I've been drawing in my free time. After going to Art school and learning how to draw on a professional level, I took note of how I was taught how to draw and am very confident on teaching you how to use a wide variety of tools to draw a wide variety of things.
About Moataz
My promise to you is that I will teach you everything I know in the time I'm given and provide you with all sorts of outside resources to get you on your way to fluency and proficiency.
I'll make sure to do my absolute best to get you speaking a new language from day one, learning a Design program immediately, or teaching you how to letter with the rules they don't teach you in school. And best of all, I'll even show you how to actually make money with all of these.
I have a very unique journey into learning where I experienced many places and got a fresh and different understanding to the many su
My Design work has been very general so I've done a lot of different things before I specialized in hand lettering, so I've done it all from advertisements on billboards to website design and development, to copywriting, to branding from start to finish for companies big and small.
My love for lettering and Calligraphy emerged when I started getting more Logos for client work and my exploration of type wasn't the best answer most of the time so I would letter everything myself, and the rest is history.
I am really passionate about learning and even more passionate about sharing what I've learned. I am efficient, I know what works for different people since I taught in classrooms and tutored way before I knew about Takelessons, and I'm most proud of being praised as a very genuine person. A very common compliment I get is that I sincerely want my students to do well. And it makes me really happy every time someone says it, and I hope that one day you see that and tell me the same thing.
Feel free to find out more about me and ask me anything you want, and I really look forward to one day teach you something that will get you to achieve your goals! :)
Just so there are no surprises, I raise my prices very slightly every 3 months, next time it will go up is on March 3rd 2017. The reason for this is because I get better and more efficient at teaching as time goes by, so that hour that you get now is much more packed with value than the same hour last year or last month.

About Jess F.
Close
I am a natural born Artist. Drawing has been a passion and specialty of mine since childhood, as this practice carried over to my art education at Pratt Institute, BY, NY. I participated as a top student in many extensive studio courses which involved multiple 6hr drawing classes per week. I have been experimenting with many different approaches for quite some time, therefore my style and methods are by no means limited. This process is so innate to me that teaching it to others is second nature as well. I create a personalized and comprehensible curriculum/lesson plan for each student depending on their unique needs and areas of interest.
About Jess
My name is Jess, and I am a Professional Artist and Tutor (of all listed subjects) who is very creative, genuine, and intuitive. I have been teaching for many years, and I have been exploring and expanding upon many art forms since childhood. I am very light-hearted, and have a deep passion for Fine Art, Writing, Poetry, and Performance Art.
My ability to interpret and communicate on a deep level is innate, as is the connection I share with my students. I find fun and creative ways to educate, so our time together is something to look forward to. I create a personalized and comprehensible curriculum/lesson plans for each student depending on their areas of improvement, areas of interest, and goals. I have wonderful experience and have formed great relationships as well as positive results!
My rate depends upon length of session

About Katherine V.

I've been drawing all my life and still enjoy it. It's a great pastime and a creative way to express yourself. You'll need, pencils, large pad of paper and to keep a sketch book for this class. You'll learn different techniques and ways to see things on paper. If you want classes in the Manhattan Beach library, let me know, and give me some time, so I can schedule a room there in advance.
About Katherine
I graduated from the Art Center College of Design, in Pasadena, CA. and later took some additional classes at UCLA. I taught graphic design and illustration at Woodbury University. I've worked for advertising agencies and large corporations.
I now have my own business and also enjoy teaching young students through adults.
Businesses and academic institutions around the world use PowerPoint. It is important at all levels to be an effective communicator and presenter.
I will use my academic knowledge joined with my new world digital technology skills, to make you able to express yourself.
