Arverne, NY Adobe Photoshop Lessons

I've taken Photoshop for the past five years and I absolutely love it and I love to teach it.

I have an extensive knowledge of Photoshop, its tools and how to implement them to create final images. From basic Graphic Design Layouts with typography to complete Digital image manipulations and Photo Retouching I am prepared and equipped with the knowledge to guide you on learning this fantastic digital image processing tool to create your visions into reality.

Experienced Photoshop teacher of 6 years available for eager students of all experience, levels and ages! I adjust and build my lesson structure so students learn what they are interested in and want to learn, while building strong foundations of basic image manipulation/adjustment skills. I specialize in fashion, print design and magazine photo/illustration artistry, typically use real life applications as examples, and have Adobe Creative suite on my laptop available to use during lessons.

We will start by getting to know one another a bit so I can gain a clear idea of what you are hoping to gain from our sessions. Whether it be an intro to a software or taking developing a full start to finish project. After our first meeting I will use my 11 years of professional experience to develop a unique lesson plan for you and your goals.

Did you ever want to learn basic Photoshop to edit your own family, vacation, business, or social media photos but felt too overwhelmed to learn from scratch? Perhaps you might even want to improve the quality of your thumbnails on You Tube?

If any of the above examples apply to you, then I can help! I am an editor for a vacation vlog and a gaming channel on You Tube. I also cut demo reels and edit my own photography. I can offer beginner/intermediate Photoshop tutorials, walking you through removing unwanted background objects, adding eye-catching text, basic color correcting, etc. All ages welcome. Lessons are customized and catered to the needs/goals of each student. You will have a functional knowledge of Photoshop in no time! (*For my lessons, I use Photoshop Elements 14, a less complicated version of Photoshop Pro.)

I am currently the Visual Arts Teacher as well as the Director of Advisory at Northside Charter High School in Brooklyn, NY. I have helped develop the school’s culture significantly over the past five years I have been there.

My mission at Northside Charter High School was to create a curriculum that shows our students that their presence is essential to the ever-changing arts community. This led to creating the curriculum for Northside Television, which is Northside's first web-based school news network. NTV has grown to become a staple in Northside’s community and has brought about positive changes to the culture of the school. My master's thesis based on this course entitled, “Media Production and its Role in Preparing High School Students to be 21st Century Learners”, provides data on how our program has brought new skill-sets to the senior cohort. Students of all backgrounds are on the screen and are representing their community, their ideals, and their concerns.
