Review by Christine

"Julie is an excellent instructor! I am a beginner and knew nothing about my camera and she explained everything thoroughly. She is also teaching me how to

take pictures manually instead of using my automatic button function. I am looking forward to my next lesson with her."

"Ms.Goldenbaum has taught me numerous techniques and skills when it came to photography and art overall. She is patient, a team player and she really guide

s you to see more than art by itself. She has taught me that art is almost another language for people to express themselves freely. Through a camera lens too, you can capture more than just one picture because one picture can tell a story. Thank you Ms.Gold!"

I would highly recommend Tony Mitri as a voice and music instructor. My son takes lessons with Mr. Mitri and his progress has been astounding! He studies with other teachers previously without much success. My son has said he has learned more from Mr. Mitri than all of his previous instructors. He enjoys the lessons so he works harder at making progress and it shows. He helped him expand his range substantially, and increase his confidence. I would highly recommend him to anyone interested in music of any kind. Mr.Mitri is awesome professional, patient and extremely knowledgeable. You won’t be disappointed.

I'm a total novice and Blake is very patient and doesn't mind explaining things more than once. After one lesson, I feel like I can start putting what I learned to use already.

when I made an appointment, I asked if Sergey was familiar with my camera and they said yes. It seemed new to him. But after talking about my fijifilm x100F, I am returning the camera. So overall I did like Sergey and look forward to my next Hour

Sergey taught me about everything I had questions about and also offered suggestions in helping me to better determine the best way to find the career path that is right for me. Rather than hard and fast lessons, it was an opportunity to spend time, one on one, with a professional and learn from his experiences what works and what doesn't.

My first lesson with Christy was wonderful! The technology wasn't being the most cooperative, but she is an excellent teacher. My voice sounds so much better after just one lesson! Can't wait for the next one :)
