What I Tutor
Art & Design
Build a strong creative foundation through drawing, composition, color theory, and visual problem solving (the core skills every artist and designer relies on).
Digital Design
Learn professional, screen-based design using industry-standard software and workflows, from concept to finished digital artwork.
Graphic Design
Master layout, typography, branding, logos, posters, and visual communication for both print and digital projects.
Animation
Explore the principles of motion, character animation, and motion graphics, and bring static ideas to life with movement and timing.
Stop Motion Animation
Get hands-on with frame-by-frame stop motion animation; planning, shooting, and editing original animated stories from start to finish.
Video Editing
Develop real post-production skills: cutting, pacing, sound, transitions, and color, to turn raw footage into polished, professional video.
CGI & 3D
Dive into computer-generated imagery, 3D modeling, and rendering to create dynamic digital scenes, characters, and visual effects.
Photography
Learn the fundamentals of photography such as composition, lighting, camera settings, and editing.
Tutoring for All Grade Levels
I work with elementary, middle school, high school, and college students, adapting each lesson to the learner in front of me. Younger students build confidence and creativity through fun, hands-on projects, while older and more advanced students can focus on technical skill-building, college portfolio preparation, and professional-level work in graphic design, animation, video editing, CGI, and photography.
