The process of learning 1-on-1 with a live tutor lets you actively participate in the learning. You can immediately repeat a concept in your own words, ask clarifying questions, or demonstrate a concept back to your tutor to ensure understanding.
Save time and resources by learning from the comfort of your home. Avoid commuting expenses and focus on learning only the tools you need with personalized lessons tailored to your specific workflow.
No need to take notes! We record your lessons so you can replay them at your own pace later. Keep these recordings for future reference and reinforce your learning whenever needed.
Learning with a dedicated tutor makes the experience enjoyable and interactive. Discuss problems, practice together, and enjoy the human conversational element that brings life to online learning. Reach out anytime you need assistance!
Professionals these days are sitting alone and staring at their computers. They spend years searching online for tools that will increase their workplace efficiency. They hunt through forums and watch lengthy videos, trying to find the right pieces of information.
Sometimes they just have one small question that would take a person two minutes to answer, but customer support lines are a thing of the past. Big companies will direct you to an FAQ that will hardly begin to answer your question.
We strive to bring human connection back to the work environment. Our tutors work directly with you to solve your problems, similar to the way an apprentice works hand-in-hand with a skilled professional.
Screen-share technologies like Zoom have allowed us to work together in real time. We can see each others' screens and cursors. We can switch from one screen to another to easily share information. We can even turn on our webcam for a more human interaction.
Sometimes our clients want to learn a program from beginning to end; sometimes they completely hand over the services to us; and other times, they want something in between.
Some clients want to be able to use the program on a basic level and let us do the hard stuff. Others want to co-work with us, supervising our work to ensure their artistic vision is realized. Along the way, they may learn some tools of the trade.
By the end of the process, some clients are able to wean themselves completely off of our services and are empowered to do the work themselves. If they get stuck or behind on a deadline, they use us as a lifeline. They can call anytime—even if it’s just a 10-minute question—we are here to help.
