What our students say about our teachers

I want to thank you for this amazing class! I learned so much that I can put to use right awayas well as things that I know I can use later. Your expertise was shared with such clarity and patience — you made the many tools feel so accessible. Watching you walk through the process was so helpful during class and especially when rewatching the steps afterwards — and your handouts are amazing!

—Grace (New York City)

Marina creates a warm, accepting and encouraging environment and pushes just enough. As a result, each student’s final work was very personal, from the heart.

—Lisa (New York City)

The class was a deep dive from our personal images and into ourselves and back again! I loved the class and I think all of the participants in this really incredible group did as well…. Teaching a course that involves individual needs as well as the personal creative process is delicate and really requires a great deal of understanding and flexibility; I thought Carlos was extremely sensitive in his approach, and I felt extremely fulfilled and self-aware by the last week of class.

—Glen (Toronto)

Bryan is a generous and attentive teacher, and he went to great effort to prepare multiple handouts full of resources. And he also had a nice way of framing the daunting task of getting organized.

—Denise (New York City)

Today, sadly, is the last of Kai’s B&W class — it has been great and he’s an excellent teacher. I rejuvenated some of my Photoshop skills which have been dormant and learned a lot.
