What our students say about our teachers

I would like to thank you for a great course! It’s really going to help me move my way forward, although I'm not ready yet to be able to publish a whole book. What made this great was the amount of effort, time and thought you put into it, especially given the short duration. I have enjoyed and learnt a lot from the two courses I have taken with you and I will keep my eye open on Studelmedia for other courses you may be giving.

Helena Goñi is an excellent instructor — knowledgeable, smart, supportive, and informed, with a wide knowledge of photography. I’ve enjoyed this class and would take another class with her.

—June (New Jersey)

Anja and Edward did a great job creating this class. I especially enjoyed the Hong Kong films featured in the class — they were new to me. I must say that the class made me think of films in a different way. It was strange to me that I reacted to the assignments as real challenges that made me quite nervous — a sure sign that the class was a true growth experience. I hope I can take another course with you someday down the road.

—Mike (California)

This is the first class | took with StrudelmediaLive — later I took their workshop on using InDesign to make a book or zine. Nothing’s been the same since!
The workshops expanded my photographic horizons 1000%.

—Bobby (Washington DC)

I can’t tell you how much I enjoyed taking the class with Elizabeth over the last several weeks. I think she did excellent job teaching — she was very professional and also very personal. I also appreciate that recordings are available after the fact, because there was a lot of information. I’m glad I can review it and make notes for myself. I would love to see Elizabeth teach another class on making more book structures — I know there are other things that she could teach us, and I’d be happy to sign up for another session. I’m so glad I stumbled on the StrudelmediaLive platform!
