Inexpensive Video and Graphics Classes
for Mac OS X in Denver, Colorado!
Cheaper than the competition because it's B.Y.O.C.!
(Bring Your Own Computer!)
I now only teach classes on your request. I can teach or tutor one-on-one to medium sized groups at my location or yours. I teach out of my house with a room equipped with a dry-erase board, video projector and two computers of my own if you cannot provide your own. My ideal class size is three people.
Your options are:
- Approach it from a tutoring perspective rather than a class and only work on your needs and questions, rather than from a set curriculum ($40/hour)
- Simply schedule with me to take the course 1-on-1 ($450)
- Decide on a future date and post it to the website to try and attract another student to lower your costs ($250 each for two students, $180 each for three)
I am including some old schedules to give you an idea of my teaching structure, time, and money.
