Exceptional Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop Tutor!

Dennis is incredibly patient and kind. He was flexible with scheduling and very responsive to my questions. His Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop explanations are very clear and he customized my lesson to help make efficient use of our time. He gave me an astute assessment of my project goals and is helping to simply the steps for me since I am a complete beginner. Dennis definitely stands out among other specialists I have worked with. He will continue to be my go-to person -

Good Lesson.

I found this lesson to be a good starting point for complete beginners like myself! I definitely learned a lot about the basics of Illustrator, and the tutor was patient and encouraging throughout. However, I felt like there was room for more depth and advanced techniques. While the tutor clearly had a good understanding of the software, they was a gap in providing guidance for more complex topics. One specific topic I was interested in exploring was creating a heart shape and adding text that aligns to it. Unfortunately, when I asked the instructor for guidance, they weren't fully prepared to address it, despite sharing the relevant material beforehand. Overall, the lesson provided a good introduction to Illustrator basics. However, to enhance the experience for future students, I believe ensuring deeper dives into specific topics upon request and being fully prepared based on pre-shared materials would be beneficial.

Great Tutor, straight to the point. Knowledgeable about packaging design

Dennis was a great tutor. Would definitely hire again! He is very knowledgeable with packaging design and was able to get through the basics needed to prep a design for printing.

Twin, 1 lesson with Dennis

Knowledgeable

Dennis knows his stuff, unfortunately illustrator was not the right tool for what I wanted to achieve. Dennis cut the lesson down to a half hour for me which was really cool of him. Super nice guy very easy to understand.
