She is very experience and she explained very well ,I enjoyed my class with her.
I'm a Dutch language tudor in Brussels and have teached kids, teens, refugees, politicians and others who want to learn more about this language. I'm interested in many subjects and will customize the classes to your needs. And will help you learn and speak Dutch in a fun, practical way. Homework and extra information on request, focus is on speech! And grammar is additional. All levels. Note: I'm from the Netherlands, so I don't speak Flemish! But for most people that's not a problem.
Always wanted to learn how to draw by hand? I'll take you step-by-step through the art of drawing. We will work in Black & White with materials you can find at home. No experience needed or expensive materials. We look at examples in art history and drawing techniques will be explained. You will be working on different exercises and it will be fun. Also for more experienced students, this is an excellent course: you will be surprised by what you can learn! Module 1 = 10 classes (45 min)
This class is suitable for (absolute) beginners, mediate users or advanced users of Illustrator. I will customize all classes to your level and objectives so you'll learn all you need in a short time, compared to groups lessons who have a more generic approach. If you work on a marketing department and just want to learn basics or you are a graphic designer and want to learn more tips/tricks or you're just interested and want to refresh your knowledge. All is possible, drop me a line and I'm sure we'll find the right approach for you!
