Jo S. from Los Angeles, CA

Taylor worked well with my 9 year old boys, teaching them the basics of drawing their favorite toy figures.


Mimi F. from Los Angeles, CA

I learned so much about Photo Shop and Taylor was great about helping me with a current project so I could learn and do at the same time! The image we worked on turned out great and I think I retained quite a bit of the lesson!


Harlan S. from Los Angeles, CA

Taylor showed me how to work with my macbook better so I could input information into my business. He really wanted to help and show me things that makes working easier. I appreciated his calm knowledgeable demeanor. Thanks, Taylor!


Irma G. from Long Beach, CA

Taylor taught me the basics of Photoshop such as the tools and what they are used for, the purpose of layers, and a few other things. I like that he makes sure I understand what he's teaching and is very patient. I look forward to our next session and would recommend him.


Jen B. from Venice, CA

Just had my first lesson with Taylor. Totally impressed and delighted, and looking forward to working with him more. I have a deep background in art and design, but lack the technical skills to do what I now want to do, and Taylor is a wealth of knowledge about digital painting/drawing, Photoshop, and hand-done gouache painting. And likely far more, but that's what I wanted from him. Lucked out on my first time here!


Jennifer B. from Seal Beach, CA

Taylor has begun helping me with learning Photoshop. I thought it would be too hard to understand, but he has a lot of patience and a way of explaining it so it's not overwhelming.


Alex B. from Frisco, TX

Helped me grasp and focus on the important aspects of drawing. I tend to make small steps and he was considerate and helped me take them.


Monica V. from Pasadena, CA

This was my first time using Illustrator. I am also not very tech savvy. Thankfully, Taylor was patient, answered my dumb questions, and taught me how to edit, fit photos, and understand the layers of Illustrator through a design project. I recommend Taylor for anyone at any level who wants to learn Illustrator for professional purposes and/or for personal creative projects.


Arielle L. from Los Angeles, CA

I recently had my first Adobe Photoshop lesson with Taylor and not impressed or satisfied. Don't let the amazing reviews fool you! As we connected over email, I told him to bring a lesson plan for the our first 2 hour lesson and a cheat sheet for all of the hot keys as I am a beginner. When he arrived to my home, he didn't bring anything, which was alarming. He kept asking me what projects I am working on. I said I am not a graphic designer, so I have no projects I am currently working on -- I just want to learn the basics and happen to have the program on my work computer. I kept having to think of things I wanted to learn in order to pass the time. While he is very knowledgable in the subject, he didn't have a clear focus when instructing, which ending up being super frusterating. Overall, I did not learn much.


Roxanne M. from Encino, CA

I needed to learn how to use the pen tool and paths in Photoshop and Taylor is helping me navigate this program...thank goodness!


Kimberly L. from Pacific Palisades, CA

He taught my son computer science he made it fun and interesting we will def use him again Punctual nice calm demeanor and made the subject fun


Kate K. from Los Angeles, CA

Taylor helped with a design project using Photoshop and Sketch-up. He was very patient as I am a total beginner with Sketch-up. His rendering skills are amazing!


Lynda C. from Pacific Palisades, CA

Taylor sent a reminder about the appointment, showed up on time, and got my kid working! It was a great start.


Mina Y. from Los Angeles, CA

Taylor is a great tutor! He is patient, and knowledgable. It's probably best to go into the lesson knowing exactly what you want to learn, and telling him in advance. That's when we get the most done!


Dana W. from Brooklyn, WI

Taylor was very patient and helpful. He answered all of my questions and was very knowledgeable about the subject. I would definitely recommend him as a tutor.


LeDon M. from The Colony, TX

Made it easy to learn what I needed. I had questions ready and he answered all of them and showed me how to apply each one.
