I could tell that she had an excellent understanding of Photoshop, because she presented it in a way that helped me understand the program. Some teachers just give you the steps, Melody explained how the program works and made using it much more intuitive than prior teachers. She also allowed me the time to take meaningful notes, so that I have something to refer to in my own words in case I don't remember something about the program. She has a background in photography and education, so if you are a photographer, she is the teacher you need in NYC!

With only 3 lessons up my sleeve so far, Melody has given me the knowledge and confidence that I lacked prior to her tutoring lessons. Her invaluable skill, knowledge, and passion for photography shows in every lesson I've had with her. She's also a master at Photoshop. So if you're looking to understand or improve your Photoshop skills, then she's the go-to person. She's punctual and very responsive with email. I look forward to continuing photography lessons with Melody and also look forward to sharing and showing her my improved photos every week.

I had my first session with Melody using Adobe Photoshop CS6. We discussed my interests my background experience with Photoshop and what it was I was interested in learning. From this point, we went on to explore the different features of the program organization of my photos, different formats jpeg, raw, and psd. We even did some touching up of photographs. The 3 hour session flew by. I'm looking forward to my next session, which I have scheduled. This lady has a lot of experience and can put it across in a way the novice like myself can learn. I am very satisfying lesson, and I'm looking forward to learning more. Photoshop is an amazing versatile program!
