Rick

Steve Z. from Portland, OR

Rick is engaging and dedicated to teaching and getting across the information you seek. I recommend him to those that are serious about the learning process.

I am so glad I found Rick to tutor me in Illustrator. Rick is not only extremely knowledgeable in the program, but he is a natural teacher that is able to communicate clearly and concisely. We covered a lot of information in a short period of time. Rick was able to help me advance my skill in illustrator while showing me how to solve actual issues I was having with current projects. I definitely plan on hiring Rick again in the near future.

I set up some time with Rick to help me with a power-point presentation I was scheduled to present. He was very helpful in making me do the work and showing me what options I had available to me. I clearly hit a home run with the presentation at work, very much due to the assistance I received from Rick. He made sure I would learn how to use the program; he was not just a one hit wonder. Rick was also able to observe my skill set (which was minimal at best) and make suggestions to help facilitate my use of the computer as well as some of the more common software programs. I think the best compliment I can give Rick is that I actually do practice the exercises he gave me in my spare time at home, during lunch, or any free time I have with my computer. Thanks again, most professional!

Rick was exactly what I needed in a tutor. He gave me the foundation to figure problems out on my own, and the best part was he started out at a level I could understand. Though I wasn't a very efficient technology user, after working with Rick I feel a more certain of what I'm doing, and a lot less confused by a genre that used to baffle me. Rick taught me more in a few short two hour sessions than I learned combined from several Excel workshops. Rick's teaching style is patient, thorough, and generally easygoing. In this age of technology it is easy to forget that often the most effective means of learning doesn't come from a program, but from an actual human being.

I learned a lot in our two hour session, and I hope I remember it all. Our lesson made me acutely aware of the depth of Illustrator. Rick is knowledgeable and explains the lesson clearly. He made a real effort to connect the lesson to my work. He was patient and encouraging, which is important when you're learning a new skill.

Sherrie W. from Sandy, OR

Rick is a great tutor and easy to understand. He is very knowledgeable with Photoshop and patient. I would highly recommend him!

Amanda Y. from Troutdale, OR

I have been meeting with Rick 2-3 times a week for the last few weeks and I am very happy with his lessons. I look forward to our classes which are very fun and informative. Rick is always punctual and prepared but is comfortable straying from his planned lesson if that is warranted. I am picking up Illustrator quickly from him and look forward to learning other software from him, such as InDesign. I highly recommend Rick as a tutor if you are looking to learn Illustrator, Photoshop, or InDesign.

Rick was excellent. I asked him to review my Macintosh setup and utilization. He is very knowledgeable and very easy to work with. He answered all my questions and based on his understanding of my situation introduced me to some useful tools that I was not aware of. All my objectives were 100% met.

Kim C. from Portland, OR

Rick helped me fix some big flaws in my first DIY InDesign project. Such a pleasure to work with...very thorough. Will definitely use again for forward learning in Adobe and also Microsoft Office as needed.
