Private in-person workshops are great for customizing classes to your schedule and specific subject. Get a group together and host a class! I have taught in dining rooms, classrooms, private conference rooms in hotels, and halls. These workshops make great team building exercises as well.
Private one-on-one classes are also a great way to learn and drill down specifically to your interests in your own time.

My teaching setup is self contained with a 32” monitor with stand, document camera, table, and all demonstration supplies. I bring scissors, hands free hoops, and design tools for students to use. Kits will be supplied as needed. All I need is an electric outlet and a chair.
