Looking back at my life, photography runs in my blood. My family members are all professional photographers, and it was photography which kept our family alive for more than two decades.

It is a big risk to conceptualize the business of combining both teaching and photography. But of course, the marriage of these two passions makes a lot of sense.
Whenever I teach English classes, some of my students notice how carried away I get especially whenever I talk about stories. I feel the same way with photography. Pictures are frozen moments--a collection of photos weaves a story. And I have always wanted to pass on and discuss stories.
What's your story? Let me help you see it with YOUR OWN CAMERA.

Hereunder is the schedule of the classes so far. Please take note of the time, the venue, and the type of tutorial. I will appreciate it if you guys will just join an available class because it's fun to learn with other persons. (I had students who found really good photo buddies through my classes ;) The maximum number of students for every lesson is 10 (except the Editing classes, where the maximum is 8).
Classes may be cancelled and/or rescheduled by the teacher but with prior notice--due to weather, conflict with schedule, etc.
If the class is still Free (or is not reserved yet), you have the option to ask for another type of class to replace that ESPECIALLY if three or more students will go with you in that class.
PAY-IN-PERSON reservations MAY get cancelled if there will be 6-10 registrants who will pre-pay their fees. I highly encourage you to pre-pay your fees--it's cheaper and your slot will definitely be reserved.
