Why Learn on a 1:1 Basis?
Learning on a one-to-one basis offers numerous advantages over group courses. You’ll receive personalised attention, ensuring that guidance is tailored to your individual skill level and learning pace. With flexible scheduling, you can choose a date that fits your personal timetable. The focused learning environment means fewer distractions, allowing for more hands-on practice and a deeper understanding of the techniques. You’ll also have direct support throughout your learning experience, with immediate answers to your questions. Additionally, you can work on your own unique projects, with advice that aligns with your specific goals.
Personalised Learning and Pace
In my workshops, I prioritise ensuring that you learn at your own pace, focusing on techniques that align with your goals. I don’t rush students, as their experience is just as important as learning the technique. While most students complete the target number of lampshade styles for each course, this can sometimes change depending on their pace and prior experience. Midway through the day,we’ll review your progress and preferences. This allows me to tailor the remainder of the course to your specific needs, ensuring you have the time and support to master each technique with confidence.
