Do you want to learn the basics of drawing? Or are you already past that level? Do you want to draw on paper (with pencils) or on a screen? Do you want to learn the basics of 2D animation? All for a very reasonable price? We can do it! Nice to meet you, I'm Daniel. I'm a (private) art teacher, I'm also a freelance artist and have been working as one for about 7 years. I'm looking for students in Utrecht, I have a teaching space available in my apartment (I can share my address when you contact me), but am also able to travel to your desired space within the city. I can also teach via webcam, but I do recommend my in-person classes, seeing as they're more immersive and educational. I unfortunately do not speak Dutch (yet), but am confident we can overcome any potential language barrier we come across. I have the most experience in teaching teenagers and preteens, so I think we would definitely be a good match if you're a parent or guardian looking for a teacher for your child. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask.

Hello everyone ! Use 2 fingers to type a document or something else? this keystroke will consume you a lot of time! The typing course that I propose will allow you to acquire a certain speed of typing without looking at the keyboard, because your fingers will recognize, by default, their places on the keyboard. Do not waste time, learn to type quickly for your use!

As a multidisciplinary artist, I believe that strong digital work is rooted in traditional mastery. This course combines the tactile logic of oil painting and watercolors with the power of Photoshop and digital design. We begin with the core fundamentals, anatomy, still life, and composition before transitioning those skills into the digital space. You will learn to control digital brushes, build convincing lighting, and apply color with intention. We move beyond simple tutorials to tackle character design, surreal environments, and professional workflows. By the end of this course, you will have a body of polished, original work and a deep understanding of the design fundamentals that make an image successful in any medium. you’ll produce portfolio-ready artworks and understand a professional workflow from sketch to finish. Each session combines hands-on exercises with discussion of artistic choices, so you strengthen both technical skill and creative judgment. This course is for beginners and intermediate artists who want to go beyond tutorials and actually build a body of polished, original work.

Graduated with a master's degree in human sciences, writing and bibliographic research were an integral part of my five years of study. From there, I wish to transmit my knowledge and my strategies to all those interested in this perspective. Each person having their own background, the first course aims to determine what are the short and long-term objectives, what are the student's abilities and difficulties and what are the sources of motivation for learning. When all of this has been discerned together, a course is mapped out to the final destination which is the achievement of the student's goals.

I am a certified communication scientist (WO, MSc.) who teaches computational data analysis methods in SPSS, Python, R and thesis supervision. During the lessons we can cover the basics of computational methods or data analysis. I can also help you gain a better understanding of the data structure, design a questionnaire in QUALTRICS (or similar program), or collect data together with you. We can do this in the programs Python, R or SPSS. I am also an expert in supervising theses. I give lessons of one hour as standard, but these can be longer if desired. If you are looking for guidance for a longer period, I can offer you a package where you get a discount on my hourly rate. I have experience teaching computational data analysis and machine learning at university and college level. I myself have a research master's degree in communication sciences.

I am a UX designer who has been using Figma every day in a professional context for 7 years. Figma is widely used in the UX and UI design community, and is therefore an advantage for anyone interested in these professions. The software allows you to design web interfaces, create graphic palettes, and build prototypes. It also allows you to create icons, illustrations, and websites without writing a single line of code. During the course we will see what you expect from Figma and I will adapt the course to bring you maximum value.

C++ language is a superset of the ‘C’ language and was initially known as “C with Classes”. In "C" operator ++ is used to increment the value by 1. That means to the language ‘C’, developers have added some extra features (Object Oriented Programming) and hence named as C++. This Object Oriented concept reduces the complexity in programming and it is easier to identify and resolve any error in the program. I'll be starting from the scratch thereby strengthening your concepts and helping you to master this language. I am providing you a brief summary of our course which we generally follow but that doesn't mean that I am bound to just this much content. In case you have any doubt for any other specific topic related to the subject, you could always come up to me or you need any help in your assignments or projects, you are always welcome. Here is a brief summary of our course : • How C++ differs from C • Variables Declaration • Function overloading • Optional Parameters • Reference Variables • Operator overloading • Basics of Console Input and Output • Constant Pointers • Dynamic Memory Allocation • Overview of OOPs Principles • Introduction to classes & objects • Creation & destruction of objects • Data Members • Member Functions • this Pointer • Constructor &Destructor • Static class member • Friend class and functions • Namespace • Types of Inheritance • Down casting and up casting • Function overriding • Virtual functions • Destructor overriding • What is Polymorphism • Pure virtual functions • Virtual Base Class • File Stream • Text File Handling • Binary File Handling • Error handling during file operations • Overloading << and >> operators • Exception Handling • Templates Apart from these , we'll be covering basic concepts of "if - else statement" "for, while and do-while loops" In case you have any query, feel free to contact me Give yourself a chance for a better future All the best

Today, you can create an animated film from start to finish from home without depending on others. My methodology is based on this idea and it works! The only prerequisites to follow my training: open-mindedness, super-motivation and being ready to spend long hours drawing behind your computer/tablet independently. My animation style is based on frame by frame: that is, all character animations are drawn frame by frame. If you love anime (Japanese cartoons), look no further, I'm your man! Beginners are welcome, as are intermediate artists who would like to explore an alternative approach to that of animation studios (freelancers, students who wish to pursue their passions on the side). For animation, I prefer to start classes from age 12. (For young people who want to learn illustration, it is possible to take lessons with me from the age of 7.) We will look at the different stages: - Introduction (scriptwriting/storyboarding/cinematics for intermediate levels) - Creation (voice/music insertion/backgrounds/animation) - Finalization (post-compositing/audio and video effects) For the moment, I can only offer lessons at your home (Laeken/Brussels). The good news is that you don't need to invest in any computer equipment. I have everything I need at home. Programs: Clip Studio Paint, Photoshop, After Effects and Auditiion. (Clip Studio can be replaced with Toon Boom Harmony, Adobe Animate or TV-Paint if necessary) Personally, I think it's more productive to take at least 90 minutes per session, but I leave that up to you.

I offer creative lessons tailored to your needs and preferences. These can cover drawing and painting techniques, but also other materials like clay or digital tools (think digital art on the iPad). Together, we'll explore your current level, what skills you'd like to learn, and establish a goal to guide the lesson content. Especially if you're saying, "Yes, but I'm not really that creative," or "Yes, but I'm not very good at drawing," I'd love to take on the challenge with you!
