Happy Camper Reviews

Paul the tutor was a consummate Photography teacher. He had an infectious enthusiasm that said that he enjoyed the subject matter and had a way of connecting with us students that surpasses my experience & expectations. He knew the subject very well and had taken time to plan its delivery at the right pace up to 4pm on Friday.
Paul was an excellent tutor. I had no idea at all about Lightroom Classic but needed to learn as much as I could but struggled with it a bit, so it was hard work more than loving it. However, I now have the ability to find my way around Lightroom Classic and fix photos.
Paul is an absolute fantastic tutor. He was extremely well prepared, knew his subject inside out, the course was well structured. Paul was very patient. He was passionate and motivational. To be honest I find it hard to imagine there being a better teacher anywhere in Australia. I really didn't expect the teacher to be so good. I knew nothing about my camera but now know so much!
