I teach you by giving you hands on task. The teori is stored in the task. And pops when we need to do something we want. That's fast learning very suitable for online training.
I'm a Danish designer and photographer living in Copenhagen, Denmark. I'm Adobe Certified Instructor (ACI). I've taught students and professionals since 2003. They all now know how to make it the easy way in Adobe Software.
I know a lot of dirty tricks, due to my extensive design experience. And I know how to smack it together when a tight deadline show teeth. Because I'm not just a teacher. I'm also a professional designer.
All things may change and will change during time. That's why structure is crucial. With a proper and tight structure you will always make reviews and changes with a smile. I have that in mind when I teach you. I like to share.
My design style is Scandinavian but sometimes I travel (design wise).

By Erica Theis

The teacher really understands how InDesign "thinks". He gives good instructions for doing things the most efficient way, according to the parameters of the project. Then he'll tell you what common mistakes new users will likely make, which really helps speed up the learning curve.

By Jesse Jones

Clear guides, covers the essential and most important aspects. Includes great tips about profile set ups, with clear explanations of why the use specific settings. The only thing that I felt was missing was a chapter on interactive PDFs, but that topic may not qualify as an 'Introductory' topic.
