Here are some of the testimonials relating to my tutoring abilities:
"Having the pleasure of taken a course previously from Manuel Gaetán, I knew I would leave with a wealth of information . . . and I did. Through his presentations & concrete examples I was able to be much more productive in Photoshop. His passion for photography is clearly evident in his photos and instruction as well. I would highly recommend Dr. Gaetán as an instructor/consultant."

Thank you so much for another great educational experience. So much practice to be done but with such good direction that I am sure it will be somewhat easier. The learning curve is a challenge but the foundation has begun. I know that I speak for several others when I tell you how much we appreciated your time!
I am enjoying the class tremendously. We are very pleased to be taught by someone who has so much knowledge and experience from traveling. The pace is good… Sandy
Manny is an excellent, very knowledgeable teacher…Sharon
The accomplishments that mean the most to me are the ones achieved by my students as a result of my photography tutoring. Several have gone on to become professional photographers such as Jenna Reese and Charlie Mather. (See Home page.)

This class gave me the confidence to make the move from an amateur photographer of my kids sporting events to offering my sports photography services as a business. Manny was very helpful, teaching me some basics that I had never learned, discussing composition and instructing me on Photoshop. He continues to be available to answer questions as needed. I would recommend this class, whether you are a beginner in need of the basics, or an advanced photographer looking to increase your skills.
