Testimonials
“Mara Sachs is one of the BEST instructors that I have ever had the privilege to learn from. She is patient, knows the product at the expert level but can explain it at the novice level, and is extremely pleasant. Mara has a great sense of how to steer the class and provides excellent ‘real world’ tips that will help prevent mistakes or making unnecessary steps on assignments. It was a joy to be in Mara’s Photoshop class and I would absolutely take another of her classes.”
“Mara was a wonderful teacher and a lovely person. It was very clear that she was there for her students. She remarkably covered a lot of ground in a very short period of time, communicated it all very clearly and was extremely helpful answering questions.”
“A true experienced professional with the patience of a saint; articulate and energetic; super friendly. Would happily take any other classes she instructs.”
“I’ve worked closely with Mara for the past 8 years and I can personally testify to her advanced skill and knowledge. We work side by side as retouchers at a very high-end studio, and often work together on the same files. I’ve seen her work first hand and it is always up to the finest quality and technique. She is always exploring new ways to get the results we need. She is always 100% up-to-date on Photoshops’s new features and is our go-to person when anyone is stuck on a technical question. She can always get you unstuck! In addition, she has a most pleasant manner and is very comfortable to be with. I can see how her teaching skills would be most useful to anyone wanting Photoshop instruction and technique.”

“Mara Sachs was terrific. She knew her stuff, she knew her audience, and she stayed right on track with the aptly named title of her course. In addition, she took the time to prepare and print a comprehensive, detailed, and user-friendly hardcopy guide, so that we didn’t have to miss crucial information while trying to note down previous information.”
