but you feel like you got some blind spots here and there and you would like them to get cleared up, then you are right - our standard courses aren't for you. What is the point of learning that, what you already know? So here is what we suggest instead.
Plan of action:
If you already have some experience
- We arrange a free 1-on-1 video call.
- You describe us in meticulous detail all of your struggles and doubts, showing us some of your work so we could analyze it all.
- As a result we offer you a tailor-made course, which addresses all of your personal concerns.
- If you decide that it works for you — you can freely edit the curriculum to your liking and move on to out first lesson together.
*everything described in the plan above is on us, so there are no hidden fees or charges
