1 – PRIVATE COURSE
Introduction
A 3 hours class is a minimal for a beginner to really master his/her camera and to answer to main difficulties (blurry or too bright, too dark images).
A 2 x 3 hours course is minimal for a beginner to really master his/her camera, to answer to main difficulties, and to be able to take the right decision in front of different type of subjects (sport, portrait, landscape…) and situations (indoor, outdoor).
Private Classes Rate
For sure, the hourly rate is higher than my usual 9 weeks / 25h Group program, but the 1 by 1 (or small group) figure helps to compress the time by only dealing with topics that matter to you the most, adjusting the content of the class for you to save time (and money).
If You can concentrate your participation during a weekday (2 x 3 hours), I can easily set up my schedule for it and give you a discount, as follow :
2h = 750 RMB / 3h =1100 RMB / 4h = 1450 RMB / 5h = 1800 RMB / 6h = 2150 RMB.
– Example: 1 day 3 hours morning Class + 1 hours= lunch break + 3 hours shooting walk in the afternoon = 2150 RMB (instead of 2400 RMB)
(As many companies are offering budget for their employee’s training, we can produce Fapiao if you need so, but there is 5% tax increment n the total price)
To divide the cost, for this individual price you are welcome to invite one friend, who is willing to learn the same subjects for free. This is a great formula for couples, mates or colleagues.
If you want to share your class with 2 people or more, we will discuss the overall rate.
Sample Program (2 x 6 Hours program)
To save cost, you can just pick up the topic you like the most…
