LEARNING WITH ME

(IF YOU HAVE ANY ISSUES USING PAYPAL EMAIL ME bettysbeautifullife@gmail.com)

I love sharing my knowlege and I believe the best way of progressing for a tutor is to share and discover new questions, avenues for experiments and learning opportunities. For that reason I have set up a number of workshop in my Studio in Glasgow but also online both using Live sessions on Zoom or Self paced for those who prefer working at their own pace.

FaQ:

What if I miss an online session:

All my sessions are recorded and shared for review for several months.

What if I cant attend a workshop:

All bookings are final but I will try as much as I can to offer you a space in the next session.

What if I want to work in my own pace:

I offer some self paced workshops and some with live options. You have to decide if you want to conform for a time for the live sessions or just plod along at your own pace… The price reflects the lack of live sessions.

How long can I keep the tuition:

Usually for “ever” as long as you keep the accessing details,

How do I speak to you if I am stuck:

I set up a FB page for all queries and we interact in it together with all the other pupils.

To book a space select your workshop and make a payment. You will receive a receipt and within a day or so a confirmation of your space. I am afraid that I am not able to offer refunds on online workshops but I will always try and offer you a space at an alternative date if your circumstances prevent you to complete a workshop on have committed to.
