"Amazing Tutor. Learnt so much with Simon. Great enthusiasm and knowledge with illustrator. He made the whole process very engaging, which was more enjoyable. Simon was always eager to help and listen to any issues, he even was keen to look at some problems we have within graphics at work and offered solutions, which was great! The venue and location is great. I would love to do another course! Would recommend!"
