I tell every group the same thing on day one. I will correct you a hundred times this week, and that is what you are paying for.
How we teach
Demonstrate, do, correct, repeat.
One tutor for eight students
In practical sessions every group of sixteen has two tutors on the floor.
Correction at the chair
Tutors correct your hand while you work, not after. It feels slow for a week, then it feels fast.
Teaching on real skin and hair
Live models from week two or three, with medium to deep skin and textured hair as the everyday standard.
Feedback you keep
Written feedback after each module, attached to your portfolio photos.
