asked questions

See all FAQs

What is the First Lesson Guarantee?

Your first lesson is your chance to meet your new tutor and make sure they're the right fit for you. If for any reason you're not completely satisfied, we'll find you a different tutor for free. It's our way of ensuring you start your learning journey with confidence.

Do I need to own Adobe Illustrator before starting lessons?

Yes, you will need your own subscription to Adobe Illustrator. Your tutor can help you navigate the software, but you must have it installed on your computer. You can get a free trial from Adobe's website to start.

How much do Illustrator tutors charge?

Absolutely. Our tutors love working with beginners! They can start with the absolute basics, from understanding the interface to mastering fundamental tools like the Pen Tool, helping you build a strong foundation from your very first lesson.

Is a graphics tablet necessary for Illustrator lessons?

While a graphics tablet can be very helpful for illustration, it's not strictly necessary to get started, especially if you're focusing on logo design or typography. Many professionals use a mouse perfectly well. You can discuss with your tutor whether a tablet would be beneficial for your specific goals.
