About the Tutorials

We offer private tutorials which are one-on-one instruction for those who cannot make it to regularly scheduled classes, want this type of intensive and intimate learning experience or need instruction of a more advanced nature not available in our regularly scheduled classes.

Tutorials are specifically designed for individual students, reflecting the special needs, experience level, interests and time frame available to her or him.

Generally, the basic flat top construction course, which takes 96 hours over twelve days, can be covered in a tutorial in about 60 hours over seven days. Because of the intimate and intensive nature of the tutorial, more subjects can be covered in the tutorial than the class.
