Teach by doing - i.e., if you don't do, you won't learn : : have developed many, many WYSIWYG PDF teaching documents for AutoCAD, SketchUp, Furniture Design, Materials, Lighting and others. A major part of my teaching career (25+ years) was spent with students whose first language was not English. In my last teaching position (4 years) 95% of my students were from China. Ex-students of mine live and work in Milan, Amman, Beirut, Hong Kong, China, India and other countries/cities. My teaching process is based on logic and task accomplishment. A subject such as AutoCAD or SketchUp is a skills-based environment, a cumulative progression built on knowledge and application of prerequisite comprehension and capability.

Perfect! Micheal has good communication skills. He effectively gives clear and concise lecture. His knowledge in interior design is very diverse and I plan to tap on it. His patience is quiet admirable as well.

I liked that - and she listens well - very important

It's simple really! Because he always has your back! When he is hardest on you, it is because he believes in you so much, so the harder he is the more faith he has in you!
He also has such a wealth of information from all of his vast experience in commercial and residential design. His standards are high, he knows a multitude of programmes and he really should be running a mega hotel project somewhere, but he loves his home in Montreal and he LOVES teaching!
So, take advantage of this incredible man's teaching. You will learn SO much!Michael is a teacher with a big heart! He was my teacher at the International Academy of Design & Technology in Montreal in 2005/2006. We stayed in touch and worked together on several residential and commercial projects. Michael is like a walking encyclopedia of design and architecture, always up to date with the latest software, and never ceases to learn, explore and create. When he teaches, you get the full package, way beyond the technical aspects. He wants you to succeed and will support you in any way he can. His generosity along with his sense of humor will make you realize that this learning process can actually be fun!
Michael Moore, who was my teacher in Interior Design. It was my true honor to be his student. Michael has a very high standard of work, and he is the pro. I am highly recommend him.
Michael Moore taught me an Interior design class back in 2004 and we’ve worked together several times since. Michael was a great teacher and is still my mentor. I’ve learned so much from him. He is supportive, patient, and multi-talented. I highly recommend him.
Michael is an award-winning, extremely experienced Canadian interior designer, and as professional, he has a very high-standard to look at the work. His detail-oriented attitude also help push his students to come out with professional works.
He was my teacher at interior design school. He was always passionate to the all student.
I could get the best knowledge about interior design.
Now I'm working as a designer and everyday my work is full of his teaching. (design sense, practical program..etc)
He is keen and up in design.
One more thing! He is FUNNY!
It's been almost 20 years and Micheal's teachings are with me everyday, everywhere I work, wether it's graphic design, photography, marketing or web design.
I can't recommend enough this incredible man, which became a true friend and the most valuable teacher I have ever had.Michael is truly one of a kind! He is not only a dedicated and inspiring mentor but a true example of limitless source of curiosity and hard work to keep expanding his knowledge to provide his students the most updated tools to succeed not only as professionals but in any area of their lives. His eye of excellence is undeniable but his dedication to motivate his students to achieve their potential is remarkable. I'm very blessed to have had him as my teacher and up to this day as my mentor.

Details
• $21.00/hour is a Spring special • reduced from $40/hr • Given the lockdown realities of the past months I have decided to 'give back' to new students. As a professional interior designer, my 'billable hourly rate' is well into the three figures. But I believe in efficiency in teaching - and if both the student and I find ourselves 'on the same page' regarding values and expectations, then I believe I can make my efforts financially viable..... - I am an EXCELLENT teacher, but I will not support time-wasting techniques.
