Kyle was an amazing tutor. I enjoyed working with him so much! He was kind, thoughtful, patient and great personality. Down to earth and genuinely wants to help you succeed. He helped me fix complex problems I had with figma that I could not figure out and gave me tips on best practices in using figma that made a huge difference in my productivity right away! Thank you Kyle for all your help! And for those reading this, if you have figma problems Kyle can help don't hesitate to ask for help from him I can guarantee he is a trusted valued tutor.

Kyle was a huge help in our tutoring session. He knows the software well and showed us many tricks to keep our files simple and organized. It was our first time opening the software and he made it feel useful and easy for the kind of projects we design. Thank you, Kyle. We will set up another session shortly.

I have worked with Kyle (and will continue to) on gaining foundational understanding of Figma, as well as other UX/UI concepts. I struggled with learning some specific things, and Kyle took the stress of "not getting it" away with his patience and uncomplicated explanations. He is very knowledgeable, very responsive to questions and setting up meeting times.

Kyle was very helpful in our first session. It was nice to be able to dive into the things that I was currently working on and learn some Figma shortcuts along the way
- Elliott L. from North Hollywood, CA
Kyle is incredibly knowledgeable about Figma. He answered all of my questions and provided comprehensive and insightful explanations. The lessons were well-structured, covering both the basics and advanced features of Figma. Also, Kyle is a very patient and positive person to interact with. I highly recommend taking Figma classes with Kyle. Thank you once again for your invaluable assistance!

Kyle walked me through using the Canva app to make a logo. I was stuck trying to navigate all the options on my own and he knew exactly what to do and make it easy. It took less than one hour and I got a complete overview of the range of artistic features available for logos.
- MARK C. from South Gate, CA
Kyle is extremely knowledgeable in Figma and helped streamline my project that I was working on. He is additionally patient and took the time to explain the reasoning behind the decision-making and helped me understanding some of Figma's nuances. Would highly recommend!
- Ryan D. from Boulder, CO
I recently had a tutoring session with Kyle, focusing on design work in Figma. Kyle's approach was efficient, as he quickly identified and addressed key issues in my project. He displayed a comprehensive understanding of Figma and shared helpful insights with immediate value. What I appreciated most was his patience and ability to quickly grasp the context of my work, making our session productive. His intuition and experience were evident and quite beneficial to me.
- Cody W. from Bend, OR
Kyle and I worked on a fairly in-depth Figma component problem where created a fully responsive local component (using Auto layout) to live within another library component 'Slot'. I learned so much and will learn more from this great teacher.
- Yvonne N. from Elmhurst, IL
Kyle has been an invaluable asset in my school design project. His thorough approach and expertise in design make him an ideal collaborator. He consistently comes well-prepared and meticulously takes notes during our sessions for future reference. His ability to explain instructions and complex concepts in a clear and accessible way is remarkable. Working with him has been a delightful experience, and I eagerly anticipate further honing my design skills under his guidance! Kyle's warm and encouraging personality enhances his exceptional teaching skills - I highly recommend him!

Kyle help me with a software design project. He was very patient and did not assume I knew anything. Which was great for me. He gave me the confidence I needed to complete my project.
- Kelleen D. from Orange, CA
Kyle has been helping me on a Figma project for an interaction design course and he has been so helpful! He has walked me through all the features and explained them in such an easy to understand way. At first i had no knowledge about how to use the app, now I feel confident to use it on my own! he is so patient and always brings the best attitude to our sessions :)
- Rayana D. from New York, NY
Kyle has been helping with everything I need in figma, from auto layout to design systems. He is patient and lets me do the work as he guides me which I prefer instead of just watching him. he also gives me good advice and feedback on my projects and career search!
- Amanda P. from Boston, MA
Kyle really is masterful at demystify and simplifying complex design concepts with patience. Our tutoring sessions were challenging because it required practical help applying a new design system to an existing project, on a deadline in Figma, while improving my theoretical and technical understanding, and Kyle managed to strike that balance perfectly. He helped me get a better grasp of auto layout, component modification, and prototype animation through a patient and methodical teaching approach, coupled with hands-on advice. Working with someone like Kyle was really inspiring and ignited even more passion for UX design. It?s what tutorship should be.
- Yves B. from Miami, FL
Kyle was exceptional. Knowledge, friendly, problem solver and can't say enough about his great communication prior in scheduling and during our time. Booking again.
- Rick C. from Los Angeles, CA
Kyle is excellent professor of Figma best practices knowledge. He's flexible and allows the student to select areas of Figma they'd like to focus during sessions. He makes complex Figma concepts easy to understand.
- Kelly H. from Bethesda, MD
I was panicked because I need to learn Figma to complete a UX Design program. Kyle was exactly what I had hoped for: a person who knows Figma from a UX perspective, but also someone who knows how to teach. As I requested, he went methodically through my UX project, answered my questions, and showed me how to create components, variants, etc. Then he messaged me with LOTS of resources! I will definitely call upon him for help again, and soon.
- Jen B. from Swampscott, MA
Friendly, patient, thorough, and knowledgeable. I learned everything I set out to learn. I'm glad I did it. Wow, it says I need 160 characters to submit this, which I don't know how long this needs to go--my goodness!
- Rodney H. from Scottsdale, AZ
Kyle has been tutoring my son in math and science and my son is very happy with Kyle's tutoring. He explains things thoroughly with patience and in detail. My sons academic performance has greatly improved.
- Christina R. from La Jolla, CA
Kyle H. worked with me on a User Research Task. He was a great help. He explained things clearly and broke everything down for me. Highly recommend!
