The Power of Canva

My Background and Experience
- With over 20 years of experience using design tools like Photoshop and Illustrator in my work as a photographer and graphic designer, I discovered Canva and was immediately impressed.
- For the past 11+ years, I’ve been a tutor at Sydney Community College, teaching design and editing classes.
- I also offer personalized lessons for individuals and corporate teams.

What is Canva?
Â
Canva is the world's most popular design platform, with over 170 million users! This shows how likely Canva is to be part of your child's education and a valuable design tool at home.
But Canva isn't just for graphic design. It's used for everything from documents and business presentations to websites, birthday invitations, printable and digital planners, social media content, and much more. The possibilities with Canva are endless.
Canva: Easy to Use?
You might hear that Canva is "easy to use." While it's simpler than tools like Adobe Photoshop or Illustrator, which require special training, Canva has its own challenges. Many users struggle because they expect it to be easy and find the numerous video tutorials on YouTube confusing.
Learning Foundational Skills
I've taught Canva to kids and adults, and I've discovered the key things that help make Canva easier to learn and more efficient.
My signature teaching approach focuses on these essential tools and functions. While the material may vary for different age groups, the core principles remain the same. Once you understand the basics, everything else falls into place.
Canva in the Classroom
Canva's capabilities, popularity, and accessibility make it a staple in primary and secondary school classes worldwide. By learning Canva's foundational skills now, your kids will get a head start, helping them adapt to new technologies in school and explore creative opportunities at home.
Accessible for Everyone
For this course, we use the free Canva subscription, accessible on computers, laptops, and tablets/iPads. This makes it easy for everyone to join in and start creating!
Coco – Illustrator Course
The learning material was tailored to our needs which was excellent. The tutor was highly efficient and helpful. Excellent tutorials.
These courses and workshops are not associated with nor representative of Canva. I've created it myself, using over 11 years of teaching Adobe and Canva to students, and seeing the ways I can help you best when you're learning.
