Sir Fon's teaching strategy works well for a beginner like me. Everything is simply explained and is executed well. Whenever I have questions he tries his best to explain things plainly. He's full of patience, by the way. He also gives great tips and techniques when designing. I think what makes my learning experience under Sir Fon standout is the way he shares both his good and bad practices when he was still starting his career as a designer.
