About

What is GIMP? GIMP stands for GNU Image Manipulation Program. It is like Photoshop, but free and open source. 
In this short series, I'll teach you how to use some of the tools of GIMP (and some aspects of image manipulation in general), and each of us will create a project to present to the group. 
You'll need to have GIMP installed; download it here: https://www.gimp.org/downloads/
Alternatively, you can use the free and online Photopia: https://www.photopea.com/
which is similar. Note that I will be using GIMP, and it will be best if you can use it as well.

About the Tutor

Hi, I'm Erik. I am here to help you with Math - whether that is understanding a challenging concept, preparing for an exam, or working through homework problems. I've helped many students prepare for the SAT Math section, as well as in a variety of Math topics from classes ranging from Algebra 1 to Multivariable Calculus and Linear Algebra. I love learning about Math, Physics, and Computer Science, and enjoy helping others learn these subjects as well.
