What you get
You are not purchasing a video, you are purchasing a live interaction with two working illustrators online,
Each online course at TutorMill is taught by two professional, working illustrators. During the course, you will be able to upload your work and have it evaluated as the course proceeds. We guarantee you a written 250-300 word critique for every assignment from each of your two teachers. These teachers know their stuff. In fact, check out their profiles - we're talking the absolute cream of the crop of the biz.
When you register for a class at TutorMill, you will be the one deciding which teachers you wish to have. You will choose two from the available list.
You will also be deciding what day you would like the class to begin. During the registration process, you will be asked to determine a start date. You will be able to pick any day, two days from today, and up to two weeks after that for your class to start. The cool thing is that once you've completed the easy registration process, you don't have to worry about it ever again. You're in the system and if the moment strikes you at any time, anywhere in the world, simply log in and sign up for a course. Easy breezy.
Yes you can get your money back
If you sign up for Fictional Book Jacket Covers but decide to drop this class before it's started, you'll get a 100% refund. If you're dissatisfied for any reason after the course has begun, before completion of the first assignment, you'll receive a 75% refund, no questions asked. After that, there are no refunds—sorry.
If for some reason one of the teachers you choose goes off their rocker, is thrown in jail, or simply does not show up for you for one strange reason of another (hasn't happened yet), you will get 100% of your money back no matter what.
