All students will eventually present their videos to demonstrate their own unique editing skills. They will be uploading their videos to our discussion area.

Teacher expertise and credentials

🚩As of January 21, 2025 I will be taking a break from teaching.🚩

Welcome! My name is Simon Tse and I can't wait to have you in class. The classes that I will be teaching are focused on movie making and video editing. I have a bachelor’s degree from DeVry University. I majored in network and communications management. Before I became a teacher, I was working as a technology mentor to students at a Catholic school. I started teaching computer skills, video editing skills, and audio editing skills to many students. I believe that students will learn when they are challenged and having fun at the same time. I am very patient, and I will always help my students when they are having trouble during 
the lessons. 

In 2020, I started my own YouTube channel about technology and it has continued to grow with a strong community of viewers.

When I have spare time, I like to do many things. I like to watch movies, read comic books, take an archery class, and play basketball. I also love going to comic book conventions! I’m looking forward to meeting you.
