The courses are structured around three lesson blocks lasting one hour and scheduled at regular intervals—usually once a week or every other week. I've found this interval and session length to be the best for you to absorb and practice the editing techniques from the previous lesson and then quickly advance to the more advanced editing methods.

For students just beginning their photographic journey or transitioning to digital workflows, the first few lessons focus around getting familiar with the Photoshop and RAW Developer interfaces, and critical digital editing concepts like file types, input and output resolutions for print or web, bit-depth, and basic image adjustment methods using layers and masks. Then we dive a little deeper into evaluating images and advanced editing workflows. 

In later lessons, introduce my approach working on different kinds of images, using examples of my work and files you provide, with emphasis on detailed aspects of using adjustment layers and layer masks in ways that emulate some of the techniques from the traditional darkroom. Future lessons might focus on any questions or problems with specific editing situations you may have.

This series of lessons can go on as long as necessary, but my goal isn't to just show students a set of presets or standard series of workflows, nor make this a long-term endeavor. The idea of this one-on-one course is to establish a framework for how to evaluate and edit your images based on your aesthetic and photographic influences, to exacting standards in print quality.

Since this is more of an approach to digital black and white editing, it doesn't exactly matter what equipment you already own or how you made your previous pictures.
