Hey Hozure,
Steve has a structural approach, same as Vilppu. That helps a lot if you're looking to learn how to paint stuff from memory or use as little as possible from your reference. While it's nothing wrong with using/copying your own reference, you might find situations where you just can't find the right one or you might want to change the pose a bit, and this is where all this structural knowledge comes into play.
I would say Steve and Vilppu are the most influential teachers I had the chance to learn from.
NMA is subscription based, so you'll have to pay 29$/month, it's not like you're taking one of his workshops where you could pay hundreds of dollars. So I suggest getting one month, look at all the videos you want and see for yourself.
I keep coming back to rewatch old videos because I get new knowledge every time.
You can also find sample videos on their youtube channel and even some older lectures from Steve.
Here's a 3h video on head drawing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2T7cDY7YDsg
It should help you get an idea.
