She was very knowledgeable about whatever I needed help with and really created a clean final product. For example, before we even started the lesson she contacted me with a plethora of tips and tricks to prepare for the session so we would start the animation ASAP. She also has very flexible timings so scheduling a session with her should be no issue. Overall, if you need help with your animation anywhere from the range of high school to even college, she will be able to help you studiously.
