Jay makes things happen!!
Micah, 7 lessons with JayI am very grateful to Jay for helping me with an animation class that I was required to take but had no experience with. Jay is really easy to talk to and work with and I was really impressed with his patience, skill, high standards, and creativity. I truly had no idea what I was doing, was very short on time, and was worried about passing my class. By the time Jay and I were done, I had an awesome animation video I could proudly turn in and some new Adobe skills! Thanks, Jay!
I enjoy sharing a vast knowledge of arts and technology and inspiring others to work above their ability. I have been teaching and designing curricula in STEAM related subjects since 2006 at my Animation Studio and other Maker Spaces, Schools and Libraries.
Autism Awareness! I am experienced with teaching to all ages and skill levels and can explain complex concepts for all students with patience and understanding.
My lessons use Storytelling and Animation as a means to learn STEM...

Micah, 7 lessons with JayTutor responded:Micah, thank you for this terrific review; it's greatly appreciated. My PATIENCE comes from working with young students, the SKILLS come from using this software for 30 years, the HIGH STANDARDS because I am a perfectionist and I expect my students to work above their ability and the CREATIVITY because I believe everyone has it within themselves to express their ideas with artistic storytelling tools. You truly stepped-up and met the challenge. Animation is a lot of work and you persevered. Congratulations!
great teacher
He’s a very good instructor. Explains things thoroughly. He makes concepts very easy to understand. He’s a very patient instructor.

Excellent Blender and FL Studio Tutor!
Jay is an exceptional Blender tutor—patient, engaging, and incredibly encouraging. My 10-year-old son started as an absolute beginner, and thanks to Jay’s guidance, he now looks forward to every lesson and has already started building basic 3D models. Jay’s teaching style makes complex concepts easy to understand, and he creates a supportive learning environment that keeps my child motivated. Given all these great qualities, my son has also started learning FL Studio with Jay with equal engagement. Highly recommend him for anyone looking to learn Blender, whether you're a beginner or looking to advance your skills!

Choose Jay!
Jay is an excellent Blender teacher. As a newbie to the program he clearly and quickly taught me the basics of the dashboard, the tools I wanted to learn, and how to use them. I will be using Jay again.

They provided insightful tips and tricks that went beyond basic tutorials, helping me unlock the full potential of Blender’s tools and features. Jay’s passion for creativity and innovation is contagious, making every session both productive and inspiring. Whether you’re a beginner or looking to refine your skills, collaborating with Jay is a game-changer. Highly recommended!

Teacher like mindset
He is a decent tutor. I think I had a different opinion on how things were going to go. I was looking for someone to straight to the point to help me with a particular subject. He recognized that there were some fundamentals that I was missing as far as blender goes which put him into full on teaching mode. His style of teaching the basics is veteran level but also seemed like he was use to teaching children. I felt like I was being tested regularly which took up a bit of time. I am someone that if you just explain quickly and get to the point I will learn so it went slower than I’d hoped for. I’m not sure how capable he is of advanced animation such as physics simulation properties as he got held up a bit on the one thing I wanted to actually be able to do. he mentioned that he understands one property wellbut not the others. Then gravitated towards wanting to teach me that when I had little interest in it. He also mentioned that he only understood a single particular aspect of geometry nodes. If you are in school wanting to learn the basics of blender then I would suggest him especially if you have children trying to learn. There was a lot of stalling and unsure if it was him stalling for time as at the end he was salesman style pushing for more lessons with me or if he just had a hard time or if that’s just his speed. This is not a negative review it is more of constructive criticism
T.j., 1 lesson with JayTutor responded:The "teacher-like mindset" comes from having been writing curricula and teaching Blender since 2007. Yes, I have taught children as young as 6 yo and also adults 60+. I have worked in high school classrooms and in Universities with graduate students of Architecture. Over 30 years... I have done it all! I am certainly capable of teaching to any level of learning. Sometimes it takes a session or two of communication to learn how a student prefers to learn and to go at the pace that works for them. I have incredible patience for this process. It requires empathy and understanding. In order to disuade any implication that I may be wasting my student's time by "stalling"; what I am doing in this moment is planning three or four steps ahead. Like someone might stratergize during a chess match. An important skill to implement into any Blender workflow.
Excellent
Jay was great to work with. He’s friendly and patient. Very knowledgeable about the subject. I would work with him again in the future. Highly recommended his services

Great tutor, my son loved working with him
Jay did an awesome job helping my son learn some blender and can’t wait till the next session. Was very knowledgeable with blender and provided great instruction

Friendly and knowledgeable
Jay is thorough in his teachings and brings joy and levity towards things he teaches (in my case Audacity). I highly and extremely recommend him for whatever you need taught because he's more than worth the money and time invested.

Great Start!
Due to technical issues, we couldn’t have a complete session. However, he was a patient tutor and provided an opportunity for me to get to know him and provide him an overview of my goals so that our time would not be wasted. I appreciate the flexibility.
