Awesome, highly reccomend

Wendell knows what he's talking about, is clear, concise and helped me out directly. If you're looking to just learn the thing, and I imagine if you're serious about learning Maya or other game art software, you are or should be, then he's who you want.

A Very Knowledgeable and Patient Tutor

He answered questions I had with the programs Maya and Unity. Very kind and thoughtful. Just make sure to let him know when exactly you want to meet in the day. He can be busy and stuff comes up. Would see him again if I needed more help with the programs in the future.
