Our highest recommendation!!
Jason has earned our highest recommendation. Our daughter needed help learning Maya so she could create a demo reel for an internship application; she faced a very steep learning curve and tight timeframe. Jason was the perfect tutor to help her with this project -- professional, patient, kind, easy to schedule, and extremely talented. With Jason's help, she not only made her deadline but also emerged from the experience with confidence, skills and portfolio assets she could leverage going forward. She could not have accomplished this without his guidance and we are extremely grateful to have found his expert tutoring services. Thank you Jason!

Fun and patient tutor!
Jason helped my 10-year-old get started with Adobe Photoshop and Google Docs, as well as setup his Wacom tablet--even with all that, and getting used to the Wyzant platform, they managed to make some beautiful art, too! Thank you Jason for a positive, energizing experience. My son is looking forward to more lessons with you!

Amazing
Jason was so helpful and insightful, this was my first time using this website and I could not be any more pleased with my experience. He was very patient with me as I’m new to using adobe after effects but he is extremely knowledgeable and the way he teaches is very pleasant. Thank you!

Knowledgeable and patient tutor
Jason was very friendly and helpful throughout all of our lessons. He gives great advice on tips and how to improve quickly and effectively. If he's stuck on a problem, he works through it and finds an answer in the end. He's also very compassionate and wants to get to know his students personally. Highly recommend!

Fantastic tutor!
Would highly recommend for animation and fundamentals learning especially if you feel behind the curve on being self taught! He has a very friendly demeanor and the right amount of patience! Had a wonderful time.
