This is all about YOU and what you want to get out of this, whether it's to work at a big animation studio, or if you want to start your own YouTube channel or social media following.

Professional and friendly tutor!

I like how she gives out assignments to do before your next session as, a result it gives you something to practice from the template. She is fair not only does she tell you what to work on but, in addition she gives you a kind word on your strengths. I am learning more and more about rigging!

Flexible, quick on the feet

Really enjoyed my first session! Learned a lot and enjoyed Ilana's ability to customize a class for my needs. Will certainly setup future sessions!

Great Experience!!!

Great experience! Ilana was very patient while teaching me the many functions within Maya. We went through all my questions and she gave me a better understanding of how the program works. I will definitely continue to learn/work with Ilana.
