Great, great teacher!

He is a knowledgeable teacher and provides thorough lesson guidance. My daughter loves studying, and is inspired. She waits for his lesson every week and wants to study more each day. I strongly recommend!

Knowledgeable and helpful tutor with a lot of experience

Tim has taught me so much about Toon Boom Harmony Advanced and Premium. I'm an MA Animation student who's really been struggling with dog walk cycles. He's been such a great help in breaking each part down for me. Animating itself has become much faster and easier thanks to him. Overall, he knows so much about the software but he's also kind and patient as well. Would definitely recommend!
