“ABSOLUTELY BLOWN AWAY!”

Jay is awesome. My kid has always loved drawing but these classes have immediately helped her put her ideas on paper. I’m absolutely blown away by her progress in just a few classes.

“CHILDREN ARE FULLY ENGAGED AND ENJOYING THEMSELVES!”

I found Jay and Cartoon Coach at the CNE. My whole family decided to give it a try and LOVED the enthusiasm and what we learned in an hour – so, my son pleaded to be enrolled in his classes.

He really enjoys Jay’s classes and is eager to share with me what he has learned. Listening in on the classes I can tell the children are fully engaged and are really enjoying themselves.

“A FANTASTIC EDUCATOR!”

I very highly recommend Cartoon Coach for anyone looking to develop drawing skills. Our daughter has been taking classes with Jay for 3 years. She just loves the support she gets from Jay, and the sense of community Jay builds among all class-takers. She also appreciates his tremendous energy! Not to mention the development of her drawing skills – after 3 years her artwork is next level and she is able to take Jay’s direction and apply it in new creative ways to her own drawings. I appreciate how Jay fosters this creativity in the learners, giving them personalized suggestions for what to try, how to tweak their technique and different forms of expression to explore. He is a fantastic educator – we have never needed to prod our daughter to renew classes, she is always eager to keep learning with Jay!

My daughter loves to draw and since she started taking classes with Cartoon Coach her drawing has improved greatly. But most important, she loves it because she has fun. The instructor is very good running the classes. Even the online classes are very engaging.

“WE’RE SIGNING UP FOR ANOTHER BUNCH OF SESSIONS!”

Cartoon Coach has been great for my 11 year old. He’s always been interested and talented but these classes have brought out a skill set he didn’t know he had. It’s been a great experience and it’s nice to see my son really engaged and excited for his next class. We’re signing up for another bunch of sessions.
