Hey there! I'm Garth, the founder and educator at The Animation Tutor.
Over the past ten years, I've had the pleasure of working with incredible students, supporting them make their dreams come true by getting into their top Colleges and Universities to study animation, concept art, game design, and illustration. I myself am a graduate of Sheridan College's Bachelor of Animation, and when I'm not busy assisting my fantastic students, you'll find me freelancing as an animator and illustrator.

“The Animation Tutor curated courses that provide the exact tools and requirements you need to prepare a portfolio. I was very nervous and overwhelmed with the portfolio requirements, but now I know exactly what I need to make and the quality it needs to be to get into the school I want. The Animation Portfolio Bundle contained all the needed skills and standards, and it packs in a lot of learning.”

“I took Private Lessons with Garth and it was a very enriching experience! I appreciated the professional and friendly approach. Even with an 8-hour time difference across the globe, I could book a time that worked for me. Ultimately, I got accepted into my dream school. It’s definitely worth asking The Animation Tutor for help!”
