Growing up, my parents were teachers at the same highschool I attended, so they knew just as well as I did- their son wasn’t meant to be a scientist. I’d had an interest in the arts since childhood, but going into the tenth grade (with discussions of university on the horizon) it was time to take things seriously. At the time I drew often, but my learning consisted of youtube videos (BAM Animation is a holy grail) and artists I followed on Instagram (At the time, an artist by the name of Koteri.ink had me floored). But I knew that if I was gonna pursue art as a career I had to be diligent and find a school that would secure me a job.

In this vlog I interview Connor, a past student of mine who was accepted into Sheridan College's animation program for the 2023 year.

I've worked with over a hundred students who have successfully made it through Sheridan College's notoriously difficult portfolio process. I'm Garth, the Animation Tutor, and I teach my online courses and personal mentorships to ensure all of my students have the best possible pre-College education and understand all of the necessary skills to get accepted at top animation colleges such as Sheridan, CalArts, Gobelins, The Animation Workshop, RISD, Capilano, SVA, and many more. My students have been accepted all around the globe!
