“I got two private reviews from Garth, the Animation Tutor and it was a very enriching experience! I appreciated the professional and yet friendly approach. The teachers' schedules are also fit for people on the other side of the globe, I could book a time that worked for me, even though there's an 8 hour time difference between Canada and where I live. Ultimately, I got accepted into my dream school, so I'd say it's definitely worth asking the Animation Tutor for help!”

“Thanks to the help of port prep and Karen I was accepted into an architecture program. Their knowledge and insight into how to craft a portfolio is invaluable. Not only was Karen able to provide guidance regarding specific schools I wanted to get into, I also vastly improved my work both conceptually and technically in a very short period of time. I would recommend port prep to anyone who is considering applying to university as well as those who want to improve their ability to technically execute their ideas in a unique and professional manner.

Bottom line sign up you will not regret it.”

— Samuel from Ontario
