About Us
We are passionate about animation
We are also passionate about diversity, inclusion and equity.
We started AnimationFocus with the aim of offering accessible animation tuition for those who can’t afford the time or financial commitment of alternative animation education.
We believe…
…when our animation teams are more reflective of the world we live in, the stories we put on the screen are better. If you have a dream of working in animation, we want to help you get there.
If there are financial issues preventing you from taking a class with us - please send us an email.
Our tutors…
…have taught, lectured and mentored animation students all over the world. Between us we’ve animated characters like Elastigirl, Dory, Miguel, Cruz, Joy, Sadness, Arlo, Luca, 22, Mei and Merida. We know what it takes to create feature film quality work and craft student animation that shows personality and potential.
It’s our goal to help you do that.

Student Testimonials
Here are some thoughts from recent students:
“The one on one teaching experience was way better than the other group classes I’ve had. I also had a really great tutor (Cat) and I learned a lot. I liked that it is personalized to my own needs.”
“All the little details about your workflow and method were really appreciated. There was no rush to squeeze everything into 15 minutes... and a good amount of time to think and ask questions.”
“The one-on-one tutoring really helped to talk about what I needed to improve on and what I wanted to work towards. Jude was very patient and helpful in giving feedback and answering my questions.”
“I really liked how the critiques were 1 on 1, and it was an hour long. Very personalized education and I really liked Jaime! She is awesome!”
“It was such a unique experience to have the undivided attention of an expert in the animation field. I was able to learn a lot, not only about my own process and skills, but about the industry as well. My tutor, Becki, was extremely knowledgeable and open to answering any questions that arose.”
“I was immediately comfortable working with (Carolina) and was grateful for her honest feedback. I was glad to learn several aspects of animation performance that I never considered in all my years of animating.”
“I truly feel like I am a better animator than I was just a month ago and I give Cat all the thanks for that!”
“My instructor, Carolina, not only challenged me to exceed my deadlines each week, but to seek out my own voice as an animator and storyteller and lend my own voice to my character’s performance. ”
“I liked the one-on-one format and that we were able to have a meeting in advance of our class to map out a plan for our sessions. I felt that my instructor and I were on the same page as to where I’m at as an animator and what I was trying to get out of the class.”
