My daughter was considered by everyone to draw very nicely. She follows many online "drawing guidance", yet the Elite Academy Open House served to identify crucial steps in the process that were omitted in these online tutoring courses. I registered her for the Foundational Drawing class. She loved it and every day looked forward to her next class. Todd was very attentive to detail and very courteous when addressing questions and needs of both parent and child. Woody also has a great personality and my daughter said she loves his teaching style and that he explains very well while making learning fun. I interacted with almost everyone that was working or assisting there and can't complain about any of them. The learning process in the Academy and the techniques taught make a world of a difference in the outcome and how long it takes to get there (without depleting the world of erasers). LOL Thank you for offering this opportunity.

My daughter attended a summer camp and this was her review:

"I was in the Foundational drawing camp and cannot recommend it highly enough! Mr. Woody gave me great and detailed feedback/suggestions on my work, and he taught us how to draw multiple kinds of objects, fruit, cloth, and people. I’ve taken a lot of art courses, but this class was taught completely differently than any course I’ve taken before. Whether you’re new to drawing or have been drawing for years, I highly recommend this camp!"

An additional review after she attended a second camp:
"I really enjoyed the gesture drawing camp with Mr. Woody! I didn’t have a great understanding of how to draw people and anatomy going into the camp, but by the end of the week, my drawing had significantly improved. This is a great course, highly recommend!"

My daughter has been taking classes since 2018. It is the only place we found in all of Florida where she can interact with real animators and fulfill her dreams of becoming one herself. The staff is extremely professional and the environment fosters creativity regardless of the level of the student. Highly recommend.

I enrolled my 2 children ages 13 & 11 at Elite Animation Academy based on their spectacular reviews and I must say, I surely made the right decision. The children absolutely loved it!! They have several classes to choose from, the classes are very detailed oriented and well organized. Mr. Todd, the owner is a very nice and understanding person who clearly knew what he was doing when he opened this amazing school! I highly recommend Elite Animation Academy for any child who wishes to develop their talents.

Todd West and his instructional team bring years of knowledge in digital arts to students of all learning abilities. My daughter absolutely enjoys the courses she has completed as well as the classes she is currently enrolled. From Character Design to 2D animation, she has been able to expand on her artistic talents. The atmosphere is extremely inclusive and my daughter has shared that out of all the animation courses she has taken throughout the state, Elite Animation Academy is by far the best school! It is a worthwhile investment for your children. We are glad to continue classes with EAA!

Elite Animation Academy is a very special place. Mr. Todd is a truly exceptional individual who is providing a truly exceptional learning experience for the kids he so clearly cares deeply about. My daughter, age 11, is an avid drawer but had never had instruction. As a child with very severe anxiety, being in any sort of learning environment often causes her real distress, and usually results in her not being able to learn effectively (including in school). I spoke with Mr. Todd quite a bit before enrolling her, and based on his obvious experience and caring, as well as all the five-star reviews, we decided to take a chance and enroll her for a week of summer camp, flying down from Mass. Mr. Todd took her challenges not just in stride, but has provided so much support for her and her needs, and she has *thrived* in this program. The instruction she's received has been stellar, and she is so proud of her new skills and knowledge. Mr. Todd and the staff have not just taught her animation. They have also treated her with respect, with kindness, with honesty, and with skilled guidance throughout the week. She has immediately signed up for 1:1 online lessons for the Fall - something we have never seen her do before. We are so grateful, and thrilled for our daughter. This is truly a special place, offering *so* much more than lessons in art. They've earned every five star review they have - I wish I could give Elite and Mr. Todd ten stars. If you're thinking about it, don't hesitate.

I can't say enough how AWESOME Elite Animation Academy has been for my daughter. Todd is Great!! He explained everything in detail to me. My Daughter's instructor Brandon is one of the best. He help my daughter improve so much with her animation. He showed her how to animate in ways she didn't think she could do. She told me that her weekly sessions with Brandon is what she looked forward to every week. She will be starting 9th grade this year and we plan to continue working with Todd and his team on her development and building her portfolio for college. We are looking forward to the journey of growth and relationship building in the coming years.
