Testimonials

“Professor Freda really takes students' thoughts, opinions, and ideas seriously. He is a very effective instructor who cares a lot about his students and their learning processes.” -F.I.T. Student

"I've had the opportunity to sign up for an art mentorship with Dan Zollinger in the past and it was such a joyful experience! Dan brought his enthusiasm each step of the way, alongside helpful notes and observations on my drafts, book recommendations, tips on digital settings, all with the aim to bring out the best of the artwork at hand. My draft proposals were never shot down and instead, it was always a matter of how can we improve what we have right now. An ever-encouraging mentor such as him can make a world of difference to a struggling student. I highly recommend!" - Alex, Comic Artist-Illustrator
