Colin is an exceptional tutor providing high level 3D industry knowledge to his classes and always in a fun, personable manner. Colin has a wonderful sense of humour and is an invaluable asset amongst the team, always helping out and supporting the team where needed. He caring guidance and kind demeanor make the subjects he teaches really resonate with both staff and students, always supporting those around him to strive for excellent results. From being taught by Colin in 2010 and now being fortunate to work alongside him, I thoroughly enjoy being in a team with Colin and hope to continue for many years yet.

Colin was my teacher while I studied at Yoobee back in 2012-2015 and I worked with him directly when I was his assistant teacher back in 2015. He is an extremely professional and enthusiastic teacher, he showed a lot of dedication and passion while teaching. He motivated students to achieve highly and step out of their comfort zone to learn new things. His vast knowledge and eagerness to explore and learn new methods reflected in his work and teaching. Colin is approachable, relatable and encouraging, without Colin's guidance and teaching, I would not be where I am today. He is an amazing mentor and I would highly recommend him as a teacher to anyone willing to learn and I would happily work with him again.
