Alexander is the right guy to help you to get the right confidence. Very positive, contagious actions and a singular way to teach you what you need. I felt benefits already in my career and this is great.
His style to teach and to act makes everything easier. We went deep in the advanced course and my coding style is much better already. I can tell you, Thank you, Alexander, Sequel? :P

Eric Hug

Character Rigger

This course is meant to help you understand how to use Python with Maya. If you don’t know Python? Don’t worry! This course helps you develop the foundation you’ll need should you want to break into your specific industry (rigging, special effects, lighting, film or gaming, etc.). This course is the best source for learning any programming language I have ever received. If Alex decides to teach a sequel to this course, let me know and sign me up! (Or vice versa.)

Jim Paez

Compositor & VFX Supervisor

Alexander has provided invaluable info on how to find the right landing spot into the film industry. He is part strategist, part thought provoker, honest and straightforward. His knowledge about the industry indicates when and how to invoke the various skills are needed to bring out a clarity of purpose and desire that is often hard to pinpoint on your own. He has a way of make questioning about your own thoughts, he is able to focus them in a way that adds meaningful direction. I could go on and on with superlatives, but suffice it to say that if you are looking for someone to confide in and learn from about yourself, your professional skills, your career ambitions, and your potential, look no further than Alex.

The coaching was perfect for me who wanted structure for trying to achieve a specific goal. Alex was a fantastic mentor because he gave me a realistic, very structured plan to improve my portfolio and online presence. My favorite thing about the coaching was not only that Alex cares about you individually but the advise I got was very earnest. Now I have a solid foundation to build onto.

Junior Game Rigger

Amazing teaching style, completely comprehensive, I have taken a few python courses that were not Maya centered but they were always bogged down by niche concepts and not paying enough attention to the core of python as a whole. I learned a lot and that is thanks to you!

Alex is a great coach. He tells exactly what you need to change and doesn’t sugar coat anything, it was a very straight-forward conversation that helped me to improve a lot my job applications. As a student coming from a different field of work and also from a different country, I had to learn how to make a cover letter from scratch. I strongly recommend him to anyone interested in working in VFX.
