Emily has been amazing with my daughter. She is patient and encouraging and has taught her so much in only a few lessons. I've seen my daughter's figure drawing skills grow so much over the past few weeks. I'm even seeing her break out of her comfort zone on her own more often than before she started working with Emily. I was a little wary of online lessons, but they have worked out great and I think actually taken a little pressure off that she might feel doing an in person lesson.

My ten-year-old son, Andrew, has had five lessons with Emily, and they have all been spectacular. She has a great rapport with kids, and helped him improve his drawing skills tremendously. Andrew has always looked forward to his lessons. I highly recommend Emily!

The art genres that she can help you with are alot of things, whether you focus on humans or animals, traditional or digital. She helps you with the art tips you need, whatever problems you have she can help you with. Shes not the type of instructor who starts from scratch for everyone. She will start from the point where you are and help you improve on your own pace. Would definately recommend classes with this instructor.

My son is 14 and he loved his first lesson with Emily. She took some extra time to answer some question about a problem that he was having with his animation program and followed up with some new solutions. He felt really inspired after the lesson and continued to work on his animations in the following days. We will be signing up for a regular time with Emily and I can't wait to see how his skills progress.

Emily is an amazing art teacher, no doubt about it. I started lessons with art work that was painfully disproportional and ended with work I would never even dream of being capable of creating. She’s a supportive but tough teacher, and helps you learn what interests you. She helped me get into LaGuardia, the high school of my dreams, which I couldn’t have done without her. I would never choose a different art teacher, because I truly believe she is the best. The improvement I saw from when I first started lessons with her is insane, and I’m so glad I got the chance to have her had my teacher. Hands down, the best art teacher ever.

Emily is THE BEST! She exceeded all expectations & was a tremendous help getting our 12 yr old daughter started!
She related so well it was like taking lessons from a good friend! Our daughter now has a solid working foundation to expand on!
Thanks to Emily we got the right hardware & software without breaking the bank!
She’s a total Pro & while there might be other instructors as good there are certainly none better!
Our experience was so good with Emily we will explore other TAKELESSON Classes in the future! Thank You VERY MUCH Emily!!

My first lesson was eye opening. I have been afraid of using colors in my art and she explained things to me in a way that I could digest. After the lesson I worked on a rock study in color and was really happy with how it came out. I sent it to her to review and she gave me some great feedback on how to add some more color to it.. Thanks Emily.

Emily was extremely helpful. She taught my daughter who didn't know anything about animation and coached her all the way until she was able to produce a short animated movie. She is always very professional and caring of the student needs.
Thank you Emily for all your help.

Emily is fantastic. She is patient and really good at instructing and critiquing work. She seems very experienced and really tries to give both positive feedback and the appropriate constructive criticism. She is also great at encouraging students to not get frustrated by "mistakes" but to accept that mistakes are a part of the growing and becoming a better artist. Having Emily in my ear and working on sketching with me has greatly improved the way I am seeing my work and I'm very much looking forward to working with her more to improve my skills. I would highly recommend her.

Emily prepared my 2 kids for Art School Auditions. She researched the school's requirements and prepared my kids accordingly. My daughter who auditioned a month ago was accepted to the art school thanks to Emily for her gifts, patience, and attention to detail. My son will have his audition this weekend. He feels fully prepared. Emily is awesome and we are grateful to have her as a teacher!

I'm a 20 year old college student and I've been taking Animation, Illustration, and Painting lessons with Emily for almost two years now. I started out very new to drawing and painting, especially digitally, and Emily has brought me so far in the past couple years. She has taught me about animation, color theory, drawing, illustration, and even professionalism as a contracted artist herself. I've progressed so much, and she has been there with me every step of the way! Emily is so patient and encouraging, and pushes you to really do your best and work at what you're learning. That being said, she has never been one to pressure me or push me too far, or be too harsh. These lessons are meant to be fun, and she keeps it that way! My weekly lessons are the highlight of my week, and I truly can't rate her highly enough. I would recommend her for young kids just as much as older kids (like me!) and even hopeful professionals.

Emily is a great teacher, patient and very knowledgable. I was so frustrated trying to figure out the simplest things in PhotoShop and thanks to her instruction and patience, my photoshop skills have improved dramaticall.
I'll be back for more lessons!

Emily is excellent teacher and my kids are really loved her lessons. She explains clearly to kids and encourage kids to express their opinion. I saw great improvement in my kids drawing. Initially I was skeptical how online drawing lessons could be effective. I would like to thank you Emily for making drawing lessons effective and fun.

Emily is a great teacher, and also she is a very talented artist. Her classes are working really well for me at my skill level. She is very patient and dedicated, she really goes at of the way trying to answer all questions I have, even if she has no immediate answer for me, she takes note of it and she answers during next session.
Learning Photoshop with Emily is been great and also fun!, looking forward to my next classes.
