Johanna/ March 2021
"We started private classes with Paula as a gift for my son's 13th birthday. Since then, he joined a group class and has loved every minute of it. We are impressed with how much he was able to learn in a relatively short time, and we look forward to continuing with Paula as his schedule allows. That said, no matter how busy his days, he would always look forward to animation class -- at times rearranging his plans around meeting times. Thank you, Paula, for giving us all this gift."

- Jay Briggs 08/2018 Paula Allen aka Pollyzoom is an excellent teacher for the arts. Within a few sessions, she assisted my daughter to bring out her creativity and channel same into a portfolio for entrance into Magnet High School program for the Arts. My daughter's skills were enhanced quickly expanded and she successfully gained entrance into the art program of her choice. The experience increased my daughter's self-confidence.
