What Simi’s Students are Saying
focused on providing us with industry tools
Simi didn’t just focus on the content of the week. He knew we already had the videos for that. He focused on providing us with tools that can be used in the industry, our assignments and projects in general. I feel he took us beyond the curriculum of the course. Thanks a lot for that.
super enthuastic and happy
He was super enthuastic and happy to give me extra feedback if I felt like submitting some work again with improvements. It really felt like getting direction and working in a studio environment.
showed alternative methods to approach the assignment
I liked that for our Q&A he added more to the material on the website and also showed alternative methods to approach the assignment or work we had to do for the week
understanding and supportive
He was understanding and supportive. Clear feedbacks, clear points about what to focus on and fair grading. I had fun at lectures.
