Tutoring · Founder of N Academy, 2019–2024

I love helping people learn.

From 2019 to 2024 I ran N Academy, the motion design school I founded, and for more than a decade I've mentored and tutored people in motion design. I'm patient, I explain things clearly, and I celebrate the moment an idea finally clicks. I also teach thousands more on my YouTube channel, Motion with Nas.

Kind words

Don't just take my word for it.

“You know that feeling you get when you eventually possess the skill to perform a self-presumed difficulty after a long period of doubt? That was exactly what I felt when I finished the Motion Design Kickstart course: a mountain levelled, possibilities unleashed, horizon widened. Just reach out to N.Academy, learn motion. Thank me later.”

“N.Academy, for me, is more than a motion design institute. I found a family in N.Academy: new bonds, new relationships. The class itself was worth more than the price paid, and I enjoyed every bit of it. The facilitator is so down to earth, and the classroom was so conducive. N.Academy is among the best things that happened to me this year.”

“The institute planted stuff in my subconscious that won't allow me to watch TV normally again. Every movement on my TV screen suddenly makes more sense and comes alive, all thanks to the astute teaching abilities of the facilitators. My mind is now more open than ever before. This is money well invested for me.”

“This was an insightful introduction to motion design. The course was well laid out and easy to understand and follow, as our tutor made every class interesting and enlightening. The practical approach ensured that I understood what I was being taught. I would totally recommend this if you are a beginner and want to get your feet wet in the motion design world.”

“N.Academy has been of great help in my motion design career, from the actual skill, to exposure to wonderful motion designers, to opening my mind to the great possibilities in motion design. Finding N.Academy in 2020 was one of the best things that happened to me that year.”
Kef WilliamsKef WilliamsN.Academy student, 2020
“Learning motion design was one of my goals for 2021, and I am so glad I was able to achieve it through N.Academy. The learning process was simply amazing; I couldn't ask for a better teacher or school. I got value for money spent, I met very creative minds at the academy, and I couldn't have asked for a better place or time to learn motion design.”

“Learning motion design at N.Academy shifted my view from point A to point Z. It has inspired me to think beyond my strength as a designer, and to develop the best solutions to design and communication problems using motion design. I am applauding the N.Academy team for a job well done.”

The academy closed. The teaching didn't.

On my YouTube channel I share full tutorials and real project breakdowns: SaaS motion graphics, launch videos and explainers in After Effects and Cinema 4D. I walk through every step, so you can learn from real client work.

How it works

Simple, patient, personal.

Step 1

We talk first.

A short conversation about where you are, where you want to get to, and how you learn best.

Step 2

We make a plan.

Clear goals, broken into small steps, so progress is something you can see.

Step 3

We keep going.

Regular sessions, honest feedback, and encouragement all the way through.
