What Our Students Say

Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.

Pete Zamora

"Where to began I’ve been on a self discovery for 38 years of my life. I just want to say going to Tutela I literally feel like I’ve found my community my family. No judgment zone I look forward each day to learn more and more from Justin and Sam it’s such a great space. I’ve been going for about two weeks now I’m more than excited for my future endeavors with Tutela. Not to mention my younger brother and nephew attend so it’s literally a family affair. But I want to add in the short time I’ve been attending I’ve already made friendships that are more like brotherhoods so thank you Justin and Sam thank you @Tutela excited for the future because it is bright! 🙏🏽🙇🏽‍♂️🤍 🪽🪽🪽🪽🪽🧿"

Micaela C.

"Took my son for a trial class with no previous experience. Justin was able to effectively teach his regular class and also give my son proper guidance to do all the activities in class. I appreciated that he had discipline for kids and was also able to teach things at their level. Will definitely be coming back!"
