Testimonials

Life as a freelancer and business owner is paved with thorns. That’s why I’d recommend The Freelancer’s Academy for their supportive community. I have seen for myself the sincerity and heart that the TFA community has and it is truly remarkable! They are a community that keeps on giving - immense value through knowledge, skills and community mindshare. If you are looking for a community that at its core is about helping you boost your business with poise and heart, choose TFA! The founders, AJ and Renee are incredibly warm, sincere and thoughtful. Working with them has been a pleasant experience and if you value working with professionals that are ambitious, dedicated and service-oriented with a keen eye for detail, Renee is who you should work with!

I realized (quite noobly) that I could have just reached out to Azurah Jan and Renee Ismail to ask for their recommendations! I have access to BOTH an audio and video expert through TFA Circle and it totally skipped my mind 🤦🏻‍♂️ Long story short, I hopped on a Clarity Call with AJ and Renee, and voila! Got my problem settled in 30 minutes 🥳 So THANK YOU both for your generous advice and thoughtful suggestions. I super appreciate it! PSA to TFA members: Just ask! If TFA Circle isn't our quickest shortcut, I dunno what is. Big hugs 🥰

I went for my first clarity call with the amazing ladies from TFA Renee and AJ. I came with a few questions that have been in my mind for awhile and have learnt a lot from their expertise, sharing and experience - which were real-life scenarios! I also found it helpful when they gave me pointers and small steps as homework, so I had better clarity and understanding on how to move forward from the first call. I now feel more empowered and equipped to do better. If you ever thought of going on a clarity call them them, don’t think twice! 😊

I attend TFA Future summit on 9th Nov 2024. I got to know about it through SUSS. It was a great exposure to me to learn and listen to real freelancers and it has awaken my interest in freelancing.

As an expert invited to share my knowledge at The Freelancers Academy, I was thoroughly impressed by the entire experience. TFA’s commitment to providing high-quality education and fostering a supportive community is evident from the moment you join as a member.The resources available to both experts and participants are top-notch. The curriculum is thoughtfully designed, providing a comprehensive foundation for freelancers at all levels. I appreciated the emphasis on practical, real-world applications, which truly helps bridge the gap between theory and practice.My experience working with TFA was incredibly rewarding. I look forward to future collaborations and highly recommend them to any freelancer or expert looking to expand their knowledge and network. Thank you TFA for creating such an inspiring platform!

I spoke for TFA summit on the topic of Exceptional Entrepreneurship Excellence, focusing on how the audience can reframe the way they perceive their services and how to go the extra mile for their clients.Working with Renee and AJ was a seamless process as they had everything under full control and could move the pieces as required without much worry on my end.Not to mention, they were professional in requesting for the topic to be spoken, knowing full well what the audience required - kudos to them as the founders of The Freelancers Academy!
