Hannah has been tutoring my daughter on a weekly basis for at least 2 years now. She is an excellent tutor, very creative, patient and very encouraging. Whatever my daughter wants to do, be it printing, sculpting, painting, line drawing etc etc, she would facilitate it to her best ability. She also provides excellent handouts after each class and my daughter enjoys learning different techniques and art concepts from her. A long time ago, my daughter splattered dots and blobs of paint on a loo roll and showed it to Hannah who said it looked like a Yayoi Kusama and together, they worked on the loo roll and even named it ‘Mr Centre of the Universe’ (‘because each dot could be the centre of our universe’). My daughter now holds an art scholarship, all thanks to Hannah’s amazing tutoring and patience.

Had a great time with Nick for our very first life drawing class. Was a bit nervous as neither of us have done any drawing but Nick put us at ease with lots of great insightful conversation and guided work.

I started taking Portfolio Preparation classes with Nick in September 2017 and came to his studio quite lost as to how to go about it and what kind of work universities were looking for. The studio is a wonderful place to be able to work in and Nick was very patient with me throughout the whole art school application process. I struggled when it came to the fundamentals of art, not having been taught that well in school and he guided me through each of them and also brought art history into the mix of those classes as well. As soon as I would come in he would get me to start drawing or painting something straight away and he has an amazing library of resources which helped trigger my conceptual mind when I was stuck for ideas. Nick says on his website that he has a 100% success rate when it comes to helping get his students into their choice of art school and that is very much true. With his help, constant encouragement, and a fantastic reference he wrote for me, I managed to get into my first choice Uni! Thank you so much Nick for your time, patience and for all your help getting me through this!

I've been going to Nick's Art classes since November and I'm delighted to have found such a fantastic studio! Nick provides a comfortable and inspired space where you can feel at ease to practice or experiment with paint and painting materials. Nicks guidance is great however don't expect him to hold your hand during lessons! You must be ready to throw yourself into painting! I would recommend this to anyone! PS: the lunch on Saturdays is great!

I had a brilliant time at the Saturday art class. I'm a beginner to painting but I felt completely at ease in the studio. We learnt about techniques for using acrylic paint and I was really pleased with my first painting. The teacher, Nick Malone, is an artist and he made the topic lots of fun. I met some really nice people amongst the other students and I'm really looking forward to my next session. It's also great to be able to pay as I go, I work some weekends so I couldn't commit to a course.
