Sonah M. says, "What Andres a great teacher is that he listens to his students carefully. He is excellent at teaching values, colors, temperature, edges, and drawing. He teaches how to compose pictures and sets up still life arrangements with great detail. His explanations are easy to understand, and he snakes even complex concepts simple and does so quite effectively. He responds to questions promptly, always keeps his promises, and engages with his students rather than teaching in a one-way manner. He is very patient and demonstrates painting and drawing techniques, offering a wide variety of methods. I highly recommend him at any level. He can meet you at your level and make you grow."

Mrs L. says, "If you want to find your artist inner voice, Frau Legler is your best choice. You can go with any level of experience. I mean, really any, and I mean including zero experience and zero talent and she will show you how your talent is there somewhere, even if you don't know it. There is no criticism, no micromanagement, just guidance and encouragement. To me - she trusted me more than I trusted myself. And that was tremendously helpful. She has an absolutely gorgeous little studio, a very pleasant environment to bring onto the surface any artistic feeling. There is an European flair in the studio and the lessons and there is far more depth in this lady than her website shows. Best teacher you'd want!" Read more

Kim G. says, "Alfredo is one of the most prodigious and skilled artists I have ever met. He makes his personal skills easy to understand and communicate and the way I have grown as an artist in the past 3 years with him is beyond anything I ever expected of myself, let alone something I ever expected an artist to be able to communicate to another person as a teachable skill. If you’re on the fence about hiring him, please do yourself a favor and do it!" Read more

I could leave a novel length review regarding how good my experience was with my first round of sessions were with Alfredo. I had absolutely no experience painting with oils prior to my classes. As our sessions went on, Alfredo created snd altered my class structure to accommodate what I needed. He didn't just teach me how to put oils on a canvas, but explained the importance of everything from the care and cleaning of your brushes, materials he recommended all the way to explaining color theory, sketching and more. He has played an integral role in me using art and painting to finding peace and putting smiles on my face. I cant wait to see my progress in our next round of sessions. Not only is Alfredo a great instructor, but hes my mentor and my friend. Hes helped a U.S. Marine Combat Veteran find a way to push an illness aside and use art to be happy. I hope I'm able to attach my paintings below. One is my very first completed painting and one about to be completed, and could not look anything like they do with Alfredo's guidance. They are pieces painted prior from other artists.

We thoroughly enjoyed working with Machiko! Not only is she a very talented and natural musician, but she is also an inspiring and amazing teacher. My 10 yr old daughter always looked forward to lessons with Machiko, she felt supported, encouraged and challenged all at the same time!

I am a kindergarten teacher and we loved Suzanne‘s art lessons. She teaches to your grade level and she is wonderful. Our projects that we have done with her are step-by-step and turn out wonderful. The kids learn from each piece of art work that we have done. Once we did a butterfly lifecycle painting and crayon resist.
