I sent my kid to her, and my kid received the highest score in the AP art class. All the portfolio preparation class students got accepted by famous art colleges and universities with very high scholarships. Many of her students received awards from major art competitions every year, and she also received the art educator awards from Scholastic Art and Writing award many years in a row. I highly recommend Soho Art Studio.

My kids have been attending his studio when he was in Pleasanton and San Ramon for about two years…read moreand we had nothing but praises for Mr. Li, but not anymore. He recently changed his tuition structure for 15 classes for $300 which we paid but he never mentioned that we had to use it in 5 months. This past weekend, when we try to use the last two sessions, Mr. Li said we can't because it expired! We told Mr. Li that he never told us that when we paid the fee and he said his policy is posted on the window (which we never noticed until he mentioned it). Mr. Li said he also post this information on his website but we told him it doesn't matter because he should have said something to us when we paid him or should have given us a receipt with this information or something in writing to that effect. He stood his ground and told my wife that if our kids want to attend we need to pay. Mr. Li, you've been teaching our two kids for over two years but what you did is wrong. Regardless of what your sign said, you never told us we had to use it within five months and you as good business practice and teacher for my kids for over two years, you should've just let them attend the class and we would've keep coming. We were not asking for anything free, all we were asking is to let us use what we paid for. Now, you've lost two students and we're going to spread the word to everyone we know about our experience. Was what you did worth it?

I grew up at this art studio! I recently left for college, but I attended Li's Art Studio from…read moreelementary school to high school. Mr. Li is a great teacher and encouraged us to grow as artists. We have learned to use a variety of mediums, from pencil sketching, oil painting, watercolor, to traditional chinese guóhuà. We also learned to draw a lot of different subjects like portraits, landscapes, still life - pretty much anything I was interested in, Mr. Li could teach it. Every year we'd have a field trip to a local park - including Coyote Hills and Quarry Lakes to paint real life landscapes with watercolors that we'd drag along. It was always fun, and I still have those paintings hanging up in my childhood room. By the time I left, I had a portfolio that I was really happy with, and throughout my time there he encouraged and helped us to enter into local art contests. He really supported my creativity, and although I decided that drawing isn't really for me as a career, I still find it super-duper useful at school and work in engineering because I communicate my ideas through quick sketches. I cannot recommend Mr. Li's art studio enough!

We love that Jess ditches rote learning for a variety of engaging methods: from traditional workbooks, to playful card games at the dining table, and interactive music apps on her laptop. We started with 30-minute weekly lessons but soon moved to 45. Their weekly lessons fly by as they work through warm-up scales to nuanced playing techniques to music theory, solidifying music fundamentals while keeping things fun and light-hearted. Jess's well-rounded approach has yielded more progress in just 8 months than over the past several years combined. We knew we liked her style from the start. In her first lesson with our piano player, Jess removed all piano key labels except the one for middle C, prompting our younger daughter to quickly learn her notes! We also love that Jess fosters a vibrant student community. Annual contests with exciting rewards (like winners' trips to Color Me Mine) fuel friendly competition, which are big motivators for our competitive kids. She also offers recital opportunities, which were a must-have when we looked for a new teacher. Jess's professionally organized biannual recitals provide a supportive space for students to perform, gain confidence, and even dress up! Last year's Fall recital was during Halloween week, and my kids *loved* being able to dress up for their performance. I've really appreciated Jess's flexibility with scheduling. Although she has many students to juggle, she offers and proactively schedules makeup lessons and is always responsive via text and email. Bottom line is that Jess is a rare find. She's passionate, knowledgeable, and best of all fun. She makes learning music a joy for both our kids and therefore for us. We can tell that she genuinely cares about her students. She always allows time for our girls to chat with her before class starts, as they are always bursting with stories to share with her. She knows how to cater to their individual needs, celebrates achievements, and has a contagious energy that keeps these kids engaged. We look forward to her visits, and our daughters are motivated to practice for this amazing teacher. If you seek a program that goes beyond the basics, look no further than Jess!
