Celebrating Student Success

At TsingMei Art Studio, our walls echo with stories of artistic breakthroughs. From students achieving the maximum 7 in IB Visual Arts to those securing 7 World Top Awards in A-Level portfolios, every success is a testament to our three-pillar philosophy: precision mentoring that decodes assessment criteria, creative incubating that cultivates individual voice, and strategic scaffolding that transforms potential into proven excellence.
‍
While these accolades represent measurable milestones, the true TsingMei difference lies in the unseen - the late-night studio consultations where concepts take shape, the personalized critique sessions refining brushstrokes and conceptual depth, and the curated progression plans aligning artistic growth with academic timelines.
‍
This is why our alumni don't just meet standards, but redefine them.

This is an amazing art studio that helped me a lot in preparing myself for universities and my future careers. The teachers are very skilful and kind, and I am truly grateful for what they've taught me.

William Xu

Although it was a little difficult for me to start the PS class with zero basics, I learned a lot and found it very effective after following it. It was also very helpful for school assignments. The teacher was also very patient.

Vivian Peng

Great workspace with very comfortable learning environment suitable for all ages. The staff are very friendly to students and are all very capable and versatile in their abilities to teach a range of mediums/techniques/styles etc. Overall would recommend for all art enthusiasts especially ones that are preparing for university entrance portfolios.

Su Jack

I learned a lot in the studio. You can do it by yourself or find a teacher at any time during class. There are also many software classes to choose from during the holidays, which is very good.

Valerie Huang

In the process of students learning painting independently, the studio provides students with an excellent environment and the teachers also provide students with sufficient help. Students can ask teachers for help and guidance at any time when they need help, which provides great convenience.

Ruoku

My art journey has truly flourished thanks to this fantastic art studio! I cannot express how grateful I am to have found such a nurturing and inspiring place to cultivate my creativity. The teachers here are not just educators but genuine artists at heart, and their passion for the craft shines through in every lesson.

Sophia Zhou

Teacher Jason is super awesome! You can learn a lot by doing school coursework and other things in this studio. And you can know exactly what you need to add/add to get a higher score. Super awesome!

Selina Ye

You can learn a lot, and it will be a great help for the transition from high school to college. You will be familiar with some software applications involved in college in advance. The teachers art skills are particularly solid. You can also make friends with like-minded people.

Sabrina L

If you want to apply for college, this must be the best choice. The teacher is patient and meticulous. Know how to maximize my interests. The teacher knows how to guide my own thinking and makes my works even better. The teacher will also try his best to help me communicate with the school where I will apply. Super nice person!

Peggy Wen

Richard Zhang

The studio has an excellent environment and has Chinese and Korean teachers to provide bilingual teaching. The teachers are experienced and friendly. You can learn anything you want, including oil painting, watercolor, colored pencils, sketching, board drawing, and software. The teachers are very kind and cute XD

Miki Zhuang

Learnt a-lot from the digital design classes. The teacher is really good at giving feedback and really goes in detail the features of the software which made it easy and fun to learn.

Lucy Liu

I had a wonderful year with the teachers. The teachers were very patient and taught very well! The studio environment is really great! Simple and clean yet artistic. With the help of teachers, I was admitted to the ideal university__A studio worth studying__

Lempicka Xu

I have studied in TsingMei studio for nearly five years now and it has been a wonderful experience. I have extended my skill set working with different media, such as oil paint, acrylic, watercolour, sketch, colour pencil and other experimental materials. With tutor's help and demonstrations, I have not only achieved high grades at school, but also strengthened my knowledge about art.

Jssica Wang

This is the art studio saved me from thinking whether I could go to university because I had never prepared for a portfolio before and wasn't confident with my art skills at all. The tutor from the studio helped me to be on a right track and it naturally developed my skills. If anyone has a will to do it, I think it is guaranteed for the uni entrance.

Joanne Kim

Super reliable studio! ! ! The teacher will unconditionally support my weird ideas and give super professional advice. The atmosphere in the studio is also very good. Every time I feel unhappy, I go there to paint. I feel at ease when I make a portfolio in there! I have compared many studios before. If I could go back in time, I would still choose Tsingmei.

Isablella Xu

I signed up for a digital media program and it has helped me a lot within the area of editing. it was a very interesting program and i really enjoyed it

Helen

An amazing art studio with friendly but professional tutors. This place has taught me a lot over the years and even helped me prepare for university. They provide great opportunities and resources for all students, outstanding facility and experience overall.

Eric Chen

Very memorable years in Tsingmei. I have learned a range of skills and techniques from the teachers. Lovely drawing atmosphere here. Personalised approach for every senior student. Younger children are also able to try various types of visual art. Professional advice on helping me develop my own ideas and interests. Definitely worth coming!

Chuyue Wang

Very friendly staff with great patience! The studio provides a comfortable yet encouraging environment. They also have all kinds of material and resources for different purposes. A good place for learning and upgrading skills, it is recommended to everyone!

Brenda W

Super awesome studio! I just took a PS class recently. Since it was my first time to come into contact with PS, it was all new to me. But Teacher Wanye is really super patient and the environment is also a super good studio. It is much better than the previous ones. Highly recommended.

Emma Wu

The environment and teachers are very good. The upper limit of what you can learn is very high. There are also extra food supplies. It feels very good. It is also the small studio with the highest living index I have ever seen. But should you consider installing a coffee machine? I watch coffee The consumption is quite fast, and the studio happens to have a kitchen and a refrigerator.

Alan

The courses at Tsingmei Art Studio are very suitable for students. Through learning and training, the school's grades have improved a lot and the portfolio is also very beautiful. The teachers are really attentive in their teachings, and the studio environment and atmosphere are also super good. It is a place where it is easy for people to calm down and paint well. Special thanks to the teachers!

Amy Gao

This is a marvellous studio that will help you immensly in preperation for university, the teachers will ensure that you are equiped with the right skills that will help you tremendsouly in your future courses.

Bonnie Tian

I attended an 5-day course and I learned so much new things. It is a very nice facility with modern appliances and I am very happy that I took this class.

Anderson Chen

The animation course is simple and easy to understand, which is very helpful. It has further improved my mastery of human body proportions and sketching.
