My daughter is autistic and loves drawing. We have been going to Monk's for over a year now and she loves it. Monk makes her feel included and challenges her to try different styles of drawing. He is patient with the children and along with having fun in a safe environment, they also learn to hone their art skills. Monk is an ace human!

We are very grateful to the art club teacher for their professionalism and inspiring lessons. My 15-year-old son truly enjoys the classes and has shown great progress in creativity and confidence. The atmosphere is always friendly and supportive. Thank you for your dedication and excellent teaching!

I have been taking art lesson with Monk for about 9 years now and I have improved so much with my art and have learnt so many things, I always look forward to my art lessons with Monk because I always have a great time and we have many interesting discussions. I would definitely recommend Monk.

My daughter has been taking art lessons with Mr. Monk and I cannot recommend him enough. He is incredibly patient, calm, encouraging and knows how to bring out the creativity in each child. My daughter comes home every week excited and proud of what she’s created. If you are looking for art classes, this is the place to go.

Monk has taught both my children over the years,they think he is brilliant, not only has he taught them new skills and helped them progress with their work in many ways.

He has been an inspirational role model and a trusted person who helped my children feel confident and proud of their own achievements.

I'm so grateful to the lady recommended him to us 6 years ago!

My daughter was taught by Monk for several years and her art improved beyond comparison. He creates a relaxed atmosphere for the students to learn and he has a great knack for cultivating the students’ own style, making the lessons fun and engaging, while imparting vital skills that my daughter will take with her into adulthood.

On top of that, Monk is a good influence on the children. I would highly recommend him!

King Monk studios became my “one stop shop” for all my creative needs and outlets. My friends and I have attended few “Sip & Paint” workshops with Monk and it was an absolute blast. Monk was really great at understanding the different levels we are at and guiding us through the workshop so that we all made the most out of it. He made painting seem so easy and fun, even for people without a single artistic bone in them like us. It was a very relaxing day and it exceeded our expectations of mindful art workshops.
I would definitely recommend King Monk Studios for whatever creative service you need.

I have had the pleasure of knowing and collaborating with Monk for over 25 years. Throughout our tenure, we have partnered on numerous community and educational projects, most notably co-founding and managing a youth art initiative designed to engage young people with the arts.

What stands out most about Monk’s teaching is his incredible versatility. He is a highly skilled educator with the rare ability to teach across multiple disciplines—from traditional fine arts to digital media and sculpture. His methodology is exceptionally effective; he leads through clear, step-by-step demonstrations backed by insightful discussion, ensuring he caters to students of all levels.

Monk is a passionate craftsman who genuinely cares about his learners' progress. I can highly recommend him for anyone seeking elite tuition in a professional, inspiring environment at King Monk’s Studio.

I've know Monk for years... he has been a patient Teacha and very proficient at teaching skills. I've seen him teach young people day in, day out, and has an extra ability to include urban arts into his artistic style. He is also great with charity management and bringing people together.

My children have been attending Monk's classes for the last 3 years, and the improvement in their skills has been incredible. The classes are for children of all ages and abilities, ensuring everyone feels supported and challenged at the right level. The environment is friendly, welcoming, and inclusive. We couldn’t be happier with our experience!

Monk is brilliant with the students- inspiring and motivating and on top of that he is a really nice guy. Highly recommended.

Monk has been art tutor to my daughter for about eight years now. The progress she has made both in skill and confidence is remarkable. Monk is incredibly patient and teaches in a fun, inspiring way that integrates the students’ interests as far as possible.
He is also a very kind and generous person who has gone above and beyond to help my daughter achieve her artistic ambitions. I’d recommend him to anyone looking for a tutor either for their children or themselves.

I highly recommend mr Monk as a wonderful art teacher. He creates a positive and supportive atmosphere where children feel relaxed and confident to express themselves. His clear step-by-step guidance makes every project achievable, while still allowing plenty of room for imagination and individuality
