Powered by GoogleI recommend Tamara as an exceptional art instructor. For thirteen years, I have benefited from her expertise and guidance, gaining invaluable insights into my art work that I have found unparalleled elsewhere. Her profound knowledge of art theory and technique is complemented by her remarkable ability to foster individual growth and potential in her students. Tamara's teaching extends across all skill levels, consistently challenging and inspiring her students to reach their full artistic capabilities. Her dedication to nurturing talent and fostering a supportive learning environment is truly commendable. I highly recommend her without reservation.
I’m very excited of the after school program at the Golden Key Art School. The tutoring program gives results in a two month! My son is five years old, he could not read any letters, in two months he already read the sentence! He also improved math a lot. Now he can focus and work by himself and already got his first award at school! Thank you so much guys, you are doing a really great job!!!!!!
The time at Golden Key Art (with Tamara) is 100% Magic. I treasure my time with Tamara. Tamara shares her knowledge and talent freely. Tamara is kind, patient and accommodating Surrounded by beautiful art, listening to tranquil/soothing music - You can't help but feel like an artist. I am looking forward to continuing to learn and grown at Golden Key Art, for years to come .
My child studied russian language at Golden Key Art when she was 5. Then we had to relocate. Two years later, now, i hired a russian tutor who while evaluating my daughter’s level got very impressed how much knowledge she had and still remembered! Very grateful for times at Golden Key Arts and personally for Tamara and Vladimir.
Golden Key Art is an amazing place to both learn and have fun! Our daughter Lola is 8 years old and has been attending art classes here since she was five years old. Her level of painting and drawing is now remarkable. We love how Golden Key Art is based out of a house in a nice residential neighborhood. There is a backyard with a swing set and fun toys. The owners, Tamara Balenko and Vladimir Vasilyev teach the children about art history, which gives them the knowledge and ideas to use for their own work. They also provide home cooked meals and snacks. The children have opportunities to present their work at art shows and galleries. Because of this, a lovely woman came across one of my daughter’s paintings at one of the galleries, and purchased it! Golden Key Art is a gem of an art school. Carrie Halio
