Timothy Jahn is an exceptional teacher who I highly recommend.. Some of Tim’s teaching strengths include an innate ability to figure out where a student's weaknesses are and find efficient, simple exercises for methodically working through and improving them. Tim very much meets students where they are at in their artistic development. Tim also possesses a wide range of knowledge and interests about many different types of art and learning styles, and is capable of guiding students in their individual goals as an artist. He is a creative thinker and thrives on encouraging students to think outside the box and push themselves as individuals. He is capable of working with students both young and old, at all skill levels. Tim also is a generous support for students working through tough milestones of artistic development. Tim brings a teaching enthusiasm and diversity that I have never experienced with any other teacher. He is both the most fun and most challenging teacher I’ve ever had; he provides an exciting and amusing teaching environment but will also push you hard when the tasks get difficult. This is because he desires so deeply to help students reach their full potential. You cannot find a more giving, collaborative, capable and hilarious art teacher. If you are looking to improve your drawing skills, color mixing skills, paint handling and application skills, or to discover what skills you are capable of then I highly suggest instruction from Timothy Jahn.

My apprenticeship with Timothy Jahn was an overall positive and fulfilling experience. His teaching method was well-structured and regimented, which was exactly what I was looking for. I also felt supported creatively and motivated to challenge my skills and push myself daily. The best part was being able to experience the daily growth in visual understanding and seeing the development of skill in each mark I made. The confidence he exhibited in his artistic skills and enthusiasm for developing strong concepts for his own studio practice was also very inspiring. S. Taffari Crawford

Mr. Timothy is a good mentor for us. I used to get others’ help for my work and I believed that to be my comfort zone. But Mr. Timothy made me realise that I should break out of that comfort zone and start to count on myself to be independent and confident. He is an inspiring positive thinker and always guides us to be positive. His teaching techniques are amazingly unique so that we get to understand the concept and facts properly. He always makes us explore new things. I believe I still have a lot of things to learn from him. And, yes, he's sarcastic, but in a good way of course. He's the best teacher I've ever met. Nuwani

Tim Jahn has had a profound impact on my life, both as an artist and as a person. There is only one other person I can say this about, and that is the famed artist and teacher Michael Aviano. Tim taught his students the skills to become excellent artists. He not only instilled in us technical skills, but thinking and problem solving skills as well. These skills are often overlooked by many schools and I believe that each artist must possess them to create freely. Tim also instilled in us a sense of always driving forward, to always keep pursuing our goals, no matter how hard it gets. I am convinced that had it not been for Tim Jahn's influence, I would not be the artist I am today. I feel that the artwork of those who have been taught by Tim have works that stand out from the rest of the drawings and paintings one finds in the art world today. I have had the great good fortune to have been taught by Tim Jahn. I will always be indebted to him. Roger Long

My experience with Timothy Jahn was a great adventure. Tim has taught me Drawing and Painting for four years. He inspired me to continue working hard and keep trying until success is achieved. He has been an outstanding teacher that challenged his students and myself to excel, not only in art but in many other aspects of life. His way of tutoring has made me a responsible person and an even better Fine Artist. All I want to say is ‘’Thank you very much for everything, Tim! “

As a former student I am pleased to say that Timothy has not only been a great instructor but a great friend as well. Throughout my time under his supervision, I have learned valuable lessons on mastering fine art as well as handling real-life situations. Through his dedication when producing and teaching fine art, I have been inspired to model the way I approach not just my art, but also my view on living a life which is true to myself. My most valuable lesson learned from Tim is to be true to myself and never compromise that for what others suggest me to be. Carmel Gumbs
