Qualified to teach fashion design, pattern cutting, & basic sewing skills & I also teach at another training centre. I have been working with emerging fashion designers who are looking to establish themselves within the clothing industry, helping to establish their range men's & ladies' wear from sportswear to evening wear in which I help to develop the concept to finish garments, making & sewing the first samples until it goes into full production. I also provide small video clips for clients when needed, plus I give handouts and assign homework tasks to each learner. I coach students who may be taking exams within fashion & design, who are in need of help and advice in completing their course work, from diploma to masters. I am happy teaching at all levels, from someone who wants to make for themselves to high-level students. - What kind of experience do you have? Over 25 years + working for very noted high-end designers, and also owning and running my own design clothing shop. - Do you have an up-to-date DBS (Disclosure & Barring Service, formerly CRB) Certificate? Not yet, but if needed it can be obtained. - Where and with whom did you train? London School of Fashion. - Tell me about some of your current students. Currently, I am coaching two students online both are in the middle of completing a diploma in fashion design.
