Jennifer's classes are fun, creative and educational. The children loved getting stuck in to the projects they were being taught and Jennifer was very passionate about fashion and sharing her joy with them. my daughter can't wait to come to another class!

Lorenzo wrote: "Jennifer was a big and positive influence on my childhood. She managed to turn boring days and activities into great fun, making me completely change my mood, at a time when I was very picky about what I found fun. I will forever remember her helping me draw and colour football pitches whenever she would pick me up from school, an activity which ultimately became something I would look forward to every time with great joy. Jennifer was also really important in teaching me Spanish over a period of about two years, encouraging me to read and helping me out with it, which largely set the basis for my knowledge of the language, which has then massively helped me throughout the rest of my life. She was truly really helpful in giving me a big thirst for knowledge and interest in various passions, at a time when I was very reluctant to try new stuff, which have massively shaped what my life"

Francesco said: "Jennifer was my babysitter for around 5 years when I was just a little kid. She played and drew with me, it is also thanks to her that I started learning the basics of English. I cannot remember a time when she yelled at me as she was always calm and gentle. So overall I can confidently say that she is very talented in teaching creativity whilst having fun"

From Our CourseFrancesco
Jennifer was my first true English teacher. She was amazing! She helped me master the language after having basically started from zero. After learning with her when I was a kid through fun games, I was easily able to achieve great grades in an international school, while only speaking English. Jennifer was able to make learning English fun and worthwhile and to this day I still use her lessons from time to time when I speak

my story

Hello, I’m Jennifer Somoza, and my journey from architecture to fashion has been nothing short of exhilarating. While architecture in Venezuela was fulfilling, my heart longed for the world of fashion. So, I made the bold move to study in Rome, Italy, where I was captivated by the artistry of Italian-tailored and haute couture.
 
During my studies, necessity led me to seek part-time employment. Drawing upon my experience as a babysitter during an exchange program in the US, I found the confidence in tutoring children in Rome. Over six enriching years, I worked with children aged 4 to 11, Taught them languages, and engaged them in after-school activities, creating long-lasting memories along the way.
 
Post-graduation, I embarked on a global adventure, immersing myself in different cultures, and fashion scenes, participating in shows, and doing exhibitions and workshops for adults in the places I visited. Now, settled in the UK with my newborn daughter, I’m fueled by her inspiration to blend my passion and expertise in fashion with my children’s teaching experience. Thus, I have found my fashion project; after-school workshops where kids can learn sewing skills and unleash their creativity with each project.
