“Dear Miss Hunter. I just wanted to say THANK YOU. I’m currently working as Production Manager for a children's wear line, doing everything from concept to production. I use Photoshop and Illustrator all day, every day and there’s literally nothing I cannot do thanks to the detailed level of skills you taught us in our classes.”

"Extreme knowledge in all facets of fashion, very pleasant, and patient. I have used tutors for 10 years and quite often they are very knowledgeable but just can’t teach. Victoria is highly knowledgeable and an amazing teacher. Victoria is truly special because it is rare to find someone that listens. The combination of a tutor that is knowledgeable, can teach and listens is the most efficient with the best results. In 10 years I have only come across 2 and Victoria is one of them."
- Margaret
