Louisa began her journey at the Fashion Technology Academy (FTA) in London as a Level 2 Pattern and Stitching student, followed by Level 3 Tailoring. Throughout her studies, she demonstrated exceptional commitment, determination, and a strong desire to grow. Her dedication and positive attitude left a strong impression on the FTA team. As a result, we offered Louisa a technician role in January 2025, and we are extremely pleased to announce that she is now a qualified Level 3 Stitching teacher.
Louisa Christodolou commented: “I am pleased to have passed my Level 3 Award in Education and Training. Matthew Reynolds from the Education & Training Academy has been incredibly supportive throughout the past few months; he is very knowledgeable and professional. Thanks to Matthew, I have been able to apply the skills and knowledge I gained in the last unit and put them into practice. I strongly recommend the Education & Training Academy to anyone interested in doing a course in teaching, assessing, or IQA.”
Lan Leeder, Head of Education at FEL/FTA, said: “I highly recommend the Education and Training Academy to anyone starting their learning journey in teaching or looking to gain a solid foundation in education. Education and Training Academy has been very supportive and professional throughout the training.
“Last year, Louisa enrolled in a teaching course with another provider, but the company went into liquidation. We reached out to several teaching providers to find a way to continue the training. Thankfully, Matt Reynolds from the Education and Training Academy stepped in and supported Louisa in completing the course. They have been amazing and very professional throughout the last few months. Today, Louisa completed her Level 3 Award in Education and Training and is now a qualified Level 3 tutor.”
Matthew Reynolds, from Education and Training Academy, said: “Louisa has been a pleasure to support throughout her Level 3 Award in Education and Training. We have been delighted with the effort, commitment and professionalism she has shown during the course. What stood out was her willingness to embrace new approaches, reflect on her own practice and try different teaching methods to improve the learner experience. She developed the confidence to introduce PowerPoint resources into her sessions and use them effectively alongside her practical industry knowledge.
“Louisa’s background in fashion, pattern cutting and tailoring gives her a strong foundation, and it is clear that the support and opportunities provided by the Fashion Technology Academy have helped her develop into a confident and capable tutor. She is a credit to FTA, and I am delighted to see her achieve the qualification. I wish her every success as she continues to support the next generation of fashion and tailoring learners.”
