In Europe Julia has taught in the UK and Italy and designed a project for an International EU funded project with FE & HE partners in Finland, Sweden and Belgium, which was highly successful. In Italy she taught at the Instituto Europeo di Design in Turin, where she co-ordinated a drawing program for the degree design departments.

Recommendations
Recommendations come from relatives, friends and acquaintances of the teacher
Thanks so much for your help Julia! Our sessions gave me that step up that I really needed to get my portfolio and statement together in the nick of time! The focus, encouragement and ideas that came out of sessions together were invaluable.
London Art Portfolio's workspace is welcoming and comfortable which provides a great atmosphere where you can develop your work. (…) I would just like to say I'm really grateful for Julia's time and experience and I'm so pleased to say that I've been accepted by more than one University including my first choice. This would not have been possible without the help of Julia.
Our conversation convinced me that we were dealing with a professional, who had an enormous amount of experience in the field and who would definitely devote her energies to helping Michael to achieve his goals. We knew Michael wouldn't have the experience to put an acceptable portfolio together on his own and this 12 week course at LAP was the best decision we ever took for him to fulfil the first step of his dreams (…) Thank you Julia and your team for your dedication and your enthusiasm
My daughter had lost her inspiration and felt she needed a helping hand to put together a winning portfolio to be able to secure a place at University level. I'm so happy we found Julia, she is extremely experienced and you can feel her inspirational energy as soon as you enter the room. My daughter got her confidence back and made immediate progress. Thanks to Julia, I'm so grateful for giving my daughter that extra little push, whereby she secured a place at Brighton Arts School BA Painting Degree
I forgot that I could paint. I forgot that I could draw. I forgot that I loved to do both. I forgot that I was actually pretty good at both. London Art Portfolio helped me find my creative self again, it helped me learn how to develop my own projects and how to present them properly. Fantastic team, great tutorials, vibrant and inspiring atmosphere. I will be eternally thankful to London Art Portfolio, especially to Julia, for helping me remember
At London Art Portfolio you are encouraged to seek inspiration everywhere, whatever stirs your passion, and afterwards introduced to an imaginative range of materials and techniques to visualise your ideas (…) Besides encouraging me creatively, Julia was a great help if there ever appeared a problem with the applications and helped and guided me through different situations that would have left me with bald patches otherwise.
From my 1:1 tuitions at London Art Portfolio, I've not only reached my goals of getting into Central Saint Martins, but I've broaden my artistic skills and creativity (…) A year ago, getting into the CSM, was just a long distant dream, but now I feel confident to embrace my year ahead on the foundation course. The atmosphere at London Art Portfolio is like no other, and it's a place that I feel like home.
Julia and her team's knowledge and creativity expands over a diverse amount of subjects, and you receive the best possible creative guidance no matter what subject you are focusing on. Julia and the other teacher's enthusiasm was a true inspiration that helped me achieve my very best at London Art Portfolio.
My experience at London Art Portfolio has been more than positive, I would say great! I sincerely thank Julia, our tutor, who, with her professionalism and motivation, has guided me in creating a beautiful Portfolio of Fashion Design. My goal was to be admitted to the London College of Fashion, I knew this would be difficult and that I had to work very hard, given that I originate from a Social Sciences background and I practiced design as a hobby and interest, without qualifications.
