Tatyana Timofeeva - stylist, blogger and founder of the School of Shopping. To find at least some information about heroin on the Internet, except for the one that she wrote herself, is almost impossible. Unfortunately, reviews about the "School of Shopping" are also provided only on the official website and all of them are positive. Are the courses really good, will be described in this article.
about the author
All the information that was found about Tatyana Timofeevna is on her personal website, so it is not possible to find out if they are true or not. A shopper with 15 years of experience looks very neat and really stylish. This can be seen in the photo on the school’s Instagram. What can not be said about Tatiana’s personal account. In the photographs there is no aesthetics that a professional stylist should have.
The blogger has education: she is a stylist and an image psychologist, although Tatyana does not apply where she studied, referring to the fact that she does not want to advertise the institution. This seems strange, since people who have bought courses have the right to know where the teacher studied.
The stylist also has a family. This is her husband, whom she loves to talk about. By the way, according to Tatyana’s description, he is an oligarch who provides her with beautiful clothes.
Student reviews
Everyone can dress well, but not all is great. ShS uses approximately such a slogan. One of the students assures that, having passed her courses, you can learn to dress fashionably and really stylishly. And most importantly, Tatyana is not an easy teacher-theorist, a blogger dresses many people from the Forbes list. Again, this information is taken from the page of Timofeeva herself.
The numerous reviews about the "School of Shopping" that are on the school's website are almost the same, and they are all positive. Of course, any blogger does not like negative comments, but they are always there, and Tatyana is no exception. Starting to search for information on the Internet, you can understand that positive reviews end on Tatyana's official pages.
Free info
On Instagram, Tatyana writes posts in which she shares her observations, fashion trends and useful recommendations. In addition, you can find free lessons, which are a trial version of the "School of Shopping." Reviews of them, however strange it may be, are negative.
It would seem that in order to interest the buyer, it is necessary to show him something unusual. Tatyana does not think so, for example, the lesson “Selection of cut and styles” was created from the foundations that are available on the Internet in the public domain. For example, to adjust the wide hips, it is necessary to abandon the textured material in favor of light silhouettes. You can also distract your eyes from the lack, putting on a bright top, throwing a jacket or cardigan. Exactly the same advice will come first in the search engine if you ask the question: “How to hide wide hips?”.
But in addition to negative reviews, many write that there are still interesting points that can be gleaned from free videos. Also a plus is that the information is structured and located in one place.
Early work
15 years is a rather long period, and, of course, during this time a lot has changed at the School of Shopping. Reviews confirm this. Previously, Tatyana conducted her courses offline, and they cost 15 thousand rubles in 2 days. And as students of the time noted, it was really good. In those days when the Internet was not an encyclopedia on any issue, Timofeeva was delighted to talk about how to choose the right wardrobe in accordance with the dress code. She also produced sensible content.
After Tatyana changed her direction and went into free swimming, many became disappointed in her and stopped monitoring her work.
SH stylists
The "School of Shopping" by Tatyana Timofeeva did not always consist of one leader. It turns out that the story began with a team of 5 people, which ultimately fell apart with a huge scandal.
Karina Henri, one of the stylists, decided to leave the “School of Shopping”, which she notified her “customers” about. But she taught according to the methods of Timofeeva, so Tatyana naturally did not like this situation. Therefore, she published a long post about how she was betrayed, and accused her girls, with whom she worked for a long time, of mediocrity. From that moment, “Shopping School” by Tatyana Timofeeva became a personal brand.
But, as it turned out, not everything is so simple here. All the members led the group, so there were unique posts written by stylists, but Tatyana said that these were her personal publications. And she put the names of others only to increase the level of competence in the eyes of subscribers and buyers of courses. Then reasonable questions arise: "Why then recruit mediocrity in your business?" and “Why can’t they be taught if the motto of the courses is that anyone can be taught?”
“School of Shopping”: basic course
The online courses that Tatyana switched to are in great demand, which is why the price for them is growing all the time, although, as noted in the reviews, the program does not change.
45 thousand for the basic course that Tatyana offers, and this is 250% more than a year and a half ago. One of the students looked at the program and concluded that it did not change much, unlike the price.
The courses of stylists at the "School of Shopping" have the following program:
- Lesson 1-2. Colors. It talks about what warm and cold shades are. The same was taught for 17 thousand.
- Lesson 3. Coloring. This lesson flashed many times in free access.
- Lesson 4. Color types. This generalized knowledge, taken from 1-3 lessons, was also provided for free on Tatyana’s YouTube channel.
- Lesson 5. Cut and styles. It talks about logical things, a huge plus is that everything is in one place. Was in previous versions of the course.
- Lesson 6. Basic wardrobe. Here are excerpts of famous stylists, all information is in the public domain.
- Lesson 7. Jewelry. "School of Shopping" managed to "pack" a lesson on accessories into a rather boring monologue, as noted in the reviews.
- Lesson 8–9. So do not wear. An example of things and styles that have long become an anti-trend. The lesson was available in the previous versions of the course and, as the students noted, everything was obvious from the category “they no longer wear the skin of animals on their naked bodies”.
Course Update
Of course, everyone understands that the classes correspond with each other, since Tatyana herself at the old lessons does not look fashionable anymore, the format of the narrative itself is not relevant. At the same time, the essence of the information has not changed, there are no new chips that would justify the price increase by almost 3 times.
By the way, a remarkable fact, the plans of the "School of Shopping" men's wardrobe. It will really be an interesting course, which is a rarity in the modern world. It is very curious to find out what Tatyana will tell about such a direction as the wardrobe of men, and even more interesting how much it will cost.
In one of the lessons, which is most discussed in the reviews, it is said that a warm kit can be obtained by adding yellow or orange colors, and a cold one if blue or blue. This information is known to absolutely everyone who is even a little familiar with art. Perhaps this is the fact that angers the students. But as they say, demand creates supply. And if Tatyana broadcasts about such understandable things, then someone does not know this.
Is it bad school
Before deciding whether to buy courses from Tatyana or not, you need to familiarize yourself with her work - subscribe to Instagram and read a few weeks of its publication. If they do not like and do not charge for the purchase, then it is best to refuse such an idea. But if a person is on the same wavelength as a stylist, then the “School of Shopping” was created just for him. Here is a list of questions that you need to answer yourself before you take any course:
- Does the school have an education license?
- What did the teacher graduate, what is his education?
- What is the teacher’s experience and how is this confirmed?
- What achievements do students have after completing the courses? You can find out by visiting their pages on social networks.
- Are purchased materials stored forever?
- Is the information provided in the free format clear?
- Can a student afford such a cost without limiting his budget?
- What document will be received upon graduation?
That's all, whether or not to consider this information as a disclosure of the "Shopping School" is for everyone to choose (just like paying for courses from Tatyana Timofeeva or not).
