Crafts & Hobbies Lesson Reviews from Students
Students are raving about their Crafts & Hobbies instructors on TakeLessons. Check out some of these recent reviews.
Review by Mercedes Gilliom
"I am so happy that I found Mya! I had a very enjoyable lesson with Mya at her home. Mya is a very good teacher, with sensitivity to the particular needs
of the student. Mya taught me pattern-making. She did so in a way that allowed me to first observe, then practice what I had observed. I came away with a usable pattern to make an item no longer available in stores.
Whether you are new to sewing or need help in developing new skills, you will find Mya able to meet you at your sewing level and you will end the lesson with enthusiasm for sewing and looking forward to your next lesson!!"

Review by Laura
"My lesson both met my needs and also some of my highest hopes for it. My goal was to have an in home lesson to get me and my daughters started on our
new sewing machine. I was a bit nervous choosing an instructor to invite into my home, especially based on just an online profile and without the security of a known sewing organization (not even sure sewing lesson organizations exist- I couldn't find one!). I felt pretty secure going through Take Lessons as it provided a type of screening process. But I was also happy that I pushed a bit by directly contacting (via the Take Lessons email feature) an instructor listed as outside my geographic radius. It turns out she was not too far and willing to travel to us so Take Lessons arranged it.
Marlisa was a great match for us due to her interest in Waldorf and working with children. She brought samples of her handmade dolls to inspire us and easily set up my machine and got me comfortable with the basics. She explained clearly and made sure I tried everything so I would remember.
We didn't do any projects yet but it was a worthwhile investment to get us comfortable with the machine. I can't say how wonderful it was to have her come to my own home and work with us in such a relaxed fashion making it possible to learn this new skill in this hectic world without dragging everyone to another "lesson". Next week I will ask her to focus on teaching my 8 year old. Thanks Take Lessons for this helpful service! Marlisa is great!"

About Siddharth
Hi there, my name is Siddharth and I have been teaching chess in public and private schools, including private lessons, over the last three years.
I love to see students grow with each lesson and accomplish their goals. Under my tutelage, I have helped students advance from beginner level to tournament level competition. Recently, two of my students have won in their respective tournaments.
I attended De Monte Fort University in England and earned my degree in Textile Technology and Business Management in 1976. Since then I have been fortunate to be able to travel worldwide.
I enjoy teaching children of all ages, as well as adults. My philosophy is to make chess a fun experience while improving my students' technical skills.
I look forward to helping you reach your goals.

Whether you want to begin knitting or crocheting, or already love to, there’s always something new to learn. I love all aspects of knitting and crochet - color, texture, and creation. And I love sharing all this with my students. I personally enjoy the math of it, and can help make it easy if math is not your “thing”.
Would you like to learn basic skills, hone current ones , or enhance your experience with new techniques? If you're in the middle of a project and need help, or have specifice technique(s) you'd like to work on, consider booking a 15 minute class, or a series of them.
Choose from these subjects, or tell me what you’d like to work on:
• Reading the Yarn Ball Band - Why the information on it is helpful and important
• How to use Ravelry - A knitting community full of useful information
• Fiber Math…Yes you can

- How to understand gauge and yarn weights/quantities.
• How to Read and Translate Charts
• Help with a Current Project – Understanding a pattern, technique, or correcting a mistake
• Knitting Lace and Openwork Basics – How to do increases and decreases
• Bead Crochet – Crochet necklaces and bracelets, or embellish knitting or crochet projects with beads.
• Hyperbolic Crochet – For those that love math or want to learn how to crochet curves from a flat surface (think of coral, or the edge of a curly lettuce leaf like kale)
• Your wish list of knitting or crochet skills…
I have been teaching since 2012 and am available to teach lessons online and in NYC. I learned teaching skills from some of the most loved and respected teachers in well-known stores, teaching venues, and events. I look forward to working with you to achieve your goals, and have fun while we work together. As an added bonus, I teach both right and left handed as needed. Do you need a time, place, or topic not listed here? Just ask. We can probably work something out.
