Review by Jillian
"I met with Sandra at a coffee shop near my house. She was very knowledgeable about crochet and taught me the basics. I tried teaching myself online but it
was so much easier with her sitting right there next to me showing me how to hold the hook and what to do with the yarn.
I will definitely get more instructions from Sandra when I get stuck on a project. I highly recommend her to anyone wanting to learn crochet."

"As I have gotten older I needed something to occupy my free time. I decided I wanted to learn to crochet and knit so I could make stuff for my grand babi
es. I found Sandra' information online and I couldn't be more satisfied with her teaching abilities. I learned basic crochet techniques and when I feel more comfortable I will definitely be giving her a call."

About Pam
Hello,
My name is Pam.
My educational background is a mixture of biology (and the other sciences) and humanities (political science, comparative studies, and anthropology). Throughout my educational career, I have always made myself available to tutor other students in courses that I have previously performed well. It is my goal to have you understand the subject fully so that you can use it later on in life, especially when it applies to something you are interested in. I have a little over 5 years of experience with one-on-one tutoring, and about 3 years working in group sessions of up to 5 people.

About Mathew
I have been coaching chess for years. I have been passionately studying the game of chess for 13 years. I am currently a 1987 USCF player (Class A player). My highest rating was 2121 for chess.com blitz rating. But I am committed to go to 2200+ USCF player (National Master player). I have won several chess tournaments as well. I recently won the 2018 Philadelphia Open Chess Tournament.
I am currently coaching several students to go above and beyond their expectations. If you hire me as your coach, I will take you above and beyond your expectations in the game of chess. My coaching style is hands on, which means that I provide move by move feedback. My coaching philosophy is grounded in encouragement and meticulous game review. My one student that I have been coaching for 2 years went from never playing chess to a 1350 USCF chess rating

About Sandra
Crochet is a fun and portable craft that keeps your mind and hands busy. Since the early 80's, I have been crocheting and knitting although I am much more proficient in crochet.
I feel like I am a successful teacher since I have an easy going, friendly manner that helps take the stress away from learning a new skill. I like to meet my students in person in the safety of a public place like a coffee shop or library near their home.
I think it helps to be present and able to see how the student is holding the hook and yarn and help them make any adjustments if needed. It's also nice to be able to give encouragement and any suggestions when I'm sitting right next to a student.
I will bring extra hooks and yarn for you to practice with, plus written tips and cheat sheets. All you have to do is show up and have fun learning to

About Katie
My first knitting student was my mom! Hey, my name is Katie. I'm looking forward to meeting you and helping you fall in love with knitting!
I loved teaching my mom knitting because she taught me so many different skills and I enjoyed spending time with her and teaching her something new. In college, I started a knitting club with my roommate and we knit in the library on the weekends. I taught my friends how to knit their first hats, scarves, and pot holders.
I love to knit, crochet, run, make jokes, and get to know people. I can't wait to meet you! I'm easy going but I will also challenge you to knit and crochet well. I look forward to checking out what projects you'd like to create!

HI, I'm a self-taught designer and decided to follow my passion after being pushed by others who love my work. After helping many friends and family members decorate and create their unique spaces. I wanted to help others have a wonderful space to return to.
I have worked with about every kind of style and nothing scares me. I have the ability to create and teach others to be bold. Your home and office should reflect who you are. You also don't have to break the bank in doing so. I have taken garage sale finds and turned them into beautiful pieces. There are certain elements that you must have in any room to make it complete, and I know how to do this.
I also can organize every room in your home to help you save time in your everyday life.
I hope to meet you soon.
