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."

"Kaitlin was very patient with me and helped me to understand the basics of crocheting. Taking a class in person instead of online is definitely the way to
go as crocheting is a very hands on and detail oriented task!"

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 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
