From 30.74 C$ /h

If you know crochet, you can make literally anything you can possibly think of. Its easily a self-taught skill that can be picked up by anyone irrespective of age. However, getting started can be quite tricky.

My classes aims to ease one with their starting troubles and teach the most basic stitches in crochet that is the most commonly used in a variety of crochet patterns and designs. I also don't mind an interactive session wherein assistance is required for crochet videos/tutorials that is hard to follow or just clear basic doubts like correct needle size to used, correct grip, how to count stitches, how to form smooth chains etc. In my experience, crochet is easier when there is someone to practice with alongside and that's exactly what I intend on doing.

About Me

I'm a university student who is looking to make some cash by teaching things i love doing like crochet and python.

Crochet is like a stress buster for me and I always love to crochet meaningful gifts for my friends for their birthdays. I've crocheted a wide range of things since 7th grade. It was completely self taught. From my experience, all one needs is barely 3 - 4 sessions for me to teach all the basic stitches!

Python coding is something I take as a challenge; both to learn and teach. I've been coding since 11th grade and actively practice it even now for my university assignments. I'm used to teaching my classmates and they all suggested I get into the teaching field for it, hence this profile!

Python for Beginners - simple commands, lists, dictionaries, conditional loops, iterative loops, function definition & basic file handling

30.74 C$ /h

Python coding language is the base for most software and tools available right now. My classes aims to teach the most basic commands and functions which can be further used to code python scripts that can carry out specific tasks. I have 5 years of experience coding in python and it has proved to be my greatest asset in my higher studies. It is commonly used in a variety of science and IT.

I prefer interactive sessions wherein doubts are cleared then and there, simple tasks will be assigned to boost critical thinking and see to it that concepts are understood. My main objective is error handling and debugging; a skill extremely important for coders.

Have you ever heard of macrame?
Macrame is a knotting technique that can be used to create many great projects from cotton yarn.

In this course I'll show you online how to get started and how to use the basic knots very quickly. You can make so many projects using these knots: wall hangings, keychains, wall mirrors, hanging baskets...

Just a nice hobby now that you have to spend a lot of time indoors.

If you are curious or just don't feel like watching YouTube tutorials but want to learn macrame from a person, then let me know!
See you soon 😊

My grandmother first taught me how to crochet when I was young, and I picked it up properly after high school. I've now been crocheting for eight years, and haven't needed to buy winter gear since. In the last couple years I've picked up making stuffed animals and amigurumi, good for decorations, kids, ornaments, and more.

Crochet can be seen as a form of creative expression, as individuals can use these skills to make unique and personalised items. From intricate blankets and scarves to delicate lacework and hats, knitting and crochet offer endless opportunities to showcase creativity and individuality. It also helps to keep the mind sharp and stimulated, and improves dexterity. It is also known to promote a sense of calm and relaxation, which can help to reduce stress and anxiety. By focusing on the repetitive movements of knitting or crochet, the mind can enter a meditative state, providing a sense of mental and emotional balance.

If you’ve ever searched for this class and even looked at the description of this lesson, then you’ve probably come across a crochet pattern filled with many symbols that seem complicated, yet they produce an absolutely stunning piece. And maybe you’ve thought that these patterns are only used by professionals who have spent years mastering this craft...

But what if I told you a secret? 👀
You don’t need to be a crochet expert to learn how to read a pattern, it’s quite the opposite! Once you learn to read a pattern, it actually opens the door for you to become more professional and develop your skills!

In fact, if you already know the basic stitches, you’re fully ready to start this lesson.
(And if you don’t yet know the basic crochet stitches, I recommend looking for my lesson titled “Learn Crochet from Scratch!”)

By the end of this lesson, you will:
✅ Learn the basic symbols for each stitch.
✅ Learn how to read a pattern row by row.
✅ Master how to follow the reading direction correctly.
✅ Understand the difference between a written and a charted pattern.
✅ Create a beautiful piece yourself using a ready-made pattern!
