Expert crafter giving knitting lessons near Scranton, PA, with experience teaching children and adults how to knit

Methodology

I use the talk through, walk through method of teaching. I always bring yarn and needles for my student and have a set for myself. I start by explaining the first concept (I break everything down into small chunks) in words. Then I demonstrate the concept slowly. Then I direct the student to perform the first concept. I will do motions with my own yarn at the same time, so the student can look over if they have forgotten how to do it. I am very patient and understand that every person learns differently. I know how to read patterns and can also make up my own designs, so I can give students tips on each. I love knitting and I want to pass on that enthusiasm to my students!
