Crochet Teacher (Part-Time)

Crochet Teacher (Part-Time) — Saturdays, Melville

Sew & Grow is a well-established sewing school in Melville, Johannesburg, with 40+ years of teaching experience and over 10,000 students taught. We're now expanding into crochet, and we're looking for a skilled, passionate crochet teacher to lead our new Saturday classes.

About the role

You'll teach crochet to students of all levels — from complete beginners picking up a hook for the first time, to more advanced crocheters refining their craft. This is a hands-on, in-person teaching role in a warm, encouraging studio environment.

What you'll do

• Teach crochet to students of all levels, from absolute beginner through to advanced
• Guide students through foundational stitches, reading patterns, shaping, and finishing
• Teach a variety of projects — accessories (scarves, beanies, bags), amigurumi, blankets and granny squares, and ideally wearable garments
• Help students read and follow written patterns and choose the right yarn and hooks
• Support students working at different paces with patience and encouragement

What we're looking for

• Solid, demonstrable crochet experience — you can show examples of what you've made
• A high level of crochet skill and competency. This is essential and non-negotiable, as you'll be teaching others
• The ability to teach from beginner level all the way through to advanced
• Confidence reading and following written crochet patterns
• Teaching or mentoring experience is preferred, but not essential
• Patience, clear communication, and a genuine passion for teaching
• This is an on-site role in Melville — you must be able to commute to the studio easily (ideally you live within roughly 10km)

Schedule & location

• Part-time, on-site at our Melville studio
• 3 hours every Saturday. The session will likely run in the morning, but the exact time (morning or afternoon) will be confirmed with the successful candidate — so you'll need to be available on Saturdays

Compensation

• R600 per session (each session is a 3-hour Saturday class)
• Additional compensation will be discussed at interview

Trial & probation

There is a paid trial period (likely up to one week), followed by a probation period. Full particulars are discussed at the interview.
