Sewing Teacher Application
Overview: We are seeking an enthusiastic and experienced Sewing Teacher to teach a variety of sewing techniques, pattern making and garment construction to students of all skill levels.
Note: A solid understanding of sewing techniques is essential, while only a basic knowledge of pattern making is required. Regular training on our curriculum, including pattern making, will be provided. However, candidates with additional pattern making expertise may be eligible for a higher starting salary after the probation period.

Key Responsibilities & Skills Needed:
• Teaching Fundamentals: Guide students from basic to advanced sewing skills, including pattern making and fabric selection.
• Teaching Experience: Previous teaching experience or a proven ability to mentor and guide learners is preferred.
