We asked 2025 Lessonface Teacher of the Year in Crochet and English, Erin R., to share insights into her journey as both a creative maker and language educator. In this Q&A, Erin reflects on what first drew her to crochet and to teaching English as a second language, how she designs an organized and supportive online teaching environment, and the skills she believes are most important for long-term growth in both subjects.
