Great Instructor!

I'm learning to block fabric, pin and cut muslin the right way, and fit a commercial pattern. After several years of diy - cutting a pattern and getting mixed results, I am really enjoying learning how to approach a garment with a solid foundation. Calvin is a talented and can meet you where you are -- which I find efficient and helpful.

Knowledge and patient tutor

My daughter wants to do fashion designing and we wanted help for her with her college portfolio. Calvin guided her with the designs. He has good knowledge and understanding of fashion designs. He patiently guided my daughter. She is very happy with his teaching technique and would recommend whoever wants to go to this field. We want to thank Calvin for his wonderful service and we give him full 5 stars.

Knowledgeable and Patient tutor

I currently been working with Calvin on Runway Croquis illustrations with watercolor. At first, I was quite skeptical due to my lack of experience .However, Calvin has been more than patient and has helped me improve my skills set in such quick amount of time . He gives you a lot of critiques that not only help you improve your ideas, but also allows you to aim higher with your vision. It's not easy to find tutors who specialize in fashion , so I highly recommend working with him. He's worth the investment!!

Very skilled and patient tutor

Calvin is teaching me fashion illustration and he is really helpful. He's very patient, explains things well, and he really knows a lot about what he's teaching. He's also a very caring tutor, always letting me ask questions even outside of class, giving me lots of advice about the fashion industry, and critiquing my work. I've improved so much just in the last month by taking his classes, so I highly recommend doing tutoring with him.

Experienced & knowlegable

Calvin is the real deal. As a highly-skilled & multi-faceted designer in the fashion industry, He understood our vision right away & began expert instruction on how to execute our products perfectly. He also shared his vast experience & resources to help us start our new venture successfully. Calvin is professional, extremely knowledgeable, and a pleasure to learn from & work with. My biz partner & I intend to continue working with Calvin as much as possible, as we are beyond thrilled to start our new business under his tutelage!

Very knowledgeable - will work together again

I was initially nervous about how virtual sewing and pattern making lessons would go, but I didn't need to be! After an initial interview/in-take session we created a learning plan to address my knowledge gaps so that I can be a confident sewer and make what I want to make! We're starting with a lined top, then utility pants/joggers, and then a simple jacket, next a more complex lined jacket. I'm so thrilled! I knew right away that I had selected the correct tutor--even though it was virtual he could easily and immediately see fitting issues, I think this is because he's worked in the industry for so long.

Well-mannered, professional mentor

Calvin walked me through the beginning of pattern making a box pleat skirt, while sharing valuable knowledge and tips along the way. I would 100% recommend Calvin to any prospective clients looks for a tutor or mentor.

Patient, Well-experienced & Passionate.

Calvin and I worked on a tailored Jacket dress through the various stages of draping and pattern drafting. He was quick to understand what I needed help with and knew exactly how to achieve the desired look & fit. Not only did he help with the practical work, but was also willing to explain other things to me so that I could note them down for future reference. I will definitely be working with Calvin again!

Highly Recommended

I worked with Calvin on learning the basics on a pants sloper. He was thorough and easy to understand. I finished the lesson understanding the process which is exactly what I wanted to know. I would highly recommend Calvin to any student who is a fashion design major.
