Describe a recent event you are fond of.
Thoroughly enjoyed a milestone birthday on same day/place as my small art show, was overjoyed to have many of my attending friends take home purchases that day. Compliments ranged from from "One for me, one for a gift" to "Your art is so much prettier in real life, online does not do it justice". Best birthday gift I could ask for! Also the last time my mother traveled here, and last time I got to hug a friend whos since passed. So it was precious in many ways.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
I have several areas that I can assist in from creative software, apps and resources to several art /craft styles and mediums, as well as tutor in English, grammar.
So hard to advise over all here.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
Desired outcome, art styles they enjoy, and ultimately who will receive final product.
