What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Do your homework and shop around. Find a pro that has a proven record and that you can relate to. There has to be a fit between the both of you. Make sure that he is Certified at the highest level and current with his certifications! Talk to the parents that worked with the pro you have in mind. See if their happy with the results! Look at the students and see if they are being taught proper stroke mechanics.
