What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Check out the instructor, make sure they teach the complete photography course, not just one way to photograph. Get recommendations from former students if possible.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
Does the class include how to photograph on all camera modes? Will it include post-processing? Is there a textbook? Does the instructor photograph with the students or does he not take a camera so he is there just for the students? Interview the instructor if possible.
