What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Figure out what you want to learn... Styles of teachers are not one size fits all. Learn building blocks it may not seem that interesting but once you know those skills you are set for life... Verse Just learning one or two recipes. Some may want to teach you preplaned standard recipes formats. that is fine if you have to teach alot of people at one time. But for one on one and very small private group it should be taylored to your needs. Most of all and this is very important! It should be fun!
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
You need to know what you wish to acomplish do just want to learn how to just make a dessert? or do you really want to learn how to cook and to what level? how much time do you have? and how fast do you want to learn? are you a good cook but want to learn a different style of cooking?
