What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Embrace the process and enjoy being pushed outside of your comfort zone, becuase that's where the improvment is. I am not doing my job if you are not making mistakes, so don't get discouraged. My job is to identify your flaws and develop a prescription to improve them.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
What's your end goal, and is the person developing you equipped to assist you in getting there?
