Great points Ed!

Some teachers have a one size fits all approach. Some are better at explaining or diagnosing problems. As was mentioned above, for some it comes so naturally that they can't really explain HOW to do something. A good student of mine used to come back to work with me during breaks from college. He had many questions and we would engage in deep discussions about various techniques and different approaches. He was often frustrated that his college teacher would sometimes tell him "just go home and figure it out"

Years ago a repairman I met in NY told me "finding the right teacher is like finding a spouse". While some teachers are highly regarded, it can be about finding the right fit for the player. Each has their own approach.
