To qualify all this, I will say that trial lessons, while absolutely very important, do not always serve the function that students expect. A trial lesson will NOT demonstrate whether or not someone is a “good teacher.” It will NOT be a reliable indicator of how much you’ll like them in the long run. And it may not be representative of what lessons with them are usually like.

All that said, it is crucial to check on basic compatibility. If a teacher’s way of working doesn’t make sense to you at first, it’s possible that may never change.
