Meeting one-on-one with a teacher for guidance

Meeting on occasion with a guiding teacher can help a student get a good start, navigate challenging times, or talk about sensitive subjects. Over time, as the teacher gets to know the student, and vice versa, the practice advice can be adapted to the student’s individual needs and aims.

Anyone at any level of practice is welcome to schedule a meeting. The meetings with teachers at Dekeling are free. As has traditionally been the case, our teachers receive a very modest stipend for their work. Currently, Teacher George is welcoming all new students and meetings.
