1. Making the first call
So you are ready to make the call to enquire about classes in your area.
Do research; does the studio have a web site? Have a look at it, classes that are offered their policies etc.
Then call.
Not just one, call at least two or three teachers, if you can find two in the area that you are looking at.
Ladies, please be specific when enquiring…
- State in which area or province you are looking for classes eg. Johannesburg Fourways area etc.
- Ask what they charge – please see part on pricing!
- Ask what the teacher’s qualifications are – PLEASE NOTE a certificate means nothing!!! – see article on teacher qualifications
- State any health problems that you might have, including pregnancy – Not all teachers no how to work with pregnant ladies, please be careful, for the health of your baby and for you!
- What to wear to a class
- What is the address – only if you intend on going
- Do they have a web site you can look at?
What can you learn from the teacher’s response to your questions?
Remember that you are speaking to, what should be, a trained professional. She should be patient, friendly and helpful.
First impressions last and speaking to a rude or negative person can tell you a lot about how she will be approaching her classes.
