After school lessons

[HoneyFlowers]

My child sees someone after school for a lesson once a week. The teacher can be a bit intense at times, but during the last lesson the teacher was in a bad mood, impatient and acting slightly bizarre and out of character, being quite direct and snappy with my child. I apologised to my child afterwards and feeling quite upset about it. We pay good money for this teacher. Would you chalk it up as a one off or go elsewhere immediately? I get everyone has a bad day.

Depends how out of character you feel it was, and depends how bothered your dc was.
Also of course, how specialised the teacher is.
If it is a piano teacher, you are probably likely to be able to find another piano teacher by asking around. If it is a harp teacher, then there are a lot rarer, and your options might be limited.
If it is a 7 yr old you are hoping to instill with a love of whatever it is they are learning, then you are in a different position from if they are a 17 yr old getting some top up tutoring for an A Level.

Thank you for your wise words, much appreciated x
