Private coaching?

[Goodness]

Has anyone ever sought out private coaching while a student? I had some personal crises in November and December and did not practice massage during that time. I had already felt I was behind in the progress of my technique even before then, and now I feel my work really lags behind other members of my class. (I am one year into an 18-month program.)

I'm thinking about finding a really good practitioner who could spend some one-on-one time with me helping me upgrade my basic technique. I need more than just extra practice on a fellow student or friend: I need review of specific techniques to make sure I'm doing them right.

Any suggestions on seeking out coaching ... or other ideas? :?:

Does your school have a tutor list? Maybe some of the teachers tutor in off hours. The one thing I would be careful about is that if its not someone connected to your school that they have the same ideas about how to do massage. Maybe look for someone who graduated from your school. I think you have the right idea. I did a couple tutor sessions because my school requires them and I did pick up on some things that where not clear to me before. Good Luck, hope someone on here will have a specific name for you.

I agree with SeatleSunshine. Maybe you could even get one of your technique teachers to tutor you. That is offered at my school, and it really is amazing what a concentrated one on one session can do for you.

Could you sit in for some time with another class that is learning what you missed?
