• Which area of Orlando, Florida do you live in ? (We don't currently consider teachers who live outside of this area, as the commute isn't ideal in a driving job)
• What is your current availability for teaching? (For example, Mondays 10am-4pm, Tuesdays, etc)
• Most of our students are piano students.

(We can provide additional training for this as long as you have had some experience learning piano before)
