What do you think about it? Anyone got the same experience?

To be honest, it depends on your style of learning.

Are you a self-motivated type? Do you thrive on setting your own schedule and doing your own thing? If so, you'd probably do fine without a teacher.

Other people "need" a teacher to keep them on the right track and to stay motivated. However, even if you're not that type of person, you could still certainly benefit from the help.

There's no wrong answer. Would you say you're "uncertain" about the direction you're going in?
