I absolutely agree with you here. Learning from a good teacher can really make a big difference. You will learn things at a much greater speed than if you start alone. But, sadly, it's not always easy to find such kind of teacher. I have met so many teachers in my life who only think about teaching as a job, and simply don't care about the students that much. Based on my experience, i have hardly found 5% of the teachers who are really good at what they do. If you can't find such kind of teacher, it's best to start on your own :)
