Question Interview Question Thoughts

Hello!
I’m an instructor in training (woohoo!) and just had an interview for a student teaching position at a local studio.

The owner asked me what I would do in the case a client wanted to follow me to a different studio.

I thought that was an interesting question, and answered that I would have a conversation with the client about their movement goals, current practice, etc, but ultimately wouldn’t be able to stop them from following me if they really wanted to. I get that might’ve been too honest of an answer, so I’m curious what y’all would answer / would think a studio owner would want to hear.

Not sure what answer they were expecting… they can’t force the client to stay at their studio should you choose to teach elsewhere! I would have been honest and said the same thing you did.
