It’s not impossible to figure out what is worth working on or what techniques to use as a student independent of a teacher’s recommendation. There’s a meta skill of doing this, a kind of way of both observing hints about yourself and what you need, and experimenting. Even with that you might be better served by a teacher who can short circuit experiments to rediscover knowledge, but it’s not irreplaceably essential in all cases.

Are there any teachers that teach this? (Or any other materials on the subject—while it might be mostly domain specific, anything that general which exists seems really useful and worth finding out about, even if it’s only good for getting started.)
