I would have thought adults would be easier- but maybe they are more demanding,

I taught for years, and the worst students were adults. I stopped taking them. They have a very definite idea about what they think you should be teaching, and if they played in the past, they are very resistant to changing technique or bad habits. They don't practice regularly, and they don't learn as well. Even adult materials tend to bore them-- if they are beginners they want to immediately be able to sit down at parties and astound their friends.
I only had one fairly advanced mom and she was ok, but her three kids were DEMONS and I had to let them go after one spit at me and the others threw darts into the walls.
You don;t spit, right?
