Hi, if You can't find any teachers locally, an option is to have skype lessons, which is becoming more and more popular. Although now it is not mentioned on Her site, I kind of remember, that She had skype lessons: http://thecellocompanion.info/lessons/cello-lessons/. If You are interested, just contact Her. But You can find plenty of teachers like this I think.
