My feeling is that a good instructor will guide you instead of the other way around. He/she will be able to look at your swing and ballflight and will know where to begin.

The only question you should probably be prepared to answer is "Why are you here?" aka "What do you feel like you need to improve?" If you are new, just say so. Tell the instructor that you need to build a good swing. Otherwise, the instructor is looking for an answer like "full swing", "short game", "bunker play", "putting", etc.

For advice, I would urge you to be patient and stick with the advice. You will get worse before you get better. Also, give the instructor more than one chance - unless you hate him/her, take at least 3 lessons before deciding it's not right for you. If you do like him/her after those three lessons, take regular lessons at whatever intervals you can afford/fit into your schedule. Even after learning something good for your swing, it can (and will) deteriorate after time. It's all about maintenance and improvement. Remember, even Tiger Woods still gets regular lessons.
