Can someone give me a quick "what to do at the tailor" primer?

So I have my very first appointment with a tailor tomorrow. I have pants and a jacket, neither of them particularly high end but they fit more ok than anything else did. Trying to get them tailored enough to look like I know how to dress myself at least. But since I've literally never been to a tailor before or talked formal clothes with anyone much, is there anything particular I should know?

A good tailor will be able to point out what, if anything, needs adjustment. Do you know anything about this tailor? Do they have good reviews?

decent reviews although not a lot but nothing within reasonable distance of me does

Sure. I’d have them start with one of the garments. If they do a good job, bring the other. If they don’t, keep looking.

yeah that was mostly the plan? I have a suit that I'm not bringing in yet, I figure if the pants and blazer come out good I'll bring the suit.
