Rated 5/5 by 2 students
I have my students adopt a total hands-on approach right from the start, as I believe that is the best way for sailors to learn. I also take great pride in understanding their learning style to maximize their learning experience. My satisfaction comes from seeing the joy and fun reflected in my students faces. By the way, I am very laid back and never ever yell as that never improves a situation. I also believe in allowing students to self correct whenever possible. I look forward to meeting you and sailing with you soon.
