Richard has been an excellent instructor - from the very outset, he has been encouraging, kind and patient. He has been incredibly flexible in making time for lessons, and his calm and pragmatic instructing style put me in control for the majority of lesson time - and I would attribute this greater independence to me passing in just over 20 hours of instruction. As a semi-independent instructor, Richard’s lessons work very well in that he can provide a clear structure of lessons in line with LDC teaching, but is flexible to move beyond this when needed. This was really beneficial as my confidence grew and my issues became more specific. Richard also talked through everything in depth before I attempted it - and having a thorough debrief at the end of the lesson was a highlight feature of his lessons. Overall, there is no instructor I would rather have learnt with - Richard has been absolutely perfect for me - and I am glad I jumped on the bandwagon early!
