Ian is a very experienced, knowledgeable and enthusiastic coach. He checks out what you want to achieve, gives detailed feedback to help you improve and summarises what has been covered.
He always offers clear instructions and demonstrates techniques as he describes them. He is encouraging and builds confidence. He works to your skill and comfort level, while also suggesting further challenges and next steps. He is patient in answering questions and teaches with infectious enthusiasm and humour. He is a skilled coach and ensures you get the most out of his courses, so I would happily recommend him as a teacher.
