However, Vincent of Plastic Pilot makes an excellent comment to the post when he points out that:
It is important to have a good match between student pilot and flight instructor. Not all pairs can do well, and it does not mean the student or the instructor is bad. If you don’t feel good with your instructor, try another one. No shame in that.
In other words, remember that math or English teacher who’s teaching style or method made it very difficult for you to grasp the subject? The same thing can occur when learning how to fly only the stakes are much higher during flight training. Thus, having the right match cannot be emphasized enough and neither can consulting with your peers for advice or assistance.
