点评:This review is specifically for the instructors that my nieces had this week.
Chris .A.
Worked with my younger niece age 8. He’s an older gentleman but don’t let that fool you he’s great with kids. After her first lesson all she wanted was to know that he would be her instructor for the next two days. He was very friendly, full of enthusiasm and encouragement and he kept the little devil on her best behaviour listening to his every word.
Jack
Worked with my older niece age 12. She’s a little shy and was nervous. This young man clearly comes from a ski family. Again don’t let his young age fool you. He loves the sport, is friendly, full of enthusiasm and encouragement. He drew lines in the snow literally and explained what to do in a way that was easy to understand yet didn’t make a tween feel embarrassed or self conscious.
(Yes, I’m a helicopter aunt who followed along behind during the private lessons).
Both were amazing instructors that should be commended on not just their skills as skiers (P.s. Jack I hope to see you flying through the air one day on t.v.), but also on their abilities as teachers. Teaching, patience and kindness are not abilities that can be taught. You either have them or you don’t and these two gentlemen do. Thanks for the fun 3 days. Wish both of them all the best.

克里斯·A
他教的是我8岁的小侄女。他年纪比较大,但别被他的年龄迷惑,他非常擅长和小朋友相处。第一节课结束后,她就一直问他接下来两天是不是也教她。他非常友善,充满热情,总是鼓励她,而且他让这个小淘气乖乖听话,认真听他讲解。
杰克
他教的是我12岁的大侄女。她有点害羞,也有些紧张。这位小伙子显然来自一个滑雪世家。同样,别被他年轻的外表所迷惑。他热爱这项运动,友善热情,总是鼓励她。他甚至在雪地上画线,用浅显易懂的方式讲解动作要领,既不会让孩子感到尴尬或不自在。
(是的,我是个“直升机式”的姑姑,在私教课上一直跟着她们。)
两位教练都非常出色,不仅滑雪技术精湛(顺便说一句,杰克,我希望有一天能在电视上看到你飞跃雪场),而且教学能力也令人赞叹。教学、耐心和友善这些品质是无法后天习得的,要么天生具备,要么后天无法习得,而这两位先生恰恰拥有这些品质。感谢你们带来的这三天美好时光。祝愿他们一切顺利。
