My first day on snow was during a working holiday in Australia. Before that I was a watersports instructor in Taiwan, but once I tried it, snow pulled me in more than water did, and I decided then that I would qualify as an instructor. I now hold Level 2 in both snowboard and ski. Back when I was teaching watersports I already loved the satisfaction that teaching gives, and a student's happiness when something clicks is infectious — it has kept me enthusiastic ever since. My style is more patience and encouragement than you can use, to build confidence, and I plan the way of learning that suits you. For people who already have the basics, I analyse the movement, find where the problem is, and improve it quickly so your riding moves on.
