Hi,

As a flight instructor and ground instructor, I have worked with students ranging from 15 years old to 80 years old, from all walks of life. The one common thing we share is a love for aviation. In seeing what most students struggle most with, I have been able to put together short online courses that encompass all types of learning types to best prepare students with ground knowledge to ensure they succeed in the airplane.
