The first answer is, in a taildragger your don't use the brakes to turn.
If you do use the brakes, you are going too fast.

If your instructor didn't teach you how to do a one-wingspan turn in a
taildragger, your education is not complete. One of the great things about
a taildragger is the ability to turn in tight spaces. I'd go get some
tailwheel time from a real taildragger instructor.



The second answer is, the instructor was referring to controlling the
aircraft in flight. In a taildragger, you lead a turn with rudder before
adding the aileron.

I'll not argue with you for the same reason I don't mudwrestle with pigs.
However, just for our amusement why don't you give us the aerodynamics of
the differences in inflight turns between taildraggers and trainingwheel
aircraft.
