There were four schools on my home field when I decided to start
training. I took flights with three of them. On the third flight, the
CFI mildly botched the landing, dropping it in pretty hard. On the taxi
in, he said, "Let me explain what happened and what I did wrong on that
landing." And then proceeded to dissect it and make it very clear. That
sold me on him as a teacher, and I did my primary with him. That sort of
analytical approach might bug the heck out of some people, but it was
perfect for my learning style.
