Why choose an Independent private instructor when booking your holiday?

You can tailor the lesson to your needs, ski runs that match your ability level and get priority in the lift queues to make the most of your time on the slopes.

More flexibility on meeting points and times, choose between individual coaching or sharing a lesson with friends.

Private tuition ensures clear individual goals, more time for feedback and so a better understanding of what changes need to be made.

Children's lessons are fun, with smaller numbers, emphasis is on progression and skiing a variety of terrain, rather than just managing a long line of little skiers.

Option of video analysis, this is really helpful to develop your skiing and is an option in private lessons. GCSE students can have an expert eye video their skiing for future exams.

For those in resort for longer than a week, a private instructor can offer coaching on a regular basis throughout the winter for real long term progress.

When our 5 year old daughter comes back from her lesson full of smiles and stories you know she's had a great time! Sian is an amazing instructor, and has left a huge impression on our daughter! Highly recommend her!!

We had a fantastic 3 days of lessons with Sian. Sian’s ability to connect with every member of our family and being able to adapt to everyone’s learning style meant that we all really enjoyed our sessions and progressed with confidence. We would not hesitate to recommend Sian as a ski instructor.
