However by following a few basic rules and asking the right questions you can be sure that you will make the right choice. Snowboarding began when a man decided to attach his son’s skis together in order to ensure that his son’s technique was correct. This has lead to snowboarding being one of the most popular winter sports even making an appearance in the Olympics.
Ask to Talk to Your Instructor Past Students
Ask your instructor if he has any past students that you are able to speak with. If he does then you will be able to ensure that he at least has some experience, and you can ask those students how they found the training that they were given.
Ask What Charges will be for Your Instructions
This is an important question and one that should be considered as a major factor in whom you choose. If the instructor is charging more than the going rate it could reflects on his or her abilities and knowledge. It might be worth it to get an experienced instructor but that is a judgement you will need to make.
On the other hand, if you are mainly looking for the ability to master basic skills, then perhaps it is not worth paying extra. It is also imperative that you ask if the rates that you are paying reflect every cost element that you will incur.
What do I mean by this? Some instructors may charge you an hourly rate, but then the course may ask for more in order to use the facilities or rent equipment. Another point for consideration is that if you intend to train on a better slope then the costs of tuition will surely be higher. I would say it is probably worth paying that little extra to learn on snow, and on a diverse and challenging range of slopes.
Its Important to Get Along with Your Instructor
This is something that we must all consider before choosing an instructor, and although we cannot always tell, meeting them in person is a great way to get a feel for their personality. Many instructors choose to make friends with their students although this can be a problem.
In order to get the best results you will need to have a relationship of mutual respect and understanding with your instructor. When the pupil and instructor become too friendly problems can arise. However, this is just my opinion. If you feel more comfortable with a friendly instructor then this should be your choice. Think about what is best for you, and allow this to influence your choice of instructor.
The Times the Instructor will be Available
If your instructor will only be available between the hours of 9-5 and this is when you will be working then the chances are that this instructor is not very well suited to you. Make sure you discuss this with your instructor to find out when both of you are available to ensure a better working relationship.
