I’m a Certified Flight Instructor (CFI) and enjoy preparing flight candidates for their checkrides. I have nearly two decades of teaching experience in public schools and carry a positive, fun energy—to every lesson. As a check airman for a large flight school, I know that learning to fly is about more than just mastering skills; it’s about feeling confident, motivated, and ready for any challenge. I believe that creating an encouraging and engaging environment helps students thrive, so I tailor each session to not only cover the essentials but also to make the experience enjoyable and motivating. My approach combines a deep understanding of FAA standards with a positive attitude that keeps students focused and enthusiastic as they prepare for their FAA certificates. With my guidance, students not only refine their skills but also gain the confidence to enjoy the journey of becoming a skilled, safety-focused pilot - **Important Note from Skyfarer Academy** We recommend giving our instructors at least 24 hours to prepare for your session.
