I’m wondering how to make my ski lessons even better for the customers at our resort. I currently am making the best tips out of anyone in our ski school, so I think I’m doing something right. What sort of things do you think make up a great lesson? Important qualities in an instructor? My typical hour and a half beginner lesson is as follows, would you change anything?
1) Start out by teaching them how to move with their skis on on a flat, going over to our magic carpet (conveyor belt) teaching area
2) Once there, teach how to remove skis and get a feeling for the boots, explain/show good, safe skiing form. Then move on to how to make a wedge
3) After they can all do it correctly with skis off, try it again with skis on, still in place on a flat
4) Take the conveyor up to the top of the small learning area (about 40 ft, small incline) and show them again proper form and have them go one by one, making a few complete stops as they go down saying directions to correct anything wrong
5) Next I transition into wedge turns, explaining and exampling how to do it properly, still stressing proper form and safety
6) I continue giving one on one pointers to students and helping them progress at their own level while still maintaining a group atmosphere
7) For the students that have mastered that, I move on to parallel skiing when not turning, then pushing one ski out to make the turn, explaining how to make bigger S turns, completing the turn, etc.
At this point if they can ski in control, we go over to the bunny hill and I explain how to get on and off a chairlift, then we go down the hill working on turns, still stopping as a group a few times as we go down the hill, emphasizing skiing in control and being aware of others.
9) For those that have mastered skiing parallel when not turning I explain & show them how to get parallel skis, getting on their edges and better form.
I rarely have students fall in my lessons and keep it positive, anything you would recommend?
i’m also careful not to throw too much info at them at once, so each run down the hill I only give them one, maaaybe two things to concentrate on to make it easier to pick up
thanks kirkill 
our hill charges for a group lesson for an hour and a half and for a private, one hour lesson
i make /hr and do not get paid for being at work, i ONLY get paid when i am actively teaching. so i can drive 30 minutes to work, sit there ALL day, and if we don’t get any lessons, i’ve wasted a whole day and made nothing. we all appreciate tips for a lesson well taught

My ex and I were going out for about a month and I started having second thoughts. I told him of this and he was very convinced he was going to make things work out and he wanted to get through this with me. Unfortunately, I jumped the gun and told him it’s over. He was very hurt and wanted me back, but waited a day to talk to me about it so I could calm down. When we talked again I told him I’m sure now, and we hung out to try things out. But, I could tell it wasn’t the same by how he acted. A couple days later he was telling his friends we were going back out, which was fine with me. Then two days later I had him over to watch The Notebook and he laid next to me on the couch and kissed a couple times. I know he’s not a good kisser, he was so upset about "messing up" our first kiss the first week we went out. But anyway, these kisses weren’t much better. Later that night on AIM he broke up with me. He told his best friend it was because I broke his heart and he has a strong bond with me as a friend. Could it be that I’m not making him sure of himself? I’d really like him back… my best friend knows him very well and she says I really have to act hard to get. I’m confused, any pointers?

Well I broke up with my ex like last year in sept and we haven’t been talking. I was so immature then. I want to get back with her and will never leave her again and want to show her that I am a mature man now. She was in one relationship before she switched her focus to school. I want to be the best friend to her and if possible get her back if not just stay a friend. I talked to her 2 days ago but afterwards she hasn’t spoke to me. I was joking around with her and then she stopped. idk if thats why she stopped but when we were talking, I ask her to lets start over and she said ok. How do I go about this. Can anyone out there give me any pointers? And also do I have a chance?
