Arrgh! My instructor won't teach me new skillz until I turn properly!
OK see this is my problem
When I turn, I will lose altitude, or climb, it just won't be level. My turns are usually steep, e.g. 45º and above. But all my mates can do it without losing altitude.

When doing a figure of 8, my plane goes further and further away from me. Seems that I bank too hard on the 2nd turn. I know this comes with experience, but anyone has tips for me?

Although my turning improved in the 2nd run, I just feel it needs to be better.
Can anyone correct me?
