Learning is as hard as YOU make it --- instructing is as hard as the STUDENT makes it. As said above you need to talk, without it neither knows what is happening.

Stop and think about this: As an instructor how far can you really let a student go before you take over, and was that last second that you hesitated / let him go, the one that WILL end his flying, if not for the day maybe forever. YOU trusted me to take you up the first time, if I haven't really screwed up somehow , Trust me to teach you to the best of OUR ability.
ENJOY !!! RED
