I had the pleasure of flying with Matthew Wachtel during my private pilot training, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the experience. From the very first lesson, Matt demonstrated exceptional professionalism, knowledge, and patience.  His clear explanations and calm demeanor made complex maneuvers much easier to grasp.

Throughout the lessons, Matt was excellent at providing constructive feedback while also encouraging me to push my limits in a safe, controlled manner. He was always thorough in post flight briefings, ensuring I understood each step before the next flight. This attention to detail, paired with his ability to adapt to my learning pace, helped me make consistent progress.

One thing that really stood out was Matt's ability to make each flight a learning experience. He was quick to identify areas where I could improve and always found ways to make practice enjoyable, whether it was refining my cross-country skills or improving my landings. I always felt supported but also challenged, which is exactly what I needed.

Thanks to his guidance, I've become a more confident and capable pilot.  I would highly recommend Matt to anyone seeking quality flight instruction, whether you're a brand-new student or looking to build on existing skills.
