"A great, calm ski instructor with a lot of patience. Transformed our very stubborn 5 year old from refusing to ski on her own to confidently whizzing down green runs in just a few days and loving it!"

"I Highly recommend his tuition - especially if you're anxious about improving. Thanks Roger!"
"We were incredibly lucky to spend five days skiing with Roger during our week in Méribel and we honestly couldn't have asked for a better instructor. My husband and our two children (15 and 18) had never skied before, and Roger somehow managed to build their confidence and basic skills within the very first day."

"I had a really positive experience during my two lessons with Roger, who is friendly, patient and positive. I struggled 2 years previously with group lessons and lost confidence. Roger not only helped restore it, but I felt far more experienced and in control after just two lessons."

"I have had a few lessons with Roger now and his experience on the slopes is amazing! Roger makes learning to ski fun, explains moves in detail and is always patient and encouraging! Would recommend Roger to anyone. After a few sessions I felt a massive improvement and had confidence on the slopes!"

"Roger is patient, supportive, and knows exactly when to push you just enough to improve without feeling overwhelmed. By the end of the week I felt far more confident and comfortable on my skis than I expected. I'd happily recommend him to anyone looking to progress their skiing in a supportive environment."

"Our second year of lessons with Roger ...
He got us all skiing confidently... and even managed to get our extremely stubborn 5 year old absolutely loving it (after she spent 3 days refusing to put skis on!).
We can’t wait to book again next year!!"

"We booked 3 mornings of lessons for my 10 year old daughter with Roger ...
From the outset he was friendly and positive, breaking the ice with her by discussing their snack of choice in the mountains….
She loved the lessons ... and we saw an unbelievable change in the way she skis and her confidence in tackling anything...
First class experience with Roger..."

"I had three lessons with Roger in Meribel in Feb, I couldn’t say enough great things about him, super patient, very skilled and also a good laugh, left feeling like a much more confident skier than when I started, 10/10 would recommend!"

"What can I say? Roger is a legend!! He truly restored my confidence in skiing when I just wanted to give up and go home! ...
I went from a quivering mess to a confident beginner in the space of 3 hours... If in doubt do not hesitate to book a private lesson if you can afford to, it will be worth every penny.
If and when I return to Meribel, my first point of contact will be to book a refresher..."

“Fantastic Lessons”

"Best ski instructor ever!”
"... Roger was fantastic and really helped me with my confidence and technique. Every movement was really well explained in a format that was easy to understand but made a lot of sense. I immediately booked a second lesson after my first.
My advice - don’t hesitate to book! You won’t be disappointed."

"Best ski instructor ever!”
"I've had quite a few ski lessons previously but Roger is by far the best teacher I've ever had. He was patient, friendly, knowledgeable and really interesting. I've never had the 'why' of skiing explained to me before....
All 3 of us felt we got a lot out of the lessons even though we were a really mixed bag ...
Whatever level you're at, a lesson at the start of your holiday will really set you up and we thoroughly enjoyed the rest of our week (although we did miss Roger's stories!)
Highly recommended!"
