What to expect in a lesson

I can expect a technical evolution and some extra confidence.
At the beginning I will ask you about your expectations.
During the first descent we will define your technical improvements to be made.
Then we will work on any aspects you find difficult during the session through fun exercises to progress whilst having fun.
Finally, I would give you advice to continue working on your own and possibly schedule other sessions if necessary.

Quentin was a great coach. He took my nine year old daughter from pizza and frites to parallel skiing on reds in four days. Importantly teaching her safety and slope etiquette (and her dad) at the same time.

My kids had never skied before (age 14 and 10) and were both quite apprehensive. Quentin was fun and extremely patient and the kids really warmed to him. They have learnt so much in just 1 week of morning lessons! They have already said they want him next year! 🙏

Quentin took 4 teenagers out each day from our group & they absolutely loved it - he took them on undiscovered slopes & found the best jumps and forest tracks. Fantastic time was had by all. Highly recommend him for any level / age. We’ll be back again next year

Quentin taught my two children ages 10 & 11 for a week of morning lessons. From starting off doing snow plough on the green runs to flying down red runs executing full parallel turns. Their progress has been incredible. Quentin is very friendly and has a brilliant knowledge of the area. My husband and I joined the lesson for 1 day and picked up some great tips. We will definitely be booking Quentin again.

Quentin was an absolute superstar. We had a lesson for 2 for 2 days, both very different levels and he accommodated us both brilliantly. He was incredibly patient yet determined to get me (the Bambi of the group) to improve my mindset and ski better. He definitely improved my confidence to enjoy our first family ski trip and have a go at some runs without panicking. Thank you!

Booked 4 hours with Quentin, having had a great experience with him last year. Speaks great English, knows the VT ski area extremely well. Gives very precise feedback about what you need to improve technically and makes it fun to learn snowboarding. Perfect mix of on-piste and off-piste time, coping with our mixed ability group in all settings. We learnt loads, looking forward to booking with him again next time.

Quentin did a great job. My wife and I are beginners, but three hours with him helped us to become more confident, ski much more safely and have fun during whole vacation. He was constantly helping us to fix our mistakes and at the end of our lesson showed us some exercises which we can use to improve our skills when we get used to basic technic.

Me and my 2 friends were very happy with Quentin! We were all beginners to intermediate level and got to improve our sking.He was always correcting our moves on the pistes and thanks to him the following days we tried to ski on harder pistes and joined our expert friends. He boosted our confidence. Even though it wasn’t expected of him, when we finished our lessons he spent time with helping us out with other staff like places to go, how to get there etc. He even helped my husband who was lost on the pistes find us safely. We highly recommend Quentin as an instructor. Great teacher and great personality

We had Quentin for the Christmas week for a family of 4; me and my wife and 2 boys aged 16 and 20. He quickly assessed our slightly mixed abilities and identified areas we needed to work on individually. He still made it an enjoyable week for us all and challenged each of us at appropriate times, with less than ideal snow conditions. (It had rained in Val Thorens the day before we arrived followed by cold nights and no fresh snow). He definitely improved our skiing and gave a good boost of confidence to my wife. I would thoroughly recommend Quentin and would be more than happy to have him teach us again when we get the opportunity to return to Val Thorens. Maurice Lau

FAQs
Where is the meeting point?

You can arrange the meeting point with your chosen instructor by using the Maison Sport messaging system. We recommend agreeing this before you book your lessons, but it can always be arranged at a later date. The instructor should be able to suggest somewhere that is convenient for you both.

What qualifications do the instructors have?

Any instructor that has a blue ‘verified’ tick icon on their profile has had their qualifications vetted and verified by the Maison Sport team, the level of qualification required to have a verified account on Maison Sport varies slightly by country. As follows: France – all verified instructors must carry a ‘Carte Professionelle’ licence, the qualification requirements for this licence are very high. The licence is administered by the French Government (to attain a Carte Professionelle most instructors will have studied for an average of 5 years+ to attain the correct level of qualification). Aside from requiring the instructor to have the highest level of qualification, which includes numerous teaching and technical performance diplomas in skiing or snowboarding, European mountain safety courses and the Euro speed test, the instructors are also required to have a criminal record check and a first aid certificate. Italy, Switzerland, Austria, Germany, Finland, Scotland, Spain – all verified instructors must carry a minimum level of qualification which must be at the ISIA card level or above. Instructors working independently must provide documentation to show they meet the local regulatory requirements to do so and instructors that are working for a ski school must provide details of the school they work for.

How many people can take part in the lesson?

Unless otherwise agreed with the instructor no more than 6 people can take part in a lesson, each instructor will have their own policy for this, so it is best to just double check with them by sending a message. Most instructors won't charge extra if there is more than 1 person taking part in the lesson, but always best to check with them before booking.s

How do I book?

If you are on a desktop computer or laptop, you will see a box on the right hand side of the screen which contains various lesson options and pricing, simply select the lessons you would like and then click 'Book now', then follow the instructions to make payment.
