Eric F.

The instructor's qualifications have been verified.

We (two adults and two teens) had 4 half day sessions with Eric. A very impressive teacher, incredibly knowledgable. We thoroughly enjoyed our lessons and will book with Eric again on our next trip.

Phil booked a total of 9 hours with Eric

Eric was very good communicating with me. I booked him to teach two beginners in our group to ski. He was patient and friendly and managed to deal with two very different learning styles. He was also very adaptable when we switched the individuals taking lessons on the third day. Everyone enjoyed learning with him and I would thoroughly recommend him.

Eric is a legend

Tom Harper booked a total of 3.5 hours with Eric

Eric was so great, he was patient and clear with the plan of the lesson. He helped build our confidence a lot!

Chloe Poolman booked a total of 3 hours with Eric

We had an incredible 3 hour session with Eric. His instruction from the outset was superb - he takes the time to explain the reasoning behind all the technique and he is incredibly perceptive into pinpointing areas in which we could both improve. Our session with Eric early in the week week’s skiing trip really paid dividends, allowing us to really enjoy the remainder of the week, putting what we had learnt into practice. To top it all, Eric is also a really nice, friendly guy with a great sense of humour - which made the lesson such great fun. We highly recommend this instructor to anyone who wants to improve their skiing, no matter what their ability.

Andrew booked a total of 6 hours with Eric

My friends and I (three of us in total) had a full day lesson with Eric and he was absolutely fantastic. Eric is very patient and clear with his instructions. He was also kind enough to cater for some variation in our abilities as I was a complete beginner and my two friends were slightly more proficient. He taught me enough such that by the end of the week I was on red runs! Thanks Eric - if I ever need lessons again, I know who to contact!

Nous avons fait une superbe journée en hors piste grâce à Eric qui est un formidable moniteur ! Extrêmement compétent et d’une gentillesse sans pareille !

Marion booked a total of 1 full day with Eric

Complete beginner (one lesson before I went with Eric). He took me from a very basic starting point to being able to ski down a green unaided. Very patient and adapted to me, which was really important. Learnt so much and couldn’t recommend Eric more. A great teacher and person!

Pav booked a total of 6.5 hours with Eric

My client had lessons with Eric and said: "Eric was great, he was very technical in his teaching which was good. Would definitely recommend him and use him again. His knowledge of the area was amazing. He was also a very interesting person who could talk about all things not just skiing, so this made lunch more interesting. Helen"

Scott Dunn booked a total of 20 hours with Eric

Very friendly wants the best for the student, gave the best for us since we were beginners

omar alnouri booked a total of 7 hours with Eric

Eric is one of the most sweetest person I’ve met. This was my second year of skiing, and last year I’ve had 2 different private lessons, I was really confused because of that and so happy to have Eric as my teacher for my first day this year. He didn’t try to change my way of skiing but hé simply explained what we’re doing when we’re skiing, he gave me a few tips and within 10 minutes I’ve involved the way to go down the sloops. He challenged me during the lesson but only in a comfortable way. I’m not scared anymore to go down the sloops and Eric is really sweet, patient and fun to be with! Thanks Eric! You’ve gave me the confidence that I needed to enjoy my holiday even more!

Henk-Jan booked a total of 3 hours with Eric

Jordan booked a total of 3.5 hours with Eric

Eric is a great coach and both me (beginner - intermediate) and my partner (advanced) have really improved our techniques just after one lesson. Thank you Eric!

Olya booked a total of 3.5 hours with Eric

Eric was amazing with all our family. He took the older ones off to slopes they would never have known about & the younger children adored him. Thanks to Eric we now have 4 children who can all ski extremely well for their ages. Eric was super at helping the most nervous adult too!

Alexandra Willis booked a total of 5 full days with Eric

Would recommend Eric thoroughly. We were a party of 10 skiers of differing levels of ability. We booked Eric for the entire week. He was excellent and working out who to ski with and when. We had a group of absolute beginners skiing with him every morning and they felt they made extraordinary progress; progress they would not have made without him. By the end of the week, they were all skiers. (Okay, bad skiers but nonetheless – skiers!). The intermediates included a feeble 76 year old, and a couple of very fit intermediates; in spite of the fact that our levels of skill and fitness were so varied, we all benefited hugely. I think that's the key point; in a chalet party of hugely differing levels every single member of the party was really really enthusiastic about Eric and felt that every centime spent on him was worth it. I would sum up by saying that he has a great ability to adapt his teaching to different people and different levels; he is brilliant at helping you to make the most of whatever snow conditions there are on any particular day; and he is brilliant at instilling confidence. For those who learn by example, they can copy him. For those who prefer a cerebral technical explanation of how to do things, he is truly excellent at providing that. Oh, and I think we became good friends!

Stephen booked a total of 6 full days with Eric

Eric is an excellent teacher, he explains well, he demonstrates well and he takes you out of your comfort zone to just the right level where you will improve

David booked a total of 9 hours with Eric

Eric was a fantastic instructor. We were a mixed age group and he was calm, kind and patient with us throughout. His vast experience meant he was able to adapt and tailor our lessons to suit our needs and also the conditions, without fuss. As we were new to the mountains and skiing he was really informative and we learned a lot! I would highly recommend Eric.

Hannah Secouet booked a total of 20 hours with Eric

Eric was absolutely fantastic and such a pleasure to spend a half day skiing with! I'm a fairly strong skier, and given the low visibility the week I was in Courcheval, I mostly wanted to get a better sense of the geography of the mountains and surrounding villages / lifts so I would know where to go on my own. Eric took me all over, showed me the best places to ski in different conditions, and even gave me some great pointers to boot. I can't recommend Eric enough and will definitely be booking with him the next time I'm in the three valleys!

Abby booked a total of 3 hours with Eric

I had a tremendous wonderful experience with Eric. He is such a friendly, warm, and experience coach I have ever had. He made me feel comfortable and my level of confidence increased with his guidance and tips. Eric is definitely the coach I will choose again whenever I go back to Courcheval.

Karen booked a total of 3 hours with Eric

I greatly enjoyed Eric’s lessons. I’d skiied twice before but not for a few years so wanted to refresh my skills with some lessons. Eric was charming, patient and supportive and really helped improve my ability and confidence over the course of our lessons. Highly recommend!

Hugo booked a total of 3 hours with Eric

Eric was an exceptionally knowledgable, experienced and friendly instructor. There was nothing he didn’t know about the Courcheval ski area! He really helped our teenage girls develop technically but made it fun with breaks and trips to the funpark! I would recommend him to anyone for all levels.

Amanda booked a total of 20 hours with Eric

My lesson with Eric was amazing! He brought on my confidence so much and had me coming down green slopes perfectly. He always made me feel safe and that I could go at my own pace. Would highly recommend booking a lesson with Eric you will have a great time ☺️

Chloe booked a total of 3 hours with Eric

I can't speak highly enough of Eric - we were a family of 4 intermediate skiers, our first time in Courcheval and having skied twice before. Our daughters are 9 and 11. Eric spent the whole week with us taking us on different runs around the slopes and guiding us during the half term break when the slopes are at their busiest. His patience was limitless and he always ensured that we skied safely and securely. His knowledge of the area coupled with his extensive skiing experience and teaching abilities were the perfect combination. If we come again, we will definitely be looking up Eric for skiing instruction in Courchevel.

Saul booked a total of 6 full days with Eric

Eric was a brilliant instructor who took my sloppy form that I've had for decades and turned it into proper technique. He explained the physics and the feel of proper ski technique and is a really nice guy, easy to be around! Would highly recommend you let him teach you!

Matt booked a total of 4 hours with Eric

Eric is super professional and indeed knows the physics and technicals behind skiing. He explained everything to us in great details whilst keeping a great balance of actually putting it to practice. We will for sure go back to him when in Meribel next time!

Eva Lozano Doncel booked a total of 3 hours with Eric

I can’t believe the progress I made in 3 days with Eric. Above and beyond what I could have ever expected. He is so professional and makes sure that everything is at your own pace and that technique is focused on. 10/10 recommend.

Alex booked a total of 4 hours with Eric

Eric gives a superb lesson. Ive had a few instructors in boarding and skiing over the yeats but none were able to explain and help me underatand tge logic, physocs and reasoning behind the correct ski technique as well as Eric. Understanding this greatly improved our rate of advancement and gave us a steady foundation to move forward as skiers. All this was done in a friendly and polite manner. All other aspects in termsof communication, punctuality etc were exceptional also.

Sean booked a total of 2 full days with Eric

Eric was an excellent instructor, he dealt very well with my partner and I having fairly different skill/confidence levels, and made sure our session was engaging and useful for both of us. We'll definitely look for him again on future visits to La Tania!

Don booked a total of 4 hours with Eric

We had a great time with Eric and his methods of teaching are excellent which reflects his experience. My wife is a beginner and at the end of our lessons she was confident and understood the fundamentals to ski solo. He’s friendly, patient, and observant even with the smallest details. He builds confidence gradually and knows when to push for more or slow things down when needed. I highly recommend Eric for all levels as his feedback is very constructive.

Sulaiman booked a total of 9 hours with Eric

If you're going skiing to Courcheval & want to book an instructor (regardless of skill), I implore you to book Eric! He is a simply outstanding teacher. He taught two of us for 12 hours (across three days); one of us being utterly afraid, after a nasty skiing accident. Eric has a fantastic temperament, which is exactly what you need when learning something new or improving on technique. He can tell how you are feeling from your body language and will push you as far as he thinks you are capable. He is also great at picking up on when you are tired. I cannot thank Eric enough for his kindness, thoroughness and patience last week. A huge mental block has been removed and I enjoyed skiing, after 22 years! Thank you and see you in 2021.

Leanne booked a total of 12 hours with Eric

I really appreciated my lessons with Eric! Being a complete beginner just after 3 classes I felt like I made some real progress and could even go on a blue run with him. Eric is really patient and explains everything very well, also extremely helpful - couldn’t find a better instructor! My friend who is a very good skier also took a class with him to advance her skills and was very positive at the end on progression of her technique. Highly recommended Eric to anyone from beginner to more advanced skiers!

Julia booked a total of 10 hours with Eric

Eric was great, I would 100% recommend Eric. He takes his time to explain the practical side and how to rectify any mistakes/ bad habits that you are making.My skiing has improved greatly and I’m now going down reds with no problems. Thank you Eric x

Kelly booked a total of 3 hours with Eric

I cannot recommend Eric enough. We had our lesson on my first day back on the slopes this year, and by the end of the morning he’d totally got my confidence up, given me lots of tips for the week, and got me very comfortable on reds (plus did a black - didn’t expect that on first morning!). So clear, patient and confidence inspiring. Highly recommended! Chris (intermediate level)

Chris booked a total of 4 hours with Eric

Éric was an excellent teacher and made me feel very comfortable and increased my confidence on parallel turns (I was very nervous). Éric was able to make me feel at ease while giving me the technical instruction and help me apply it with much more confidence than I imagined.

Nicola booked a total of 3 hours with Eric

Eric is a very knowledgable and experienced ski instructor. He was able to tell at which point throughout the day I was able to advance in the lesson, making it a very productive one. He also explained the theory of the correct technique very clearly and made it easy to understand. I believe the day of the lesson was my 7th day ever skiing, and by the end of it, I was able to do a red run which I never expected to get to so early! If I can do it, anyone can! I highly recommend Eric as a ski instructor as he will give you the confidence to take on pistes that you wouldn't think you'd be able to, therefore allowing you to fully experience the 3 Vallees skiing region and why it is amongst the world's best places to ski. Lastly, I left my neck warmer in his bag and he brought it back to our hotel the next day, so kind! Many thanks Eric! Karan and Anushka

Anushka booked a total of 1 full day with Eric

Eric was fantastic and I would highly recommend him as a ski instructor! It was our first time skiing and Eric was super patient with us and gave us some great instruction to ensure we picked up skiing safely. His communication was clear and he made us feel comfortable allowing us to progress at our own pace. We were extremely happy that we worked with Eric and we cant wait to go skiing again! Many thanks Eric!! Glen and Caren (UK)

Rachel booked a total of 2 hours with Eric

Superb, clear instruction delivered in a friendly manner - a totally enjoyable and rewarding experience. Excellent English and ability to teach all ages in mixed group

We have been skiing with Eric annually since 2011, sometimes multiple weeks a season. I did not start skiing until in my 40s and simply wanted to be able to ski well enough to ski with my husband, who learned as a child, and our son, who was also starting to learn the same time as myself. My husband and I share lessons together and started with morning lessons, five days each week during our ski holidays, and now book Eric for 6 full-days each time we come to La Tania. I have learned so much and continue to improve each and every holiday. Most importantly I can ski with my family and I fell confident and safe on the slopes. I am often asked why we continue to have lessons when we know how to ski? We continue because we want to continue to improve and we enjoy learning from Eric. Also, Eric's knowledge of the ski area means he knows where to go and at what time to help make the most of our precious few days/weeks on snow. If I could give more than five stars, I would!
