It can be done.
"A+ instructor"
“We got through my challenges with landings, radios, more right rudder!, as well as all of my pre-checkride time requirements incredibly quickly. I was able to solo one day and then go on my XC solo the next day with full confidence in my abilities to safely navigate complex airspace and be ready should an emergency arise. Jan's solid and consistent training got me through to checkride readiness within my (again, crazy) timeline. A+ training program and a A+ instructor.”
