Theory Courses and classes
I Lionel Taylor have been teaching aviation theory full time here at Moorabbin since 1982. Prior to then I taught PPL and CPL theory part time while instructing at Essendon.
One of my first students was Michael Van Der Zypp.
I teach for all licence levels. PPL through to ATPL, both fixed wing and Heli.
Additionally, I prepare people for IREX and AG rating exams.
I provide my students with copies of my own notes and practice papers.
I do not simply read from one of the Bob Tait textbooks. I continually strive to improve my teaching methods and I myself never stop learning.
Aside from my aviation theory courses, I also coach maths and physics for year 11 and year 12 students.
