After I was done moaning about my plight I decided to go to Flyers in Pompano Beach, FL, because of the good things that I heard about their program there. The ground instructor, Patrick Connell, that they have there is an outstanding teacher and all the practice that you will have in speaking in front of your classmates may help you get over your fear of teaching...at least it worked for me.
