I couldn't have asked for a better instructor like Marcel. From the time we met, I knew that Marcel was a good fit for me.
Very experienced instructor, easy to follow and helped me become a better pilot.
Every lesson, he'd prepare you well on how to safely prioritize yourself as a PIC while making sure you also learn from your decision making in a safe manner. I thank him for helping me build my confidence and obtaining my private pilot license! Would love to fly with Marcel again if I ever get the chance too again. Thanks again Marcel!

Marcel is an awesome CFI who genuinely wants to help make you a great pilot. I can tell he actually cares about my progress and wants me to succeed, not just get through training. I’d highly recommend him to anyone looking for a CFI who truly cares.

Had an introduction to multi flight with Marcel, and he was an excellent in acclimating me to the airplane and its systems while also going through potential failures. He's very friendly and I would highly recommend flying with him.

Marcel was my PPL instructor for 2 to 3 months at KTTD, and he was great. He has an approachable attitude while staying professional and focused on the task at hand. What sets him apart is that he's always coming up with new scenarios to test and build your skills. He does especially well with ground instruction, with a structured and comprehensive teaching style, ensuring everything is covered. He's also respectful of your time and money as a student, and he's fair. I'd fly with Marcel again!
