Congratulations!

Another tip, in case of touch and goes training, agree in advance with the student during the briefing who and how will retract the flaps before adding power.
I like to suggest myself as the one handling the flap after touching down with a clear "I have control, flaps identified, flaps up, you have control" making sure the student doesn't rush nor feel rushed to take off again. Touch and goes is not a natural maneuver.
Another tip for the seneca... "one finger one action" (after take off lights off student can easily aim at both magnetos if done with two fingers in one go).
