Had a trial lesson once for a half hour flight - young mother came in with two young children and a baby, had the flight bought for her by her husband.
During the briefing she did not ask many questions but wanted to be assured it was safe.
Once flying she proved to be the most responsive student I have ever flown. She would easily fly and hold attitudes, so much so that I let her take the aircraft right down and apart from the roundout she flew the whole landing rather well.
You just told her to fly "3 fingers of gap between cowling and horizon" etc and she did it - perfectly!
I have students at 15 hours that still cannot do this!
