Echoing sentiments by PlankBlender, krankin and others, I agree Steve really knows his stuff and if you work hard and do well at it, he will reward you graciously.
Steve expects extremely high standards from his students because he has to put in a lot of effort and he expects students to do the same. Don't expect any mercy from him if you foul things up, but it's much better for him to grill you on your mistakes rather than trying it alone on a dark and cloudy night - you may not survive to learn from the experience, and that's the bottom line. Errors in instrument flight can be very unforgiving, to put it mildly.
I'd recommend some real world or instructional experience before starting out with Steve.
