Good 'Stick and Rudder' Instructors

Hi there,
I'm new to the site, so please bear with me!

I've recently started flying (about 20 hours in), but I'm flying a Cessna 152, which I don't believe is allowing me to develop good 'stick and rudder' skills.

What I'm wondering is, do any of you know any really good instructors that you would advise I spend some time with (either in the USA/UK or otherwise) who have a good reputation for teaching good old fashioned 'stick and rudder' skills, after getting my PPL?

I have also heard that flying older aircraft, such as the Piper J3 Cub (and possibly the likes of the stearman, tiger moth, Texan etc if you're made of money) can also teach you good stick and rudder skills, and make you a better pilot overall? What aircraft would you recommend for this?

As you can probably tell, I just want to be the best pilot that I can be!

Any advice at all is appreciated!

Thanks in advance for your answers!

YF
