One or two instructors during my PPL kept knocking the rudder use out of me, plus insisting that the nose wheel must be on the ground before the "go" part is started, sometimes too late for my comfort. I came from gliders and after PPL I was advised by my tail wheel differences instructor "next time bring your feet with you!" I was, and still am, pi$$ed off with that. Went back to the gliders to find my feet.
So I'm afraid I have some misgivings about the training.
I also had the advice that a tail wheel landing is not over until the pilot is in bed with someone.
