Katya Kornienko

The experience of being able to take advantage of a wonderful spot and a really capable instructor allowed me to progress quickly and finish level 3. This kite trip allowed me to meet new people and life on the boat for 1 week regenerated my mind.

I'm very glad I chose Zanzibar Kite Paradise School. Perfect place to study with perfect conditions. high-level school with facilities and logistics. Very friendly and professional atmosphere. My instructor was Katya Kornienko. She has a professional approach with very good communication and patience. Katya owns a rare gift for transfer of knowledge. Really honestly I recommend training with Katya. Great person and a fantastic instructor.

The lessons were super helpful. Exactly the right pace, good balance between going safe, while still making decent progress. I could always ask questions, and the instructor never lost patience when I was doing the same mistakes again and again.

A great instructor. I felt very comfortable and safe. Katya explained everything clearly, was there in every difficult moment, acted quickly and, above all, I know that thanks to her I made rapid progress.

I have been wanting to learn kitesurfing for very long time, but never had enough time to try it. Finally I had 2 weeks to make it happen and it was the best experience ever. Katya was a perfect instructor for me, I define myself a slow beginner, these 15 training hours were an excellent investment to have good foundations. At Kite Paradise they have excellent gear for every wind condition. I had an amazing time learning and really enjoy the cool vibe round the school, everyone is chilled, kind and professional.

Katya is a wonderful kitesurfing instructor. Her guidance and patience allows to me start jumping, master my transitions and carving and overall feel more confident as a kite surfer. Additionally, she is charming, sharp and beautiful.

Spent a week vacation in Zanzibar to take up kitesurfing. Good somewhat steady wind but instruction by First Diego and then Katya was great. Attention to details and safety was impeccable. Will surely come again here next year.

I'm happy that I Katya was my instructor. I had many lessons around the world, Ukraine, Thailand, Tenerife, Egypt. And I can say that having a walkie talkie radio connection is so important! Likely everytime when Katya is my instructor I know it will be there, she'll help me and take care of me that I won't get in any trouble and progress fast to have fun and enjoy the ride!!)) Thank you!

10/10, fantastic instructor, a great level of detail in explanations, always felt save, and felt I really progressed a lot during my lessons. Really enjoyed my lessons, and can't wait to take more. Recommend my instructor Katya 100 times again.

Kate is very calm and patient. She explains the technique incredibly easily and clearly. It's a pleasure to learn with her.
