I started soaring about 2.5 years ago, with no previous flying experience,
so I think my memory is pretty fresh. I agree with Burt's direction here.
Flying the tow is formation flying, with a strong emphasis on speed control.
Let the student get some enjoyment and skill before asking them to do this
quite difficult thing.

I introduce elements of tow in the same manner and have for 25 years. A
good way to feed the basics in small bits.
