flying with a new instructor

I flew with my new instructor yesterday for the first time. I was impressed with his teaching style and professionalism. We went over the basic maneuvers and so on so he could get a feel for where I am. I think I did reasonably well but my landing was not the best. I was a little high so he had me side slip to drop some altitude quickly and the nose was a little canted on landing so I caught one wheel before the other and was off the centerline as a result.
