Private lessons

 Hi, I am your ice skating instructor. I’m excited to have you in my class. It will be a fun experience for you as you learn my favorite sport, ice-skating. I have been instructing for a very long time and have a lot of helpful strategies to get you through this class and on to more advanced classes.

Here some helpful hints to help you enjoy your lessons:

1. Your rental skates should fit snuggly around the toe. If not you will find that the skates will be hard to hold up straight. You should also lace them snuggly and all the way up to the top. Sometimes you will have to try on different sizes to get the correct fit. I find that a size smaller than your shoe size works the best.
2. Please wear warm clothing. A sweater and gloves are a must. Also, if you layer your clothes you will be more comfortable and be able to move freely. 
3. You have a ½ hour group lesson so please come on time and use your public session times for practice. The more you skate the faster you’ll improve.
4. Private lessons are available and are a benefit. Private lessons offer more personal attention for skaters who want to progress more quickly through the skating levels. With private ice skating lessons, you will get the one-on-one attention that can help you rapidly improve your ice skating skills. The main benefits of taking private lessons are that you can learn at your own pace, make your own schedule, develop good habits, and have more personal attention from the instructor. I have over thirty years of experience helping skaters achieve their success, increase their skills, strength, and self-confidence. See me for more information.
5. Got skates? Purchasing your own skates that are fitted to your feet, are lightweight, sturdy, strong, and comfortable are just a few reasons why buying your own skates will be beneficial. Having your own skates will speed up your learning as they will help hold your ankles upright for better balance, control, and ease of skills. 

I have fitted skates for over thirty years and own my own skate supply business. I can guarantee to help you get the proper size style and size you need depending upon your age, level, weight, and goal. There are many styles for every type of skater from tots thru adult. I’ll fit you to the skate you need, giving you personal service, a guarantee, and quality ice skates for your best enjoyment. Please check out my website for skates and more! iceskates4u.com

Feel free to call or catch me after class for any questions that arise. I want you to enjoy this sport as much as I do.

Lessons are paid at the beginning of each month. Please give a 24hr.  Cancellation notice if a lesson will be missed and the lesson can be made up in that month. Please be on time and ready to skate at the lesson time. Wear proper clothes to skate in. I expect each skater to practice what he or she learned after the lesson and even skate another practice day. Strengthening the muscles and working on flexibility at home will be beneficial for quicker progress. I will help set personalized goals for the skater. I have practice sheets and notebooks for you to use while practicing. Any questions please contact me. See you on the ice.
