WHAT ARE PRIVATE LESSONS?

Private lessons are offered to skaters who are looking for more one on one attention within their program.

Skaters working at all levels of the STARSkate and Competitive programs develop their skills though private lessons. 

Semi-private and group lessons may also be an option, depending on the coach's availability and the skaters needs. Skaters will register for a specific ice session during which they will work with their coach. 

Typically on a 1 hr ice session, a skater will sign up for a 1-2 15 minute of coaching and spend the remaining minutes practicing. Learning to work independently is an important skill for a developing figure skater. 

ENGAGING A COACH  

Skaters contract individually with their coaches. Coaches set their own rates, according

to their experience, qualifications and services. 

Choosing a coach is an individual decision. Coaching arrangements, including payment,

 are made directly with the coach, who operates independently from the club.

It is advisable to discuss expectations in advance.  Coaches will expect skaters to be

 prompt and attend lessons regularly, and to give advance notice whenever possible if a

 lesson must be missed.
