Can I ask for discounts for skating (or cycling) lessons?
The prices are fixed and NOT negotiable. After comparing the rates, transportation cost, traveling times and convenience, if you can find someones are offering better private skating lessons, please go ahead and book their classes. Do not come to me with your own equations and request for discounts.

How can I trust you after I have made the full payment?
Frankly speaking, I have no idea how I can convince you. I can only say that I have been coaching since 2003 and have more than 3800 private skating and cycling students as of September 2022. All payments are collected upfront or on the first lesson. You can pay by PayLah or PayNow if you want to keep transaction record. But if you are skeptical about payment, just engage other schools/coaches so you don’t have to worry I will run away with your money.

I have found a coach teaching at lower prices, but I prefer to engage you for class. Can you match the prices?
My rates are not negotiable. You may go on and book that coach’s class. You may like his class too.

Shall I get inline skates (rollerblade) or quad (roller) skate?
I was always asked whether they should learn inline or roller skates. It depends on what do you want to achieve eventually from skating. I found a very good website explain inline vs roller skates. Read it before you decide. – https://www.cora.org/inline-vs-quad-skates/

Do I need to make a deposit when I book your slots?
You don’t have to make any transactions prior to the class starts. You can pay when we meet up for class.

Will you issue invoice/receipt for my class?
Soft copy invoice/receipt will only be issued upon request after full payment is made.

I want to take the 4 (or 8 lessons) package. Can I do a trial first but reserve the remaining slots?

Can you come to my place to teach?
Basically, I can go anywhere in Singapore main island. Due transportation restrictions, I cannot teach in Sentosa island. I have also stopped coaching in some condominiums as the managements want charge me for coaching in the premises.

Where are the locations you conduct your skating classes?
Students have the benefit to decide where they want to have the lessons. Classes can be conducted near to the students’ houses and offices. This will save the transportation costs and times of the students.

Do you have class schedule, and how can I book?
You can check my available slots. Submit the dates and times of your preferences. I will get back to you to confirm the class.

Will I be able to skate when I have completed the package?
I won’t be able to assure you will be able to skate independently after my lessons. Learning is mutual and it depends on many factors. If there is a skating coach / school can guarantee you will be able skate after their lessons. Go sign up with them. Make sure they honor their words and refund unconditionally if you still can’t skate.

Can I join your existing classes?
All my groups are private classes formed by each individual groups. No joining of existing classes are allowed. You have to start your own class.

Are skates and safety gears provided?

Can skating help me to loose weight?
By just doing sport, be it skating or running, alone will NOT help you to loose weight. You need to combine sport and planned diet to burn more carbo than consume.

Other skating schools’ lessons are 1.5hrs per session. Why is yours only 1hr?
I asked some of my students whether they preferred 1 or 1.5 hours. Nearly all replied that 1hr was just fine as my classes were small, and I always gave precise instructions and pin-point solutions. They would rather have quality than quantity sessions. My sessions are exhausting, like an hour of personal training. Some students actually called for stop before the full one hour.

I know your 1 session is 1hr. However, can I request to do 2hr (2 lessons) per session?
If you think you are fit to sustain 2 consecutive hrs, or 2 lessons per session, we can do that.

Do I have to complete the program within a certain period?
No, you don’t have to. I do not set time frame and expiry dates for the program.

I had sent my booking form some days ago but there was no reply from you?
An auto generated acknowledgement email will be sent to you immediately after your submission. And within 2 days, I will personally reply to all booking and enquiry. If you have not received my replies, please check the spam folder.

Yes, I allow students to find replacements if they can’t continue deal to some unexpected reasons.

I am a beginner and have never skated before. Shall I take 4 or 8 lessons?
It depends on what you want to achieve from my program. I have outlined each package’s curriculum. You can take a look. You can always start with 4 lessons. If you think you want to continue after 4 lessons, you can sign up another package.

I am afraid of falling. Do you have a method that I will not fall?
If I say I have a no-falling method, will you actually believe me? Instead, come to my class with safety gears and learn to fall safely.

I want to book 4 lessons but my working hour is erratic. Can I confirm the first lesson first and book the remaining slots later.
Yes, you can attend lesson first and book the remaining slots as we progress.

I have a group of 7 people want to learn. But you only take maximum 6 students per group. It there a way to resolve?

Will there be any make up lesson if I can’t attend lesson deal to weather, work commitment or sick?
Yes, there will be. However, you will need to inform me at least 2 hours prior to the lesson. For group class, if one student can’t attend, I will recommend the whole class reschedule the affected slot. This is because if the lesson continues, there will be no make-up lesson for the absentee.

What do I need to prepare for the lessons?
Students will need to get their own rollerblades and safety gears. Bring along some drinking water.

My kid is 3 years old. Can he learn skating from you?
Personally, I don’t coach kids who are less than 4 years old. Reasons being they are too young to understand instructions and their legs’ muscles are still weak. Parents will also have hard time to find small skates and safety gears for them.

I am not sure whether my kid will continue the lessons, will there be any trials?
Student can sign up for the One Time Trial and pay the respective rate. If student decide to continue after the trial, student will just need to top up the balance. more details.

As kids grow fast, shall I get a bigger pair of blades?
Actually, there are kid skates which are extendable.

You can do a 1-to-1 class or gather a group of friends to start a class. However please note that different class size will have different per pax rates.

I am completely new to skating, how many lessons do I need in order to skate?

My friend and I are interested to learn skating but we stay in different areas. Where will you conduct the class?
We can have lessons at one of the students’ place or a third place where we all can compromise.
