Mike is a truly gifted instructor, with an exceptional talent for clear and methodical explanations. His classes are well-planned, thorough and systematic – and followed up with invaluable practice notes which are emailed to the participants, so that the skills learned can be practiced later. Each student is given individual attention and feedback, and Mike’s patience knows no bounds – I can say this with confidence, having repeatedly put it to the test over the several courses which I have taken with him!
As well as being an outstanding teacher, Mike is also a delightful person and a pleasure to be around. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

The usual practice is for an instructor to ask for a testimonial. This recommendation, however, is completely voluntary as I really believe anyone considering lessons would benefit from Mike’s instruction.

Mike is not only an extremely experienced skate, he is a great teacher too. I’ve been skating for about four years now, but Mike was able to pick up on the tiniest points which dramatically improved my skating.

Mike is experienced, patient, has a wealth of skating knowledge, and really knows what he’s talking about. On top of that, he spots and rectifies even the tiniest problems unique to each skater, whether you’ve been skating for ten years or ten minutes.

If you’re a long-time skater, or completely new, a speed skater, or out for a little recreational fun, I would highly recommend taking lessons from Mike!
