Private Coaching

Private coaches operate independently and are not employed by O’Brien Icehouse. As a result, Skate School is unable to arrange or book private lessons on your behalf.

Before commencing private coaching, skaters should have achieved the skills covered in Aussie Skate Levels 9+10 and are at Freeskate level. These skills can be developed by progressing through our Skate School program before moving on to private lessons.

Skaters who have reached Freeskate level and are interested in private coaching can find information on our Figure Skating page. A link to our coaches’ profiles is located at the bottom of the page.
