Planet Ice Coventry and Silver Blades Cannock both charge £7.50 for 15 mins private lesson.  At Telford it's £6 but I think the coaches at Coventry and Cannock are better.  It is a lot of money but you will find that you progress much more quickly and you are more likely to learn the techniques correctly instead of learning bad habits.  This is because your coach will only be watching you!  Even a couple of lessons a month are worth doing. 

Good luck  :)

Hi Abbi,

I skate at Solihull - I'm on the 1030am lessons - Thank god for the lie in! Which coach do you have?  I have been taught by Cathy, Lyn & Duncan and now have Sarah.

Are you enjoying it? 

The backwards lemons really help skating backwards!  Good Luck!
