I offer personalized skateboarding lessons for kids of all levels, with a focus on building confidence, having fun, and developing foundational skills. Whether it's your child's first time stepping on a board or they’re looking to level up their tricks, my lessons are tailored to meet them where they're at. I create a positive, encouraging environment that makes learning feel exciting, not intimidating. Lessons can be one-on-one or in small group formats, with an emphasis on safety, creativity, and progression. I love helping young skaters discover their unique style and watching them surprise themselves with what they can do.
