Premier Skating Academy

I have been around the skating world, both figure skating and hockey for the last forty years. Melissa is one of the best coaches I have had the pleasure of knowing.

She has taught both my daughters in group classes. My older daughter is now taking lessons with her privately. The younger one is playing hockey.

She is warm and caring, and an excellent motivator. She really cares about all of her students and makes learning how to skate fun! Her deep knowledge of skating and how to effectively teach children to skate is evidenced in the daily interaction with her students.

She is one of the most professional coaches I have met. I would highly recommend her to other parents who are interested in having their children learn how to skate!

My kids have both worked with Melissa and her coaching staff from their first day on skates. She is a joy to work with, endlessly patient and always positive. I have always been impressed by her ability to meet each kid at their level. Her camps and classes are fun and give an individual sport a sense of team and camaraderie.

My daughter has loved all of her group classes, and always has a great time learning at her skill level alongside other skaters. I love how they all stay busy working on things independently but yet also support each other in a positive, team approach.

My granddaughter has been taking group and private lessons with Melissa for four years. Along with her experience, skill, and passion for the sport, Melissa demonstrates endless patience with her students. Melissa has taken my granddaughter from a beginner to Preliminary level. She always looks forward to her lessons and loves the sport.
