Testimonials
“Wendy is a wonderful teacher who understands kids, knows how to communicate with parents, and has a deep knowledge of, and perspective on the art of figure skating. She is caring, encouraging, talented, creative and professional. She has inspired my daughter to do her best in realistic and supportive ways. My daughter has especially loved working with Wendy on choreography, music and costumes; she loves that Wendy listens to her and takes her ideas seriously. As a parent, I appreciate how clearly Wendy communicates, and how generous she has been in offering extra group and private classes (both on and off the ice), and help with logistics, equipment and costumes. She has helped our whole family to see the benefits of figure skating. Most of all, we value the relationship she has cultivated with our daughter as a mentor and role model. Wendy is truly the best”

“My daughter started learning ice skating with Wendy for over a year and a half. She loves Wendy so much. Wendy is kind and patient. She knows how to motivate my girls and makes my daughter so passionate about ice skating. She also guides us to learn about the ice skating world. From skates, dress and hair accessories we have learned a lot from her. We are so glad to have Wendy as my daughter’s coach. We strongly recommend her.

“After making a New Year’s Resolution to learn a new sport, I began looking for skating coaches that would be willing to take on an adult beginner for private lessons. While some coached referred me to group lessons to learn the basics (not an option with my schedule), Wendy was 100% enthusiastic and encouraging in her response! We started weekly private lesson, and I am happy to say these have given me flexibility, tailored learning, and continuity that I can get from my group classes. As a coach, Wendy is patient and attentive. Every lesson, she pushes me slightly out of my comfort zone - in a good way. We have a great time every week, and I always leave the ice having learned something new. I highly recommend Wendy as a skating coach!”
