Private Lesson Request Form

How it works

Fill out the private lesson request form below. In two to four weeks, a coach will contact you to schedule a private lesson time with you, or the Lesson Director will get back to you about your time availability.

By sending a private lesson request form below, you agree to and are subject to the payments and policies set by the Fairfax Ice Arena and the coach:

Payments

The private lesson fee for the scheduled lesson must be paid on the day of your lesson through the online platform designated by Fairfax Ice Arena. Do not pay the coach's private lesson fee until the day of your confirmed schedule of private lesson.
At the rink, there is a self-service kiosk available for customers to use in making private lesson payments. It is located to the left of the Lesson Office. You may also use your own smart phone device. If you have any questions or need assistance, please see staff at the Lesson Office or the Box Office. For inquiries about your account and payments, please contact us.
The private lesson fee does not include the payment for ice time. Ice time refers to a public skate session or a freestyle session which must be paid in addition to your private lesson fee and is paid before your are allowed on the ice. Ice time fees include the public skate session admission fee and skate rental fee, or freestyle session fee depending which type of session you have scheduled with your coach.These fees must be paid PRIOR to getting on the ice for public skate session to have a private lesson even if you are running late. Admission and skate rental for a public skate session must be paid at the Box Office before entering and getting on the ice for your private lesson. It is the responsibility of the customer to arrive in a timely fashion for their private lesson, which includes making time for waiting in line to be admitted at a public skate session. Customers may not go through the line or step on the ice for their private lesson until admission and skate rental has been paid.
For freestyle sessions, please create an account online to purchase your freestyle session admission. Spaces are limited for freestyle sessions and customers must register in advance PRIOR to getting on the ice. It is the responsibility of the customer to register in advance and arrive in a timely fashion for their private lesson. Please note that once a freestyle session is full, a skater may not be added onto that session whether or not they had a private lesson scheduled. Please speak with the Office Manager or Lesson Office if you need assistance with the freestyle session platform.
Late fees for a no-show and for scheduled lessons that are not cancelled with your coach 24 hours in advance. Cancellations with your coach must be submitted directly to your coach in writing (text or email).

Policies

Full payments for a prescheduled private lesson are due on the day of your scheduled private lesson and must be made on the online platform designated by Fairfax Ice Arena.
Private lessons must be cancelled or rescheduled 24 hours in advance directly with your coach in writing (text or email).
Late fee payments are due for no-shows, and lessons that were not cancelled 24 hours in advance directly with your coach in writing (text or email).
Skaters who are late for their scheduled private lessons must pay for the full scheduled lesson coach's fee, and may not be honored for the length of time agreed as coaches have other scheduled private lessons.
Failure to make payments after a private lesson was taken may result in additional fees, collection, and a ban from Fairfax Ice Arena until payments are made.

If you have any questions regarding your accounts or payments, contact us.

A private lesson is a great way to get additional coaching on the skills that you are learning in our group lessons. It is also for individuals who want to commit to mastering figure skating skills, or pursue competitive figure skating.

Private lessons are one-on-one instruction. We only allow one student at a time with a private instructor. Private lessons are held during public ice skating sessions and freestyle sessions for high-level figure skaters. Be sure to check our most up-to-date schedules for public ice skating and freestyle sessions. Private lessons can not be accommodated outside of these times.
