I met Michael as an adult beginner (in my thirties). Having recovered from a recent injury I lacked in confidence & definitely “had the fear” getting back on my board. Michael could see this and was totally understanding and patient. He was super positive & really encouraging all the way through the session. During my first lesson he taught me the correct foot placement, pushing around, carving, doing kick-turns and even riding off a curb. The session was well thought out and adapted to suit my abilities and any requests I might have had. Michael is a total professional and made me feel relaxed and safe but also challenged me in order to improve. Most importantly, Michael made the session super fun and I can already feel my confidence coming back. I highly recommend Michael as an instructor and skates & ladders as a company and can’t wait for my next lesson! If you’re anything like me, a not-so-young beginner and a little nervous and wondering whether it’s too late to start skateboarding - it’s not! Go for it - You’ll love it! :)

My girlfriend bought me a skate lesson with Skates & Ladders for my 28th birthday as I had always wanted to try. So so glad we did it. We had such fun. Our instructor was Dimitar and I am so thankful for his patience and encouragement. He never made us feel stupid for getting something wrong, or out of place because of our age. He knew his stuff and was very clear in explaining what to do. He kept us motivated by giving high fives and letting us know when we’d done something well. I would recommend this school to anyone who wants to learn how to skate. The range of locations they can teach at makes it really convenient too. Will be booking our second lesson in a few weeks, and hopefully join the Girl Venture group soon!
Great tuition. My 9 year old had a fab group lesson with a couple of other kids. Oliver was attentive, encouraging and really focused on helping the kids to get to grips with the basic (and some cool little tricks, too). I would definitely recommend Skates and Ladders to any parent looking to introduce their kid to the sport.
Think you’re too old to learn to skateboard? Think again! My 6 year old bought us both a lesson for my 43rd birthday and today we had just the most fun ever! Greg and Hassan were fantastic: friendly, calm and very patient with us as we’re total beginners! They provide all safety equipment and made sure we felt safe at all times. They spent time taking us through the basics and after an hour, I still can’t believe how confident I felt on the board! Such a great experience! Thank you guys for making it so easy and such fun for us both!
We had a brilliant 1-2-1 beginners lesson with Joseph. He kitted us out with everything we needed to get started and talked us through everything we needed to know. He was also able to work with both of us as we got the hang of things at different speeds. Lots of fun had despite a rainy day! We'll definitely be going back for more! :)
