Super Prof

Bobby is one of our best tutors. They have a high-quality profile, verified qualifications, a quick response time, and great reviews from students!

About the lesson

I will always begin my lessons by asking what it is you would like to get out of it. I will see where you are at ability wish and work from there.
If you would prefer a more general, open ended lesson, then I am happy to make suggestions as to what to try.
Depending on your style of learning, I will either give advice and let you try yourself, or assist you with 2 arms and work our way down to solo.
Lessons are typically 1 hour or 1.5 hours.

About Bobby

Skateboarding is my biggest passion. As well as teaching lessons I also work at Hop Kingdom indoor skatepark. I am always learning myself, and try to learn something new every single time I skate (which is usually 4+ times a week). Watching others progress gives me the same feeling as landing a trick myself.

Perfect! A super nice guy, who made me feel comfortable from lesson 1. Skilled, patient, friendly, what more could you want?

I wasn’t able to skateboard before the lesson now I feel a lot more comfortable in using the board alone. We went through basics and built up to using the board with support to completely alone, felt very fun and easy to learn and understand and am excited to skate again!

I’ve had a few lessons with Bobby and he’s absolutely brilliant. He’s patient, understanding and dedicated in helping you achieve your goals. He’s a very talented skateboarder and can teach you all things from street to transition and is also very flexible in where he can teach you. On top of that he’s so friendly a great laugh! I highly recommend!

My 6 year old has started skateboarding lessons with Bobby a few months ago and she is loving it! Bobby is very patient and explains everything clearly, he also gives lots of praise throughout the lesson, he is just naturally great with kids!
Bobby sends feedback after each lesson and explains what they’ve been working on, what the next steps are and what we could practise until the next lesson. Not only does he take his job very seriously, he is also such a nice guy and makes every lesson fun and exciting!

I've had a few really great skate lessons with Bobby and he has helped me hugely with getting some specific new things locked in. He is really clear and patient and knows exactly how to break down what you are trying to learn. I couldn't recommend him enough, for whatever level you are at!

I have been taking classes with Bobby for about half a year now. He is very positive, encouraging and passionate about skateboarding.
He explains everything very clearly and helps you with the trick/transition/... that you are learning until you are confident enough to go solo. It does not matter how much time you need, he will be there and help you through the process until you achieve your goals.
He is an amazing teacher.

Bobby has been absolutely fantastic with our son. He’s professional, friendly, and welcoming whilst also being very skilled at teaching new techniques, excellent at using different methodologies to teach. Our son has had 6 skateboarding teachers over the past 4 years and Bobby is clearly the best. Highly recommended
