Personal Gymnastics Sessions for Children in London by a Registered and Qualified Teacher
Methodology
Gymnastics lessons for your child/children in the comfort of your own home. Your children will learn many gymnastics skills (jumps, balances, rolls, cartwheels, handstands, walkovers, handsprings, somersaults, etc.) and create positive attitudes towards physical activity while developing their strength, flexibility and coordination. You will need just a little bit of space and a yoga/gym mat to start.
For primary school children I can also deliver the Core Proficiency Awards Scheme which has been developed by British Gymnastics (the National Governing Body for the sport of Gymnastics in the UK). These Awards progressively develop core skills such as Balance, Strength, Flexibility & Coordination, with 8 levels of attainment, and provide children with the motivation of earning rewards for achievement in the form of certificates, badges and a gold medal.
Experience
I am Dr Stefan Kolimechkov, and I am a fully insured and qualified personal trainer, gymnastics coach, as well as a registered exercise professional.
I provide gymnastics lessons for children in London in the comfort of your own home. Sessions are available on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays (please book in advance).
You can find more information on my website, but with a few words, I have more than 10 years experience in teaching gymnastics at all levels, and my research focuses on assessing physical fitness, physical activity and nutritional diet. I am a Registered Scientist (RSci) in the United Kingdom, as well as the Editor-in-Chief of the European Journal of Physical Education and Sport Science (ISSN 2501 - 1235).
