Dear Families,
If your child is avoiding or resisting learning how to ride a bike, I would love to help them overcome the fear that’s holding them back. I provide in-person lessons, for all ages and abilities, in Oviedo, FL. If you don’t live close enough for in-person lessons, you can teach your child using this book that guides you through my system of steps that I use with all of my students.
This little man was sure he wouldn’t learn how to ride a bike. Two lessons later and he is cruising. His mom sent this video of him practicing and completing a whole lap.
Fee for bicycle lessons is $25.00/15 minutes. Lessons are usually scheduled 30 minutes long because this amount of time appears to work best for students. We can have a longer lesson if you’re traveling from a long distance and we can have a shorter lesson if your child can endure only 15 minutes. $1.00 is added to each 15-min. when paying with PayPal, credit, or debit card.
How does this work?
Call me and we’ll set up your child’s first lesson date and time. Then, I’ll send you directions to the lesson location. You can bring your child’s bike or we can use one that I provide. At the beginning of the first lesson, I introduce your child to the list of skills that they’ll work through, from sitting on the seat to turning while rolling. I introduce the next skill when their body shows increased comfort and confidence.
How many lessons will you need?
This depends on your child’s balance, coordination, and the intensity of fear of falling. Most children learn in 3 lessons. Occasionally, a child will learn in one lesson and children with special needs may need ten or more. Most students do weekly lessons. For those who cannot attend weekly because of distance, schedule, and/or finances, I provide “homework” and their next lesson is scheduled when they’re able.
