About
My name is Quentin Silvand, a Level 2 ICP (Inline Certification Program) instructor since 2004.
My qualifications and experience make me one of the best instructors in the UK. I specialise in teaching children and families rollerblading and inline skating skills and have done for more than 7 years. My expertise is based on a lifelong involvement in skating and rollerblading since my own childhood. The skills I have developed from my love of my sport have enabled me to achieve competition success as the UK inline skate high-jump champion for the last 6 years.
Although I am fully qualified to teach both adults and children, I have spent the last 4 years developing teaching strategies such as games, exercises and activities specifically designed to help children gain the most out of the sport, and aimed at developing, strengthening and educating children to get the most fun and physical benefit that they can out of inline skating and rollerblading. All of this experience and understanding means I am one of the top 3 instructors in the UK teaching inline skating and rollerblading to children.
