Every review is from a real student or parent. No filtering, no cherry-picking. This is what people say after they take a lesson with Leon.
“I wouldn't be who I am today nor as confident in myself and what I do if it wasn't for this guy. He took something like teaching skateboarding and showed me it can be applied to a lot of things in life. He takes the time when teaching and never gets frustrated with you. Leon could teach me rocket science if he really wanted. He is that great!”

“I hired Leon for 3 skateboard lessons for my 6 year old boy who had never been on a skateboard before but was very interested. He was an amazing teacher. Even after the first lesson my son had made so much progress. Leon was kind, playful and intentional with his teaching style. Can't recommend him enough!”

“Leon is one of the best skater/teachers in New York. He's very knowledgeable. And also very patient with his students. Skating is very difficult and there is a lot of repetition. He will be guiding you the whole way making sure you land trick. Highly recommended if you or your child wants to get into skating.”

“I took three lessons with Leon this year, and can say that he is a naturally gifted teacher. I would confidently recommend him to anyone at any skating level — he's supportive and kind, but challenges you to hit the edge of your comfort zone.”

“I've known Leon since 2016, in that time not only has he helped me tremendously in skateboarding skill he became one of my best friends. The patience and ability to break down tricks seems to come naturally to Leon. I've seen him teach people of all shapes and sizes and ages and will 100% say he is worth your time!”
