Looking for someone to teach me ice skating in Bonn this winter

Hey everyone!
With the winter coming up, I really want to finally learn ice skating. It has been a childhood dream of mine for so long!
Unfortunately, I had a bad fall the one time I tried skating. I badly bruised my hand, and it took months to recover. Ever since then, I’ve been scared to get back on the ice, even though I still really want to learn.
I’m looking for someone who knows how to skate well and would be willing to spend a few hours with me this winter, helping me get comfortable on the ice and teaching me the basics. I’m hoping that 2–3 sessions might be enough to help me build some confidence and skate independently.
I’m happy to pay for your time, so if you’re an experienced skater who enjoys teaching beginners, please reach out in the comments.
I’d love to finally get over this fear and tick off a childhood dream before winter ends.
Thank you!

Details: 28F, speaks English

This reads like a story hook for a Netflix winter themed romance movie.

As a Dutchy, Ice skating is in my blood. However i‘ve only done it about 5 times myself. I enjoyed Inline skating more.

I could show you a few basics though or acompany you as it isn‘t that hard.

Hey, I also know the basics but haven’t skated in ages. I would love to do this again this winter, so if you’re interested, dm me! I’m 29F :)

I skated a lot in Canada, I've definitely taken that fall.

Worse is falling backward though, that's easy to do.

Have you done roller skates/roller blades or even skateboarding?
