Margarita Galimova
Margarita brings a great combination of elite competitive experience and deep artistic training to the ice. As a Master of Sports who has competed on the ISU Junior Grand Prix circuit, she knows exactly what it takes to perform under pressure at a high level.
What really makes her stand out is her formal background as a classical ballet artist. Margarita doesn't just run through elements; she actively works on a skater's posture, lines, and overall movement aesthetics. If you need a competitive program that actually looks like a performance rather than just a checklist of elements, she is the perfect choreographer for the job.
On the technical side, she is excellent at building strong foundational skating skills and stabilizing single and double jumps. But her "secret weapon" is her approach to the mental side of the sport. Coming from a family of sports psychologists, Margarita knows exactly how to build an athlete's mental resilience. She is great at keeping kids motivated and helping skaters push past mental blocks in a highly supportive, stress-free environment.
Margarita has coached across Europe and the CIS, and is fluent in English, Russian, Czech, and Spanish. This makes her incredibly easy to communicate with, whether she is working with a young child taking their first steps on the ice or an adult amateur looking to improve their flow and grace.

NIKITA PCHELYKOV 🇷🇺
Russia - Saint Petersburg
Skating Skills, Programs & Step Sequences Specialist
Nikita Pchelyakov is a skating skills coach working with leading single skaters in Saint Petersburg. According to Match TV, he works as a skating coach in the teams of Alexei Mishin and Valentina Chebotareva; in Mishin’s group, he has worked with Evgeny Semenenko, Gleb Lutfullin and Roman Khamzin.
Before coaching, Nikita competed in ice dance and trained in strong Russian ice dance environments, including the groups of Alexander Zhulin and Angelika Krylova. This background allows him to bring a deep understanding of edges, flow, body movement, rhythm and overall skating quality into his work with single skaters.
Nikita’s work focuses on skating skills, step sequences, program quality and the complete impression of the performance. He carefully analyzes each step, edge, transition and body position, helping skaters improve speed, control, musicality and the technical quality of their step sequences.
His coaching philosophy is not only about levels and technical calls, but about building a complete program where jumps, skating skills, choreography and presentation work together as one performance. In his interview, he emphasized that figure skating should be seen as a complete program, not only as a set of jumps.
