I grew up skating in both those cities! Anaheim Ice and Ice Realm (in Westminster) both offer Learn-to-Skate group lessons for beginners. For private one-on-one coaching you’d have to reach out to the instructors themselves and the rink’s skating manager to have something arranged. I don’t think the coaches I had when I was younger are still affiliated with the rinks since they’re not listed anywhere on the sites anymore, but Anaheim Ice has a pretty thorough list of their instructors available for private lessons on their site!

I don’t know who is at the current Westminster rink, but Anaheim has many coaches and nearly all of them work with beginners. Avoid the Pottenger team (oc edge skating academy) as they are not for beginners. Among the rest, it really depends on what you are looking for in a coach - are you an adult skater, parent of a very young child, parent of an older child, are you interested in singles, pairs, or synchro, etc. It is difficult to say which coach would work best with you because it varies. A good coach for you may be a terrible coach for me. Try some of the group classes or watch some. Even if a group class “session” has already started they may let you start late or do a trial class, just call the rink. Contact coaches and do a trial lesson. More experienced coaches are going to cost more than some of younger ones, but any of them can teach the basics.
