About
I come with 2 decades of experience and I love coaching now, more than ever! I have a passion for getting beginners started, or helping the advanced player get through the inevitable logjam. My calling has always been working with kids, but my goal is to provide an affordable, fun and challenging experience for anyone willing to give tennis a try.

Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
I charge just below the going rate for a professional lesson in Southern California. However, I do provide significant discounts for packages of 5 & 10 lessons. I bring all the equipment (balls, baskets, and demo racquets upon request).
How did you get started teaching?
I've always loved tennis! But it can be a tough sport to learn as quickly as we might prefer, and there are other hurdles. I like to get as many people playing as possible, while doing what I can to remove a few of those hurdles.
What types of students have you worked with?
I've worked with students from beginner to advanced. From 5 year olds to 75 year olds. I work with high school kids, players seeking greater success in tournaments and league play, and those that seek the tremendous physical and mental improvements tennis provides.
