As a young teaching pro, I will never over instruct my students. I will enhance what you’ve already got by fixing bad habbits and introducing new skills to help you reach the levels you never thought possible.

During an introductory session, I will offer a 1 to 2 hour lesson during which time I will get to know you on a slightly personal and instructional level. I will first hit with you for 5 to 10 minutes without any comments or corrections, and then will briefly ask what he or she is interested in improving.

I will also make accurate technical corrections in your game (footwork, grip, swing speed, placement, follow-through, striking point, etc.) and will eventually introduce skills and strategies to enhance and improve your ability to play points, games and eventually a full set or match.
