About
Many of my students have come with previous experience with other coaches. The main stand out that they mention to me is that I am full of energy, tailor the drills to their needs, and most importantly - show them they can have fun while learning the game. This applies both to what students themselves express as well as parents have on behalf of their kids.
Nothing, and I mean nothing, puts a bigger smile on my face than when I see someone who wants to have fun and learn tennis do so.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
Every first lesson will start with an assessment just to see where the student is. Easy and typical strokes such as forehand, backhand, volleys, etc. I always make sure the student is warmed up to avoid any injuries. I focus on what the student wants to improve on while also seeing what the weaknesses are. Then, I can start to help the student improve on those weaknesses while also enjoying tennis.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have played tennis since I was 5 years old, now for over 20 years. For the last 8 years, I have given a lot of private and group lessons. I played throughout my entire childhood USTA up to the national level tournaments.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
A private lesson is $45 an hour. Semi-private is $40 per person for the hour. Group lessons are $35 per person for the hour.
How did you get started teaching?
I always loved tennis, and the thing with tennis is that its a sport that you can pass down the knowledge. I love sharing with kids and adults different ways how they can improve their game and have fun at the same time.
What types of students have you worked with?
From all age groups to all different levels. As little as 4 years old to as old as 78. From beginner, to tournament playing students.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Look for a teacher that will truly fulfill your desires. While the teacher may know best, its still important to have fun. And the best way to do so is to tell the teacher what you want to improve on.
