Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
An average tennis lesson costs about $60 - $80 but people are barely teaching the right fundamentals because of time limits. Therefore I'll rathern package my lessons for 90 mins in order for me to cover every aspect of the game from dynamic warm up to cool down.
How did you get started teaching?
I have been a competitor my career whether as being the best tennis player in Zimbabwe, i coach tennis to give back and help other people understand not everyone can be a champion but sports helps breath character and tennis is a lifetime sport, therefore might as well work on both health, the person and building a good athlete.
