Welcome!
My name is Richy. I started playing tennis at the age of 5 with my father and siblings back in Cameroon, Africa. I was blessed to receive a full tennis scholarship to come to the US to continue my education and tennis career. I had an illustrious NCAA division 1 athletic and academic career at Jackson State University, having graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Engineering and a Master’s degree in Computer Science, as well as a plethora of tennis honors including All Tournament Team and All Conference Team selections for 5 straight years, a Coach’s Award and 5x student-athlete of the month.
I am a very experienced player and instructor, always dedicated to delivering the best quality of service.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I like to ask them how often they play to gauge their level and determine how to move forward with them. If they are beginners, we work on those important tennis bases to ensure that they have a strong foundation which will lead to a graceful progression.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have been a brilliant division 1 college tennis player for years and a PTR certified coach. I have been playing and studying the game since I was 5. I have a lot to offer when it comes to this sport.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
How did you get started teaching?
A few years ago I was running a tennis camp in Chicago over the summer. I taught around 30 players (kids, teens, adults) daily and never stopped teaching since then. I enjoy sharing my knowledge of the game to people who need it.
What types of students have you worked with?
Kids (5-11 years old).
High school players looking forward to playing college tennis (14-17 years old)
Division 1, 2&3 college players (18-23 years old)
Adults (25-45 years old)
Adults (50 and up)
Describe a recent event you are fond of.

What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Hire me, I'm a great choice. I have been doing this since a baby. I will know what to do with you based on your desired results.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
They should think about their goals and make sure that the instructor they intend to train with is competent enough to get them to that level.
