Kris' Tennis Lessons

About this pro
Hi!
My name is Kris and I play D1 tennis at Northern Illinois University, where I play both #1 Singes and Doubles. My lessons stand out because I can also play with my students as a great hitting coach on top of teaching them. I've been playing tennis since I was 5 and have played hundreds of USTA Junior tournaments, as well as compete in professional ones now. Some of my recent accomplishments include:
-MAC Newcomer of the Year
-1st Team All MAC.
-Ending my season above a 13 UTR.
With my background of playing, I have a thorough understanding of how the game is played at a high level, but also am equally effective in teaching the fundamentals of the game to beginners!
Teaching tennis for me is always something I enjoy doing because my love for tennis makes teaching it come second nature to me, while also being very fun at the same time!
