Frequently asked questions

What is your typical process for working with a new student?

Start with split step used by all professional players to begin movement to hit all tennis balls. Then I teach the same modern techniques you will see on TV. Powerful accurate serves use the kinetic chain from the ground up to the racquet head. These teaching techniques can transfer the child to a top tennis player.

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

Initially trained by Billy Jean King.& and Dennis VanDerMeer. I am a PTR Certified Instructor. Joined Princeton Tennis Program as Instructor. Then became Girls Tennis Coach for Trenton Catholic Academy. Later created a successful Boys Tennis Team at TCA. Coached 16 years until TCA closed in 2023.

Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.

$20/hour for up to 2 highschool students who are dedicated to improve.
