Frequently asked questions

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

I evaluate the level first, if it's a beginner, I start with setting a goal, explanation & demonstration of the correct grip & proper positioning on the court. At the beginning, we work on separate strokes like forehand, backhand , volley & serve & gradually progress forward.

When the person is not a beginner, I create drills to work on a weaker point, we work on the footwork & I make sure we hit a rally at some point during the session.

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

I am also AAA/ISMA & NFPT certified. ( personal trainer )

it of course helps me to understand how our bodies work which is important when it comes to injuries

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

I charge $60/hour

How did you get started teaching?

I used to play pro but unfortunately got injured & had to quit my professional career.

Tennis is part of my life , so I couldn't let it go completely, so I decided to start teaching & help other people reach their goals

What types of students have you worked with?

I teach kids & adults, any level from beginners to advanced

What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?

You have to set a goal & be committed & dedicated if you want to see a progress. Tennis is a difficult sport to learn but everything can be achieved as long as you work for it.

Nd it will be my pleasure to help you 😊
