I have been a tennis coach with Peter Burwash International (PBI) for over 40 years. PBI is the recognized leader in tennis instruction with locations worldwide. I spent the past five years as head tennis coach at the Tokyo Lawn Tennis Club in Japan. PBI tennis teaching techniques have been tried and perfected over this time, making it easy to learn and improve. I love getting people to enjoy tennis by improving their play.
