Coach Amir can accurately identify the advantage of the kids and the area need to improve then provide the professional instruction. The instruction is strict but the kids are happy to practice and feel more confidence.

Coach Amir is passionate and highly knowledgeable. His coaching style teaches children not only a skill, but also responsibility. His lessons are power-packed, meaningful, yet still gives our child something to take away to reflect on. We’ve enjoyed our time so far and look forward to our son advancing quickly under his watchful eye. I love that he cares about fostering a well-rounded athlete.

My son started tennis lessons with coach Amir 2 months and he really liked the lessons. Coach Amir is very professional, strict and systematic. I can see clear improvement just after several sessions. He is a great coach and knows how to push kids to the high bar

I came to coach Amir just wanting to improve my skills for the love of the game. I had never had formal tennis training or lessons before, and after just 3 lessons, I had won my first USTA tournament. Amir is not only a gifted teacher when it comes to technique, but is also able to clearly educate you in competitive strategy. He teaches you not just what you need to do, but why you need to do it, and gives you the background behind everything you do to equip you with the knowledge and recognition to also improve outside of your lessons. 100% worth it whether you are a casual player just looking to get as good as you can for the fun of it, or a competitive player (junior or adult alike) looking to maximize your tournament results. To go along with the tennis side, he’s also a really nice person and very easy to work with. Highly recommend.

Amir is an excellent coach. He's super knowledgeable and is able to give specific feedback with quick results. He has a great understanding of the underlying mechanics of tennis and gives an intuitive explanation for everything he teaches. I've learned a ton so far and look forward to continuing to learn from Coach Amir.

I only started recently but Coach A has been super friendly and fun during lessons. He starts from the small details and works up to the big picture and he’s very patient as well as enthusiastic with his clients. You can tell he loves what he does, thanks coach :)

Amir is a very smart coach. His coaching style is highly dynamic so he can adapt his coaching style to personalize for you. He is able to point out things that will instantly take your game to the next level of you’re willing to spend some time to think through and practice. He is also very personable. Don’t let his car salesman attitude push you away. I assure you he is a genuinely nice guy.

Coach A is very professional at coaching and insightful in tennis. Amicable and fun to my two young kids, he is not lacking of discipline. His coach style is well balance between physical and mental, fun seeking and hardworking, theoretical and practical. He articulates amazingly well. All these great virtues are driven by his love and passion for tennis! Highly recommended.

In a very short amount of time coach Amir has helped make significant improvement to my game. I use to think it takes multiple coaching sessions over weeks to fix/learn strokes but coach Amir was able to fix my technique with just one session. Any new player looking for proper guidance/training should consider taking lessons through coaching vault.

Coach Amir is very outgoing and such an amazing coach. I had my first lesson for the first time today and he teaches you everything from fitness to match play analysis. Just from today I think I have become a better player from his advice and I would recommend anyone to come try his lessons out because it is worth the time

I am a beginner and have learned a ton of Coach Amir in only 2 lessons. He's a fantastic instructor, and I'll continue to take lessons from him.

Amazing coach. Can’t believe how much I learned in a day, probably more than anyone you’ll find in Houston. Great coach, great training, I recommend anyone come try and they won’t regret it.

Coach Amir can explain and break down techniques better than anyone I have worked with so far. I take private lessons and then attend the weekend camps to bring everything together.

“Coach Amir is excellent. I am a beginner in my 30s and decided that having tennis lessons would be the best way to develop great habits from the start. I am confident after just two lessons that I am very lucky to have found Coach Amir. Quality of teaching varies tremendously; coaches are NOT equal. Coach Amir is extremely methodical and is very patient. I have a science/medicine background (I am a practicing surgeon), and I appreciate how scientific his approach feels and that he is able to explain the physics/mechanics behind every nuance. In a very short time, I have developed the foundations for a consistent,  high-speed, and very controlled forehand (with pretty cool top spin!). ”

Coach Amir is a dedicated and amazing tennis coach. I’ve been playing tennis for 13 years and went to many academies, tennis camps for more than 10 years and Amir’s results speak for themselves. He has greatly improved my tennis and my fitness level. His advice makes sense and he is great with all ages.

We just started lessons with this coach and our first impressions are very positive. He is very detailed and covers all aspects of tennis.

Amir has worked with my kids for a few months now and the improvement and intensity in their games has been exponential. They are more confident in their shots and play matches with a plan. His attention to detail and ability to convey his message in a way that is logical to a player regardless of their age or ability is a gift. Whether a student is a beginner or seasoned player, Amir's dedication and enthusiasm toward his clientele is a true motivator to become a better player.

Amir is a great coach. He has a strong knowledge of the modern tennis swing and an effective manner of communicating this information allowing for quick improvement. I have had lessons from many pros before and Amir is the best. Highly recommended

I don’t normally write reviews but I felt compelled to do so in this case. I played competitie tennis at a high level growing up all the way through high school and then continued playing competiively in college and grad school with friends and colleagues. After continuing to play casually on and off I put the racquet down in my late 30’s due to chronic back issues and simply got busy with work and kids. Recently at the age of 49 after getting myself back in shape and yearning to play again, I decided to find myself a coach to help me get back into playing tennis at not only a high level but the right way. And frankly I am incredibly lucky to have found Amir. I have had lessons over the years but I have learned more in only 5+ lessons from Amir than I have my whole life playing tennis. He was able to quickly diagnose the potential in my game and more importantly issues with my technique and footwork. I couldn’t believe how spot on he was and how quickly he’s been able to teach me the right technique with my groundstrokes and footwork. I also know that once I get my fundamentals down he will then provide good insight into strategy when playing matches. He’s also particularly focused on teaching a modern style of tennis that wil position me better to stand out from the pack. Bottom line, I couldn’t recommend Amir more. He’s very experienced and tennis smart and takes a very different and, in my opinion, better approach to teaching tennis than what you see today. Most importantly, he’s passionate about it. This is his profession and he’s committed to being the best at it. I am looking forward to seeing just how far Amir can take my game as I seek to play competitively again both locally and hopefully nationally.

Amir has done an amazing and flawless job in teaching me new techniques and how to execute them. He is very personable, technical, flexible, and has a strong sense of how the game is played. From only a few hours of lessons, it is obvious he loves the game and wants his students to be able to play tennis effectively! My game has greatly improved and I feel I will have a much stronger edge when I play tennis thanks to Amir.

My doubles partner and I wanted to elevate our game and were very selective about the coach we chose. Amir has exceeded our expectations. He is very insightful on everything from stroke and stance selection to overall game strategy. Our game and understanding of strategy has increased dramatically. I highly recommend Amir as a coach.

Knowledgeable Able to assess ones game, break down the individuals game where it can be improved the most, and then provide guidance and drills that will help to improve those areas Work hard and apply Amir's coaching, training and guidance and you will improve

Nadia Zlatkova

We liked Coach Amir from the very first lesson he had with our daughter. We were impressed with his unique training system, which focused on both technical skills and physical shape. He was analyzing her performance during every step of the practice and provided specific recommendations about the areas that needed improvement. He also assigned a set of exercises that she could do on her own every day in order to address the problem areas and polish her technique. We are convinced we have made the right choice with Coach Amir and are looking forward to working with him on a long term basis.

Coach Amir is the best! I’m a beginner and I learned a lot at the first class itself. He taught everything in a systematic and professional way from the very beginning and definitely he has a lot of patience too. I’m glad that I came at the best academy for training. Can’t wait to learn more.
