Martha G. | Cumming, GA
“I am a USPTA tennis professional with more than 15 years of teaching experience.”

Ryan J. | Bridgeport, CT

“Ryan is terrific and has a patient, caring way with the 8-year-old girls in this, their first venture with tennis. He made it fun and they are hooked.” – Pam H. September 2014
Steve D. | Chicago, IL
“Whether you’re a beginner or a high-level tournament player I guarantee l will take you to the next level.”
“His ability to connect with children is extraordinary. My son, in particular, taking his very first set of tennis lessons, went from a complete novice to an enthusiastic player. My nine-year-old daughter improved dramatically and proclaimed, ‘Tennis is my favorite game!’” – Jennifer W. August 2014
Joey R. | Watauga, TX
“I believe that every player is different, so I like to focus on the strengths of the student, and find ways to build overall confidence in areas that are weaker.”
“My son loves his lessons with Joey! He looks forward to practice, even in the heat. It just gets better and better.” – Lani T. June 2015
Guy D. | Costa Mesa, CA
“I’m energetic, technical and a lot of fun.”
“We are having such a great experience with Guy. My son enjoys his lessons so much we have increased the number of classes during the week. His serve has improved dramatically. Great coach. Thank you, Guy.” Shabnam B. July 2015
Ken D. | Old Bridge, NJ
“I teach tennis to all levels and ages and have been teaching for 14 plus years.”
“Coach Ken has been great … my daughter actually can’t wait for her lessons. I’ve seen improvement in only three lessons so far. He definitely has a way with kids. I would recommend him to anyone.” – Kim S. July 2014
Jahan K. | Chantilly, VA
“My lessons are high impact with lots of instruction based on the player’s need. I incorporate drills, conditioning and then conclude with live ball scenarios. Tennis equals LIFE!”
“I am so thankful I found Jahan! He is such a good teacher to my son, who is 7 years old and a very nervous, insecure beginner to all sports. My son fell in love with tennis after his very first lesson with Jahan! My son is so much more confident now and it shows in the way he plays with the other kids at recess. I’m so thankful I made this choice!” – Sun S. May 2015
Francois C. | San Diego, CA
“High performance certified coach with two decades of experience teaching all levels and ages.”
“My son has been looking for a way to reach advanced level. Most of coaches he tried didn’t have enough skill and athleticism to teach him while playing. Franco was the only one who can easily play with my son and pinpoint what my son needs to do to improve. I am happy to see them playing together and see my son improving.”- Insung K. May 2015
Chris H. | Petaluma, CA
“My style of teaching develops you into a balanced and solid player.”
“We have tried every sport with our daughter, she hasn’t been interested in any of them, until we met Chris and started tennis lessons. Now she wakes up eagerly every Monday, looking forward to her lesson. She is excelling and we see a bright future in tennis. Thank you, Chris!” – Cara N. May 2015
