Fred is an outstanding tennis instructor! He is patient, informative, and challenging. As a beginner, I was hesitant to start playing, but Fred's optimism and high-energy lessons motivated me to stick with it! I highly recommend Fred as a tennis coach. Thanks, Fred!

My friend and I took our first ever tennis lesson. We are absolute beginners - John was very receptive and adapted the lesson based on our playing. He was on the court on time, before we arrived. We are definitely excited about playing more tennis now that we have someone to guide us!

Fred is a fantastic tennis instructor! I am a beginner/intermediate and he has helped me so tremendously in a short period of time. It is clear that he has experience and knowledge, but he also makes our lessons really fun. I would highly recommend Fred to a player of any level!

I've been a beginner at tennis for a long time and it wasn't until working with Fred hat he was immediately able to improve my swing and my game. It's only been 2 lessons so far and I'm amazed by how quickly I've already improved. Also, great and easy teacher to work with!

Fred has been doing a fantastic job of teaching all three of my young teen/tween kids at once. They were complete beginners when they started and now they have developed great looking swings. Fred is truly a fantastic teacher, he had them hitting gracefully within a couple of lessons. His gifts are not just his own ability to play tennis, but the ability to actually teach those skills effectively to others. Working with Fred during Covid was a lifesaver for me and my kids. He got them happily exercising while learning tennis!!

It's such a worthwhile experience to take lessons with Paul. I started as a total beginner (didn't know how to hold a racket), and am now ripping backends down the line (it's so satisfying). Group clinics helped me meet new people, and gain experience playing for points under pressure. Besides the quality of his technical instruction, Paul really cares about your improvement. For instance, it was a bit nerve wracking for me to join a group as a beginner, so we worked on the mental aspects of competition. And now I'm comfortable hopping into a doubles match or hitting with new people. I became a confident tennis player in a few months because of his coaching!

As a total beginner to tennis, I just had my very first lesson with Dmitriy, and I am already head over heels for the sport! The hour flew by like a minute. I've only just begun my journey with tennis, but Dmitriy swiftly helped me understand the key basics - footwork, the path of the racquet, and shuffle steps. Within the first third of the lesson, he pinpointed where I could grow and demonstrated, in a detailed and easy to follow manner, how I could improve.
While footwork might not seem like the most thrilling part of tennis to some, Dmitriy made me realize how crucial it is for my overall game performance. Mastering this will undeniably boost both my consistency and self-assurance on the court. Miraculously, by the end of our hour together, my forehand was already transformed! Can't wait to tackle my backhand and serve next. :)
Walking off the court, I felt an incredible surge of energy and anticipation for the potential of my future games under Dmitriy's supervision. I am thrilled to have discovered him on this platform!

Sam is an excellent instructor, especially for beginners! I'm brand new to tennis and Sam did a great job of breaking down the swing (both forehand and backhand) into the various components, which really helped me understand exactly what parts I was doing right and what parts I needed to work on. Sam is also great at adjusting the lesson based on the needs of the student -- for example, I was struggling with my follow through, so we did a few drills where I focused only on that part of the swing, which I found super helpful in putting everything together. I'm excited to start practicing on my own based on what Sam has taught me and looking forward to signing up for more lessons to see what else I could be improve on. Thanks Sam!
