About

I have been a tennis instructor for about ten years after having a successful high school and college tennis career. I am very flexible with the day of the week as well as the time of day, and I can easily travel to the closest location for you. I have many years of experience teaching tennis to all ages and levels. The rate is $80 per hour, and the total hourly price is the same if you add friends to the lesson. (If you have four participants, it would be $20 each per student) I love playing and teaching the sport of tennis, and I hope I can have the opportunity to be your instructor! Please read through my profile to look at the reviews my former and current students have said about their experience with me.

I started tennis about 5 years ago in college. Most of my tennis was self-taught, supplemented with YouTube videos, and much of my practice time was trial-and-error based, aided by a video camera. In the past 2 years I've been trying to shore up my game so I can play at a competitive level. But my work schedule does not leave much time to drive out to private tennis centers for instruction. I needed someone who could work with improving my game at a personal level, but was also willing to work with me for scheduling. Tom provides the coaching I've been lacking. He has played competitive tennis for many years, and has a very sound understanding of the game. He explains things well in detail, and patiently answers any questions or doubts I have. I report to him after my matches and we analyze what I need to work on, to always have a lesson plan. This keeps our lessons interesting and productive. It's been a pleasure to work with Tom to improve my tennis game.

Tom has been a great trainer! My wife and I are first time tennis players and have enjoyed learning the sport with Tom's help. He is patient, flexible, and thorough.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I offer the same $75 hourly rate if you have a solo lesson or a group lesson. (If you have 3 students together, the $75 cost can be split $25 per student) I'm also flexible with the price if you buy several lessons in advance.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Every tennis student is different. I have a variety of drills for all skill levels, and I can customize a lesson plan for each individual depending on what they want to work on.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I was a team captain for my high school and college teams for 5 years, and I led training sessions for the new players on the team. I have experience in training brand new players and advanced players of all ages.
