"Martin's patience really stood out to me, and I appreciated the helpful feedback on my serve. We started with some good warm up and then went over flat and kick serves which I’ve been struggling. The feedback he gave immediately improved my feel of the flat serve. He’s a chill dude and fun to work with. I'd suggest giving Martin a shot if you're looking to improve your tennis skills gently and thoughtfully.

"Getting a lesson with Timothy was quite helpful, especially since I’d say the lesson highlighted some useful areas to focus on. Though, I’d still like to see more emphasis on my swing mechanics to really feel confident. Anyway, definitely worth trying if you want a balanced approach to improving your golf game.

"Really good tennis player who I enjoyed learning from.

I've dedicated 30 years to playing the violin and have taught for 20 years. I've was fortunate enough to study under several former pupils of the renowned Jascha Heifetz. Alongside my playing, I specialize in transcribing existing works for violin and piano and small ensembles, particularly drawn to the 20th-century violin repertoire.

"I learn so much from him. Every lesson I have learned something new, really eye-opening. Violin is tough but Andrew won't let you give up on it!
