Hello, I'm John Philip, originally from The Caribbean. I hold a master's degree in accounting from college. For over 35 years, I've dedicated myself to teaching tennis professionally, earning certification as a USPTR Professional 1. My experience spans across all age groups, where I've fostered a passion for tennis and skill development in countless students.
"The lesson with John was quite helpful, especially in working on my serve and return. Though I still need to work on consistency, I appreciated how he explained some of the court positioning, which made a noticeable difference. Still, I’m hoping the next lesson can focus a bit more on footwork to improve that aspect. If you're looking for someone who’s attentive and makes effort to clarify technique, you might find John worth trying.

With a decade on the court, I bring experience from competitive play to every lesson. In high school, I played Varsity Tennis, then in college was club team captain. I coached high school level players between NTRP 2-4.5 but am open to all ages! I help students of all levels discover their potential and ignite a passion for tennis. My approach is both strategic and fun, focused on building a solid foundation.
"I'm feeling pretty good about my progress in the lesson, especially since Edmond really helped clarify some key points. Though, he did mention keeping at it before it gets too cold, which makes sense. I think the lesson was quite helpful, especially with focusing on my stance and swing. Still, I’m hopeful there’ll be more on footwork in future sessions. If you're after steady, practical advice, Edmond's worth trying out.

"Getting more comfortable with my form really made a difference during the lesson, and Sean’s help is definitely pushing my golf swing to be stronger and more powerful. Though I still want to work on generating more distance, I feel like I’m on the right track. Still, I think focusing on that aspect could really make a difference next time. If you're looking to improve your swing with a steady, measured approach, I’d suggest giving Sean a try.

With a 4.8 handicap and a passion for the game of golf, I love teaching people how to play and improve their skills. The joy for me comes from witnessing my students' success. Showing them tricks or giving a tip, then watching them execute it perfectly and seeing their faces light up is priceless. This is what drives my enthusiasm for coaching and helping others excel in golf.
"Been golfing for 10 years and never seems to get the right practice sessions in to improve my game. Mike was awesome! He started with the fundamentals and corrected what I was doing wrong pretty quick. Getting on the right track was easy with his instruction, and he gave me some take home drills to practice on outside of our lesson. 10/10 recommend him.
