Tennis lessons near me in Chicago, IL

We’ll start by identifying your strengths and areas for improvement. I’ll observe your strokes, movement, and consistency, then focus on refining technique and timing. We’ll also work on rhythm, spin control, and cleaning up any habits that may be holding you back.

Though best to have a racquet with grip appropriate for your hand size, I can provide up to 2 racquets if required. Please request prior to lessons. I bring all balls and other equipment required. Bring beverage to hydrate😀

Please bring at least 3 new or lightly used tennis balls that are not “flat”! 6 or more balls is ideal, especially for beginner or intermediate players.

Racquets are strongly recommended, hydration such as water and electrolytes.

When teaching kids tennis, I focus on making lessons fun and engaging. I keep instructions simple and clear, focusing on one concept at a time. I rotate activities often to maintain attention and encourage teamwork through group drills. I prioritize basic skills like footwork, grip, and simple rallies while keeping the atmosphere supportive and motivating. I emphasize fun over results and celebrate effort to build confidence and enjoyment in the sport.

I love working with kids as it provides both a challenge, but a greater reward having helped mentored a youth passionate about the sport that I love. I’ll tailor each lesson based on my student’s skill level, and create a fun, yet challenging experience for new players!
