There was a clear emphasis on positioning, which I hadn't considered deeply before. I still need to work on my volleys, but I left feeling quite encouraged to practice those spots. Still, I think future lessons could benefit from more drills targeting footwork. Overall, I’d say Alvin has a calm, effective teaching style that makes learning feel natural. Definitely worth trying out if you're aiming to sharpen your pickleball skills. > From Supranee, 5 out of 5 > The lesson had a really good ratio of application versus instruction, which I found quite helpful. I look forward to more consistent return serve placement and skill development under Alvin’s coaching…his approach is quite effective. I’m optimistic about improving further and have asked for 2 lessons a week for up to 4 weeks and see where I am at that point. Alvin is also encouraging and light hearted. Great tweak and refine! Thank you Alvin! > From Bridget, 5 out of 5 > I'm glad I booked a lesson with Alvin because his approach was quite helpful. I particularly appreciated how he focused on my groundstrokes, which needed some fine-tuning. Although I still need to work on consistent placement, I’m hopeful my next lesson will build on what we covered. Anyway, if you're interested in improving your pickleball game with a thoughtful instructor, you might want to give Alvin a try. > From Supranee, 5 out of 5 > I’d say the lesson was quite helpful, especially since we focused on control. Though I still have some room to improve, I’m hopeful that more guided drills will help me hold steady and enhance my consistency. Alvin's approach was steady, and I think a bit more practice will really solidify what we covered. Still, it’s definitely worth trying him out if you’re aiming to sharpen your control on the court. > From Anne, 5 out of 5 > This was my second pickleball training session with Alvin and honestly, I appreciated how he was patient and really helpful throughout. The drills with other players made it quite fun and I feel like I learned useful techniques, especially from the lesson highlight. Though there’s still room to improve, I think Alvin’s teaching style suits me well and I might keep going with more lessons. > From Grace, 5 out of 5 > Honestly, I think Alvin’s lesson kept challenging me without feeling overwhelming, which I appreciate. The encouragement he offers is pretty good too, though, of course, there’s always room to keep advancing. I’m looking forward to building on what we worked on and improving further. If you’re into steady, practical coaching, Alvin might be worth trying out. > From Bridget, 5 out of 5 > I loved my lesson with Alvin. His patience, enthusiasm, and deep knowledge made the experience both enjoyable and productive. He gave clear, constructive feedback tailored to my skill level. If you want to improve your Pickleball game, Alvin’s lessons are definitely worth trying. You’ll come away with useful tips and a great attitude toward the game. 😊 > From Yvonne, 5 out of 5 > That lesson was quite helpful, honestly. Alvin's approach really made a difference in understanding my aiming, though I still have some work to do. He's such an attentive coach, still, I think a bit more focus on specific techniques would be beneficial for me. But I plan to keep learning from him because his helpful attitude makes it worth it. > From Supranee, 5 out of 5 ## Book - [Book on TeachMe.To](https://staging.teachme.to/listings/pickleball/pickleball-with-alvin-tabios): Pick a pack, a time, and a location, then pay. - [This coach in the agent API](https://staging-api.teachme.to/agent/v1/coaches/66975e94-57ba-4333-92a2-43792f014a92): Read open times, get an exact quote, and book for a student. - [Agent instructions](https://staging-api.teachme.to/agent/v1/llms.txt): Read this before calling the API.
