I signed up for Tom’s 3-lesson intro and was blown away. • Lesson 1 focused on serves and returns—Tom’s simple cue of “aim deep and stay balanced” immediately improved my consistency. • Lesson 2 was all about dinking at the kitchen; he showed me how to soften my grip and stay patient instead of trying to smash everything. • Lesson 3 tied it together with the third-shot drop and smart positioning, which totally changed how I approach rallies. Tom keeps things clear, fun, and encouraging. I went from feeling awkward on the court… > From Jane, 5 out of 5 > Tom's lesson was quite good, honestly. He was very patient and seemed to understand how to connect with a beginner, which made a real difference. The focus on all the basics was helpful, and I can see myself improving overall. Though I know I still have a lot to learn, I feel encouraged to keep practicing with his guidance. If you're interested in steady progress and a thoughtful approach, you might want to consider giving Thomas a try. > From Ian, 5 out of 5 > Here you go. I have worked with Tom now for 2 years. He is a great instructor and has the ability to point out areas for improvement, in a way that makes it easy to incorporate. Very knowledgeable with the ability to pinpoint small adjustments that make a difference. There are many choices for instructors in the area, but my choice is always Tom! Nancy M. > From Nancy, 5 out of 5 > Learned more in 3 lessons than months on my own. Tom doesn’t waste time—each lesson had a clear focus, from consistent serves to soft dinks and strategy. I especially loved how he explained shot selection without overcomplicating things. I feel ready for recreational league play now. Worth every penny. > From Chris, 5 out of 5 > 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Tom made scoring finally make sense! I booked one lesson just to figure out the basics and how to keep score. Tom explained the rules so simply that I was playing a real game by the end of the hour. Super beginner-friendly! > From Christine, 5 out of 5 > Really enjoyed my first lesson! It all makes sense now; and now I’m hooked. Thanks Tom for your guidance and patience. Can’t wait until the next! > From Anya, 5 out of 5 ## Book - [Book on TeachMe.To](https://staging.teachme.to/listings/pickleball/pickleball-with-thomas-lanza): Pick a pack, a time, and a location, then pay. - [This coach in the agent API](https://staging-api.teachme.to/agent/v1/coaches/98021916-fcbc-4bd5-a9f1-557926e961b4): 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.
