Learn Tennis with Paul

⭑5.0 (128)
💰$94 weekly lessons

If temps 50+ degrees, let’s get on court NOW! Take advantage of early spring weather in Chicago! With over four decades of experience on the tennis court, my journey as a player and coach has been defined by a relentless passion for the sport. From my early years as a competitor to my transition into coaching, tennis has remained my steadfast source of inspiration and vitality. As a seasoned player and coach, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to every lesson, guided by a nurturing, patient, and encouraging approach. My coaching philosophy centers on developing proper technique, instilling confidence, fostering discipline, honing strategic thinking, and nurturing a deep love for the game. Whether working with beginners taking their first steps on the court or seasoned athletes refining their skills, my goal is to help each student realize their full potential and achieve their tennis goals.

Paul is great! I’ve had only 5 lessons and I feel I’ve improved so much already. I like how he structures the lessons and we’re able to work on different skills. He’s great to work with and I highly recommend him.

Paul is very professional and gave me the best tips to learn tennis. I’m a beginner and I felt frustrated sometimes with my own performance but Paul always was pushing me and encouraging me to give my best at the lessons. It has helped me a lot to create self confidence, play better and also to have fun at the lessons. Thanks Paul!

Paul has been a great tennis trainer so far. He has taken the time to evaluate my technique and send it to me in written. Allows time for me to learn new techniques and fine tune them. He definitely has the patience required to teach a beginner. Appreciate his availability and punctuality. I recommend him 💯

Paul is great! We started training when we have zero experience and after 3 sessions with Paul, we can now rally with forehand and backhand. Paul is very patient, very experienced, and he always motivates us to improve. We are looking forward to our sessions every week

Paul is a great instructor. He paid attention to details and gave very timely feedback. The class was also organized very well. It was not too physically exhausting but promising in terms of progress. I’d strongly recommend it to any beginner.
