Lesson 2-3We’ll build consistency by improving your forehand and backhand, introducing serves, volleys, and movement around the court. You’ll begin rallying more often and develop the confidence to keep the ball in play.
Lesson 4-10We’ll refine your technique while introducing scoring, court positioning, and match strategy. Lessons become more game-based, helping you improve consistency, accuracy, and decision-making through drills and point play.
Lesson 11+Every lesson is tailored to your goals, whether that’s recreational play, improving fitness, preparing for leagues or matches, or simply becoming a more confident player. We’ll continue building your technique, strategy, and consistency while tracking your progress.

Lesson 2-3We’ll focus on refining stroke mechanics, improving shot selection, and building consistency under pressure. Expect high-intensity drills, movement training, and serve/return work tailored to your game.

Lesson 11+Each lesson is customized to help you reach your specific goals, whether it’s making the varsity lineup, improving your UTR/USTA results, preparing for tournaments, or becoming a stronger all-around player. We’ll continue refining technique, strategy, mental toughness, and match performance.
Youth players
Working with kidsWhen teaching kids, I adapt my lessons to be fun and engaging, using games and activities that make learning enjoyable. I focus on building a strong foundation in the basics while incorporating age-appropriate drills and exercises that keep their interest and energy levels high. Patience and encouragement are key, as I strive to create a positive and supportive environment where young players feel confident and excited to learn.
Working with teenagersWhen teaching teenagers, I adapt my lessons to balance skill development with the social and competitive aspects that appeal to this age group. l incorporate advanced drills and techniques while fostering a supportive and collaborative environment that encourages
teamwork and peer learning. By focusing on both physical fitness and strategic thinking, I help teens develop their skills and confidence, preparing them for competitive play and personal growth in the sport.
