In 1994, I began my journey as a tennis coach with a USTA rating of 3.5, eager to share my love for the game with young beginners. Over the years, I honed my skills and passion, participating in club tournaments up to a 4.5 rating. 2009 I completed a PTR certification program, further enhancing my coaching abilities. Since then, I've taught thousands of enthusiastic players, from kindergarten to high school, in private after-school programs. While I also work with adults, my greatest joy comes from witnessing the improvement of my students, focusing on both the fun aspects of the game and the development of great skills.

I have known Jean Darcel for over 10 years. He is an amazing tennis coach both technically and personality wise. He is patient and always upbeat and positive. He improved my game more than I thought possible. His attitude is so positive and encouraging that it is fun and inspiring. I’ve recommended Jean Darcel to many other players who also love him. He will be an asset anywhere he goes and a pleasure to be around. I highly recommend and am grateful to have him as a coach and now friend.

Jean Darcel coached with me in a private school in New York for about twenty years. I worked with about twenty instructors over the years. Darcel was easily the most competent instructor I worked with. He was extremely punctual and easy to get along with. He is an outstanding player and fun to hit with. I would highly recommend him as a tennis coach and instructor.
