Hey, I'm Coach Jeff. I was a Division I tennis player on an athletic scholarship at Saint Peter’s University (SPU), where I also served as team captain my senior year. Following that, I became the assistant coach at SPU and NJCU. Currently, I run an indoor tennis program at SPU, offering adult cardio tennis and kids' group lessons. I work with players of all ages and skill levels, but my specialty is helping dedicated athletes elevate their game through personalized training programs.

I am incredibly pleased with the progress my daughter has made under Coach Jeff Lam's guidance. From the very first lesson, it was clear that he has a deep understanding of the game and a passion for teaching. Coach Jeff has a remarkable ability to connect with young players, making the lessons both fun and challenging. My daughter always looks forward to her sessions and comes home excited to practice what she's learned. He not only focuses on developing technical skills but also emphasizes the importance of strategy, mental toughness, and sportsmanship. One thing that stands out about Coach Jeff is his personalized approach. He quickly identified my daughter’s strengths and areas for improvement, tailoring drills and exercises to meet her specific needs. This has significantly boosted her confidence on the court. I also appreciate how Coach Jeff fosters a positive and encouraging environment. He pushes my daughter to do her best but always in a way that is supportive and motivating. This balance has helped her develop a love for the game, and we’ve seen her skills improve dramatically over the past few months. Overall, I highly recommend Coach Jeff to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, patient, and inspiring tennis coach. We feel fortunate to have found someone who truly cares about my daughter’s development as both a player and an individual.

Jeff is an amazing person and a tennis coach. We are very lucky to have found him to coach our daughter who has improved tremendously under his tutelage. My daughter thoroughly enjoys each and every tennis lesson, where Jeff gives tips on techniques and strategies. Jeff is very disciplined and has a great way of teaching his students. He not only is a great coach but, he also creates a comfortable environment on the court for his students. His positive reinforcement and passion for the game makes his students to push themselves to do better. My daughter also made the Varsity team this year for her school. Thanks to Coach Jeff's instruction skills. I would highly recommend Jeff as a coach!!

Jeff is the most patient, kind, detail-oriented, teen-friendly positive sports instructor we have ever used for our kids. He was able to expertly get our kids enthusiastic about playing tennis, to play a better game and work harder at it (our teenager got up at 7 am to ride the city bus by himself on a Saturday to a neighboring city just to have a lesson with Jeff!), while being extremely communicative, flexible and fair with the parents. Jeff is amazing tennis player himself but being a good coach and instructor is another level of fantastic and Jeff is simply the best!

In middle school, I was lucky enough to find Jeff to coach me. He was genuinely dedicated to my growth as a player and went the extra mile to help me improve. Each lesson with him had a purpose: whether it was forehands, backhands, serves, or volleys, he would always video record my stroke and point out specific weaknesses to improve on. Additionally, he taught me many different drills that I still use to this day. In conclusion, if you are looking for a tennis coach who is organized, passionate, and highly invested in your development, I highly recommend him.
