Awesome instructor!! I came in with no experience and he talked me through every step and is incredibly knowledgeable on the sport. Patient, enthusiastic, and can explain everything in different ways until you understand. I’m very excited to continue my lessons with John!

My coach is just excellent. Learning the game has become so much easier with John. My level of confidence has risen since we started working together. He's the greatest thing that has happened to my tennis career. I love every minute of it! With John, there are great things to come, and I'm looking forward to the best in the coming months.
