"The first day with Thomas clicked for us and we left with practical tips we can apply right away. We had never played pickleball before our lesson. Within an hour, Thomas had us serving and hitting, and also introduced the basics of keeping score. We know that we still have a lot to learn, which is why we are looking forward to the next lesson.

As a certified PPR (Professional Pickleball Registry) instructor, my speciality is training and developing beginners of all ages. I offer 1:1 private lessons and group sessions with a variety of lesson topics and themes. I can’t wait to share my energy and passion for Pickleball and get others as excited as I am through TeachMe! I’ve worked with people of all ages and backgrounds, whether they came from tennis, cricket, ping pong or have never played any sports a day in their life, I’ve worked with them all. One of the biggest things I’ve learned is that every person learns at their own pace and that patience and encouragement are the two keys for a successful and fun lesson. From teaching Intro to Pickleball or all types of skills clinics, I always make sure to tailor each session to what my clients want to get out of their coaching.

Fueled by a strong love of the game, I bring my college athletic experience and two years of playing to every lesson. I strive to make learning pickleball engaging, fostering both skill development and a genuine enjoyment for the sport. Let's improve your game! At 19 years old i’ve played tournaments and won local leagues at a 4.0 level and am currently working hard to improve past that myself. I’d love to help you or anyone else you know the skills and art of pickleball!
