"The lesson was quite good, especially getting a chance to work on my serve and game play. Though I’d like to see more of the same focus, it felt quite practical and helpful overall. Paul’s approach feels measured and straightforward, which is just right for where I’m at. If you’re looking to improve specific aspects like serving or gameplay, I’d say give him a try.

"I’d say the lesson with Mayra was quite helpful. She explained the fundamental rules pretty clearly and offered good feedback on my serve, though I still need to work on my positioning. Still, I appreciated her focus on basic strategies, which made me more confident about playing with others. If you're looking to get started or brush up on the fundamentals, you might want to give Mayra a try.
