The lesson was quite helpful in clarifying some basic forehand techniques, though I still need to work on consistency. Jay-ar's approach is steady, and I appreciate the focus on proper grip and footwork, which makes a difference. Looking forward to seeing how I improve with more practice. Still, I think a bit more emphasis on rally drills could be beneficial next time. If you're into tennis and want to really improve fundamentals, giving Jay-ar a try might be worth considering.

Starting with the absolute basics, I think Jay-ar's lesson was quite effective, especially since he emphasized building a solid foundation. Though I still need to work on my overall consistency, I appreciated how calm and focused he was throughout. I hope future lessons will help me strengthen those fundamentals further, definitely worth trying if you're aiming for steady improvement.

This coach is the real deal—well-trained from a young age, he provides high-quality tennis instruction. His classes are structured with proper warm-ups and targeted exercises, and he tailors his coaching to your needs. Patient and equipped with a variety of tools, he ensures you truly improve. Get him while he’s still affordable—I have a feeling that he’ll soon out-priced my budget 😭

Our first lesson with Jay-ar was very comprehensive and efficient. The pace kept us engaged while covering a lot of ground, making it easy to follow and apply the lessons on the spot. It was a 2-people lesson with different skill level, but Jay-ar kept it relevant and effective for both players. Looking forward to out next lesson! 🎾

He is great, he makes sure you have a strong foundation before you go into hitting the ball. I think anyone who never played before should take him, because he is patient and very knowledgeable. I really appreciate how helpful he was even in my first lesson.

Nice pace on this lesson, the core training and strategy really clicked, and I felt sharper after each drill, wow. Still, I’ll keep working on posture and the serve, while I’m energized to push ahead. I’m hopeful for steady gains as I apply Jay-ar’s approach.
