FAQs
- What types of customers have you worked with?
I teach only private (1 student), semi-private (2 students), and small group (3-4 students) lessons. This allows for individualized instruction which is absent in large group lessons. The lessons are more enjoyable and productive because I can work at a pace that is comfortable for each individual. If a student needs more focused attention on a particular stroke or movement during the lesson, then we have the flexibility to spend more time in those areas. My teaching style involves breaking down the strokes in a way that makes them easy to understand and execute, while also clearly explaining the function of each step in the process. I incorporate the use of fun and innovative drills, games, and match play to strengthen skills.
- What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
When searching for a great teacher for yourself or your kids, consider both their experience as a teacher and a player. However, what is most important is the teacher's ability to effectively communicate and interact in a way that inspires you to strive to reach your goals. I would recommend seeking references before starting lessons, and not committing to more than one lesson at a time until you feel comfortable with the teacher's knowledge of the game and skills as both a tennis teacher and communicator. I have an extensive tennis teaching background and I am very comfortable teaching children, teens, and adults of all ages and skill levels, including those with special needs. I am personable, reliable, easy to contact, and on time for lessons.
