Coach Leonard is a outstanding professor of the game. My son and I took lessons for close to 4 years at Gensta park in Encino. He was very patient and persistent in his efforts to improve both of us and all his students.We miss him much here in Encino.

Amazing coach and person. Many coaches have given me tennis lessons but I've only meet one that taught me how to play tennis. He made sure I knew tennis beyond technique.
My favorite thing about Coach is the fact that he genuinely cares about his students and turns their weaknesses into strengths. For example, my biggest weakness is my body language on the court. I show exactly how I'm feeling, good and bad. It's hard to forgot your problems when you're on the court but I learned that putting a smile on your face and walking confidently between points makes all the difference.
Anyways, I can not begin to describe my amazing experience with Coach. He has taught me so much about tennis along with giving me valuable life lessons along the way. He's is a person who has become very special to me and my family, always providing friendship and advice. Coach, thank you so much for everything you have done for me.
So if you're thinking about taking a lesson from Leonard Johnson, JUST DO IT.

Coach Leaonard has coached my daughter for approximately 5 years, throughout which time I have been highly impressed with his patience and the order in which he relates to the children. He has managed to maintain a level of professionalism and respect from the kids, while making it fun for them, which keeps their interest. He has mastered a no nonsense, stern approach without being a turnoff to the kids. Coach has also shared life lessons with my daughter without infringing on personal space, which would risk making her feel uncomfortable. This added personal touch makes Coach exceptional in my opinion.

Coach Leonard encouraged me to play tennis after my cancer battle and gave me private lessons as I slowly regained my strength. When he thought I could keep up with a class, he encouraged me to "upgrade" to classes. When he thought I could play on a team, he encouraged me to go for it! Coach Leonard was supportive and encouraging during a tough time and I'm very grateful for that. It takes one type of person to teach the basics, and another to teach with the know how of how to teach EACH person individually or in a group and the care of their individual goals. Coach Leonard is the latter... Thanks Coach Leonard! :)

I changed to Leonard when I realized by previous teacher always told me what I was doing wrong. Leonard always told me what I was doing right. When his positive comments were too much (YES, i said too much), he offered me a life lesson I will never forget. He is the best tennis teacher ever and I won a lovely trophy to boot. When my work schedule changed, I had to stop. :-(
