I recently picked up tennis but I wanted to address some specific issues I struggled with in my group class. I reached out to Todd for a private because I wanted to fix any bad habits early on. Todd was very enthusiastic and you can tell immediately that he loves tennis as much as he enjoys coaching. Todd is great at meeting you wherever you're at in your tennis journey. What stood out for me from working with Todd is that he knows how to incrementally add more tips and tricks when he knows you're ready for it. With everything he taught me, I was able to test out and apply what felt most natural and effective for my style of playing. My session with Todd taught me so much in a short amount of time and he even offered to send me a list of notes of everything we went through as a reference as I returned to NY to continue playing on my own.

I was recently hired to coach tennis at a top LA country club, and I wanted to brush up on my skills before my job started. From the start, Coach Todd was very proactive about ensuring that we set up a lesson promptly, and was also accommodating in terms of location, times, and last-minute requests. In under two hours, I left my lesson feeling confident and prepared in both my own tennis abilities, as well as coaching abilities. Coach Todd has been playing tennis for 40 years and it shows. He has tons of simple yet effective strategies to transform your game that you can easily remember tomorrow. Very respectful, kind, and great sportsmanship, too!

I am thrilled to say that my time spent with Todd has been nothing short of amazing. He is hands down the best tennis coach I've ever had or will ever have. Todd is not only an excellent coach but also a wonderful, fun, genuine, and caring person. I've had different coaches on and off for the past three years, but Todd's 40 years of experience make him truly exceptional at pinpointing my issues and providing solutions that always work like magic. Our lessons are always exciting and fulfilling. I always leave the tennis court feeling like I've had major breakthroughs. We started with one lesson per week, but now we have four lessons per week because we both enjoy the breakthroughs so much. Todd is truly obsessed with everything tennis, and if you're an avid tennis player like me, he will go above and beyond for you. He's driven out to meet me and hit while I was busy with work, let me use his racket, and even lent me his tennis gear just for me to practice. Because of my amazing experience with Todd, I have recommended him to a couple of my friends who have also become avid tennis players. He's that good! Todd's passion for tennis is contagious, and his skills are unmatched. Learning tennis with Todd has been the highlight of my time in LA, and I'm grateful to have made a great friend along the way. If you're looking for an exceptional coach who will not only teach you tennis but also inspire and care for you, look no further than Todd. I highly recommend him!

Todd has been an amazing coach and he is great at customizing lessons to your skill level and goals. I used to play tennis as a kid, but took a 10 year long break. Todd took that into consideration and set the pace of our lessons appropriately. I also appreciate his positive approach for teaching. Most importantly, I had a lot of fun and am excited to get back into this sport thanks to Todd!
