Ace Tennis

I aim to help you learn quickly AND get a great workout at the same time. Our lessons will be fun, hard, and rewarding. Quickly, about me: I'm Sam! I've played tennis all my life at various levels of competition, and I'm starting to try and share my love for the game as a tennis instructor. I played singles on my high school varsity team for three years, and captained the team my senior year which won NJ state championships. I went on to play club tennis at Harvard. Teaching method: BALL MACHINE: I own a Slinger ball machine stocked full with tennis balls. You'll be able to get consistent and amazing feed consistency and more attentive coaching since I can watch your stroke closely and also take video to show you what's going well and where we can improve. A FRESH PERSPECTIVE: I'm trying to bring a fresh perspective to teaching, and reason from the ground up what makes a good lesson. For each stroke, I've worked to develop my own explanations and methods for developing the core goals of consistency and power. - Video: I'm experimenting with recording students' strokes and using these videos as a way of playing back what they're doing well and what they could improve upon. My first few students found these extremely helpful, so I'll continue to lean into this method if the student is interested. PRICING: - The first lesson is $25 - Beyond that, I charge ~$80/hr, and offer a discount per lesson if the student purchases 3+ lessons upfront.
