After working with Coach John for a few sessions, I can tell he is a greatly experienced tennis coach. He is excellent in observing my strokes and suggesting tweaks and adjustments on my grip, swing, arm extension and foot work to improve my overall tennis skills. He is a great communicator too, always looking for my feedbacks on the tips he gives. He is also very excited about tennis matches, has great knowledge on modern tennis techniques and tries to incorporate them into his students' playing. I think he is a good coach for all level tennis players and has better teaching ability than a professor like me ;)

Coach John educated me on REAL tennis technique. He is helping me break all my bad habits and is so observant when it comes to corrections. Coach John is the real deal - not just someone to casually rally with, he is here to massively improve your skill level. After my first lesson, I can't stop telling everyone how amazing and overqualified Coach John is. He puts a lot of effort into maximizing the lesson he has with you. To top it off, he is motivating, intelligent, and so super kind. Very professional. I seriously cannot recommend Coach John enough.

John is an awesome coach. He is professional and has lots of teaching experiences. John was able to correct my bad movements on the first lesson. Now I'm having more confidence with my strokes. Tennis is hard to learn from watching YouTube videos or practicing alone. Some coach has to be there for teaching the correct moves and habits. John is definitely the coach that can help with my game. I look forward to have more lessons with John for more improvements.

I started lessons with John as an adult beginner. Having zero experience playing tennis I was a little nervous but John is such a great coach and has a lot of patience. He’s a pro and is very knowledgeable making him a good instructor for players of all ages and levels. He’s really good at explaining the technicalities of the sport and a great teacher. He’s also just a friendly guy and his positive vibes makes it fun. I’ve had 3 sessions and I’ve already learned and improved so much. I’m looking forward to growing in this sport and glad I found John to be my coach.
