FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My pricing is competitive with local standards. I offer discounts for packages of 6 or more lessons. All lessons are 60 minutes.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
When we meet, we'll first share our backgrounds. I will briefly go over some ground rules about safety, asking questions (bring them on!), court nomenclature, and encourage students to relax and have fun. If they are beginners, I'll do some "A-B-C" (agility, balance coordination) exercises and start by choosing a stroke (generally forehand) to teach. If the student has some playing experience, I'll put them on the baseline, feed them balls and evaluate how they hit. Same for volley and serve. Together we'll decide where to focus our lesson.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I've been playing tennis since 1970 reaching 5.5 on the NTRP scale. I played #2 singles and #1 doubles for Division 1A Cal. State Long Beach, open tournaments, team player and coach. I'm a USPTA Certified Professional with 23 years of teaching experience.
