About
Years of hard work studying how to teach tennis most effectively so that students easily obtain high level results quickly without cutting corners... Have honed a series of easy progressive games that build your muscle memory for a state of the art game. And they are fun. Natural movement and racket head accelerations is emphasized. Many instructors use older methods that actually inhibit learning state of the art strokes. Some end game, jump over necessary developmental steps in effect end gaming creating less successful results. I emphasis interactively rallying many balls in a row instead of feeding balls. You learn better that way. Always looking to improve, I strive for excellence. A special skill I bring, that underlies all my lessons is a mastery of Tai Chi whose ideas I bring to tennis. The ancient Chinese knew much ! Slowly the worlds top tennis players are learning it too. Trained as an artist and have a very good diagnostic eye. I love the many wonderful people I get to meet teaching tennis ! Thank you !

Steve is fantastic to work with! He’s professional, responsive, and very accommodating with our busy schedule. He’s currently coaching both of my kids (ages 11 and 9), and does a great job tailoring the lessons to their level as young beginners. They enjoy every session and always come home excited, asking when they get to go back again. Highly recommend Steve for anyone looking for quality tennis instruction!

Steve is incredibly kind but I would never pay someone at his level to teach lessons, unless I was a beginner who had never held a racket. I asked him for tips and he didn’t have much to offer. He also struggled to keep up with our lesson. I won several points on him when we rallied. He didn’t challenge me at all. As kind as he was, he’s not the right fit for me and could not add value to my game. I’d restrict his activities to pure beginners.

Steve is amazing! He is knowledgeable, professional, and fun to be around! Most importantly, he got me hitting in the first week of lessons. I am super happy and would recommend him to anyone trying to learn or trying to get better!

Steve is a great coach. My game has improved tremendously since I started taking lessons with him. He is a good motivator and is very accessible.

Uses all sorts of tools and techniques and does a great job teaching the fundamentals of good strokes, which can be hard to teach really young kids. Very good at keeping the lesson and kids moving, great with young kids. Very accomodating. We'll be working with him throughout the summer.
