About
I’m a competitive tennis player and experienced coach with a strong background in high-level competition, including playing NCAA Division I tennis for the University of Texas at El Paso, where I competed in the top singles and doubles positions. I coach players of all levels, from beginners to advanced juniors and adults. My lessons are personalized to each player’s goals, learning style, and experience level, making every session challenging, productive, and enjoyable. Whether you want to improve your technique, footwork, consistency, match strategy, or overall confidence on court, I’ll help you build a stronger and more complete game. In addition to tennis, I’m also a certified PPR Recreational Pickleball Coach, having completed the PTR/PPR Recreational Coach Program on January 19, 2026. I offer pickleball lessons for players who want to learn the basics, improve their skills, or become more competitive. I’m bilingual in English and Spanish, and I offer flexible scheduling to accommodate busy lifestyles. I currently coach privately at Coronado Country Club in El Paso, TX, and can also travel to your preferred courts or provide access to private courts when needed. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to take your game to the next level, I’d love to help you improve, gain confidence, and enjoy your time on court. Reach out and let’s schedule your first lesson!

Vanessa is professional, on-time and tailors each lesson to your needs. She will note every detail such as your grip, your stance and timing. Those details matter a lot, and she will correct them for you. You will feel a difference right away either with your accuracy or the amount of effort you have to swing. Vanessa loves the game and it comes across in her coaching. I found her by word of mouth and happy to train with her. I’m a 3.5 player and we train once a week.

I've been taking lesson with Vanessa for more than a year. She's very professional, good communicating and punctual. As a 4.5 player she helps me a lot withl technical skills and drills adapted to my age and goals. Her patience and praise are keeping me motivated. I recommend Vanessa for any age group!

I’ve been training with Vanessa along with my two kids, and I couldn’t be happier. She is an excellent tennis coach,professional, dedicated, knowledgeable, and incredibly patient. She knows how to adapt the lessons to each of our levels and makes every session fun and productive. It’s been amazing to see the progress in both my children and myself. I highly recommend her to anyone kids or adults who wants to learn or improve their game. She’s simply the best!

My son has been taking lessons with Vanessa a little over 6 months and had very little exposure to tennis before that. During this time he has grown tremendously. He joined the tennis team at his high school, played his first tournament and wants to continue playing long term. This is the first sport he has played consistently and I believe Vanessa has a lot to do with that. She is patient and truly cares about his growth in the sport while at the same time pushing him and making him uncomfortable for continued growth. I recently met Vanessa’s Dad who was her coach growing up and I can see that the apple didn’t fall far from the tree. Tennis and teaching are part of this family and with that comes with a ton of experience, knowledge and ways to adjust the learning as necessary for the student. She is now incorporating drills with a ball machine we got my son. Her prices are fair and is very flexible. She drives far to teach my son and has made it work. We are very happy we found her!
