Most people who call me haven't played in years, or have never played at all. That's the part of the job I enjoy most — the session where somebody who was sure they'd be hopeless hits twelve in a row and starts grinning.
I teach in Brentwood, Los Angeles, and I've built the whole week around ordinary players: kids with their first racquet, parents who want a Saturday game, juniors trying to make a school team, adults who want an hour that feels like exercise and doesn't feel like a lecture.
I coach as part of Tennis Lessons Los Angeles — a team of ex-tennis professionals, college players, ATP and WTA competitors and national champions, with more than a decade of coaching across the city and 800+ students between us. That depth means that if your game outgrows what a friendly Brentwood hour can give you, there's always a next step available.
My coaching is deliberately uncrowded. One thing to work on at a time. A clear reason why. Then enough live hitting that the change actually sticks before you go home. I'd rather you leave with one solid improvement than five things you half-remember.
Off the court I'm easy to reach — a text usually gets an answer the same day, and I'll always tell you honestly whether a private lesson, a group or cardio tennis is the right place for you to start.
If you've been meaning to get back on court for a while: this is your sign. Text me.
