Lessons / Private lessons
One-on-one court time, shaped entirely around what you want out of the game — whether that is a first rally or a more reliable second serve.
What a session looks like
We hit for the first ten minutes so I can see where your game actually is — not where a form said it was.
I pick the two or three changes that will move the needle fastest, and we work the first one until it holds up under a rally.
The rest of the hour is live hitting, so the change gets used rather than just explained.
You leave knowing the one thing to practise before next time.
Who it's for
Complete beginners, players coming back after years away, juniors working toward a team spot, and club players who want a specific shot fixed. Roughly half of my private students had never held a racquet before their first session.
One coach, one player, full hour of attention.
Any — from first racquet to competitive junior.
Courts across Brentwood and West Los Angeles.
For the first few weeks, usually yes — you get every ball and every correction. Many beginners do two or three privates to build the basics, then move into a group to make it social and affordable.
Once a week is the sweet spot for most people. Twice a week if you are working toward something specific like a school team tryout.
Yes — positioning, poaching, serve placement and returning are all fair game in a private lesson.
