"Richard's first lesson was quite thorough, and I appreciated how he balanced covering all the rules with actually playing the ball around, which kept things engaging. Though, I think with a bit more movement and smoother hits, it could become even more effective. Still, it was a good experience and I’d consider trying Richard again for his knowledge and enthusiasm.

"The lesson with Daryl focused quite a bit on shooting drills, which really helped me refine my technique. Though reviewing what I’m working on can sometimes feel repetitive, I still appreciated the emphasis on solid fundamentals. Still, I think going over progress more frequently might make the lessons even more effective. But yeah, I’d say try Daryl if you want structured training that pays attention to detail.

"Is you are looking for a tennis coach in NY/NJ, I wholeheartedly recommend Mukesh!

Hey fellow tennis enthusiasts! I started my journey with a wooden racquet from a garage sale, facing giggles and doubts at age 8. But I learned that tennis is for everyone - no matter your age, skill, or gear. Years have flown by, and now I'm the proud founder of Astoria Tennis, NYC's largest public tennis community. I believe in creating an inclusive space where we all can learn, play, and revel in the joy of tennis. Let's embrace the game together, and remember, it's never about the racquet, but the heart that wields it!

"Danny is a great coach. Highly recommended!

I’ve spent years teaching golf to everyone from elementary-school beginners to seasoned bogey golfers in their 60s. One thing I’ve learned is that progress comes from repetition—not from long, complicated lessons or high-tech gadgets. In fact, two short 30-minute lessons are far more effective than one long session, because most students don’t have the time to practice enough to absorb everything at once. And while cameras and swing-analysis apps can look impressive, they rarely help unless a student specifically wants them and knows how to use the information. My teaching philosophy is simple: start from the true basics, see students frequently, and let them practice correctly right in front of me. The fundamentals done well—grip, stance, setup, and simple movement patterns—create real, lasting improvement. I also try to keep golf affordable. Students shouldn’t pay for things they don’t need. That’s why I keep my rates low and let students choose their own learning environment—from their living room to a premium simulator studio, depending on their budget. You bring the space; I bring the lesson. If you want straightforward instruction, honest feedback, and steady improvement without the unnecessary extras, I’m here to help.

"That lesson with Frank was quite helpful. I especially appreciated the way he explained some key strategies, and the lesson highlighted how important the fundamentals are. Still, I think adding more drills and rallys could really make a difference in building consistency. Yeah, Frank's approach feels practical, and I’m hopeful that with a bit more focus on rallying, I’ll see further progress. If you're looking for someone who knows their way around tennis lessons, you might want to give Frank a try.

"Honestly, Ali’s lesson was quite helpful, especially with how he emphasized positioning during volleys. It’s still early days, but I think with a bit more focus I could really sharpen my shot placement. Still, I’d say the approach was practical without overloading me, and I might try another lesson to see how I progress.
