I began playing tennis at the age of 7 in Colombia, often rallying with adults in tournaments since events were based on level rather than age. This experience taught me to embrace the underdog role in my early years. Continuing a family tradition, I started teaching tennis to family members, specifically my son. I encouraged him to join the varsity team and taught him cardio tennis, agility, and footwork. Watching him continue his tennis journey has been incredibly satisfying. With an analytical background and a master's in instructional technology, I bring a unique perspective and a strong foundation for teaching others.
"The lesson was quite helpful, especially with the focus on improving serve consistency, which I’ve struggled with before. Diego’s suggestions were practical and relevant, and I still feel like I’m gaining more confidence on court, though I think a bit more emphasis on footwork could help me improve even further. If you’re interested in steady progress, it’s worth giving Diego a shot.

Hello! My name is Kate Noelcke, and I am a rising senior at the University of Dayton. I am offering to teach tennis lessons in the Dayton and Oakwood area starting at the end of August when I will be back on campus. I played four years of high school tennis, and have been a four-year member of the competitive travel team with the UD Club Tennis program. I also have three years of experience teaching tennis to children primarily ages 5-13 at the Cincinnati Tennis Foundation. I will be offering private lessons or group lessons for any interested junior or adult players at beginner or intermediate levels.
"Honestly, the lesson with Kate was quite good, especially since we covered some specific drills that really helped sharpen my strokes. Though I still need to get more consistent with my placement, I felt like I got some useful tips I can build on. Still, I think with more focus on footwork, my game could improve even more, so I plan to keep working with Kate.

"I loved how Derek quickly improved my kitchen game by helping me change my grip and develop a natural two-hand backhand. He also taught me how to block effectively between the kitchen line and back line. These adjustments have definitely raised my level of play. If you want to sharpen your skills, Derek’s lessons are worth trying! 😊🏓
