"His positive attitude really stood out in the lesson, and I appreciated how approachable he was. Though better serves and backhand technique could improve my game, I left feeling more confident. Still, I think with focused practice, especially on those areas, I’ll see even more progress. If you want a laid-back, encouraging lesson, Rich might be worth trying.

"Spencer's lesson was pretty good, actually. He focused on improving my shot placement and strategy, which I appreciate. Though I still need to work on consistency, I think there's real value in how he breaks down techniques without rushing. Definitely worth trying if you're keen to refine specific skills.

"Juan helped listed a few exercises that we could keep practice during our own time at home, and taught us tips for top spins both forehand and back hand. We had a few rounds of drills to enhance the skills. We felt a solid improvement after the classes with Juan. He has good plans for the content, clear instructions specific to our own drawbacks, and also professional skills. We really enjoyed the class.
