I’m a 3.8 DUPR player, and what makes me a great coach is that I keep it fun 🤩! If you’re not having fun, you won’t want to play. With me, lessons are fun, safe, and focused on helping you grow—both on and maybe even off the court.

"If you are looking for a pickleball coach who is professional, kind, patient and with strong pickleball skills, you don’t need to look any further. I highly recommend Dennis from TeachMe. Before working with Coach Dennis, my kitchen dinking skill and groundstrokes were poor and inconsistent. I struggled with understanding court strategy. Thanks Dennis’s guidances and specific drills, I've improved my forehand and backhand techniques especially in the kitchen zone. I feel much more confident in game situations. I really appreciated Dennis ‘s patient teaching style and ability to break down complex strategies into simple, actionable steps. Dennis was always prepared and made every session fun and engaging. I highly recommend Dennis to any beginner to intermediate plus level players who is looking to elevate their skills and game! Chloe

"This lesson was helpful, especially since Jessica took the time to simplify topspin movements which I’d been struggling with. She was very patient as I learned to use it more effectively. I still need work to become more consistent with my shots but I definitely feel more confident about hitting topspin at different areas on the court.
