What students say...

"The lesson helped clarify quite a few technical details about backhand and serve but still feels like room for improvement, especially around the mechanics of the backhand and serve. Still, I appreciate Andre's clear explanations and the focus on specifics, which makes me hopeful about refining those parts of my game. If you're looking for someone who takes the time to break down the technical side thoughtfully, Andre's worth considering.

What students say...

"Gustavo's lesson was quite helpful overall, especially since I noticed some improvements in my technique. Although I still need to work on my backhand, I feel more confident about the fundamentals now. Still, I think with a bit more focus on specific strokes, I could see even better results. If you're into a steady, thoughtful approach, Gustavo might be worth considering.

About Ryan

Hi! 👋🎾 Please read my entire profile. I’m currently a tennis instructor at two prominent Bay Area tennis organizations, coaching both adults and kids aged 5 to 15. Beginner Intermediate Advanced I focus on the foundations of tennis—footwork, contact points, and fundamentals—to help beginners and intermediates improve their game! 😀👍 I’m happy to do lessons once a week but if you wish to see any substantial growth in your tennis game, you may wish to meet twice or three times a week **While happy to coach until 2pm, I strongly prefer early morning lessons anytime after 6:30am. We can guarantee that courts will be open, you will not pay extra for reservations ✅ I am happy to travel to courts near you, but I am one minute from the courts in Mountain View at Whisman Park.

What students say...

"The lesson went well, really, focusing on one section at a time meant Emily wasn't overwhelmed, which was quite helpful for her first time back on the court. Though I hope her forehand starts resembling her previous shape soon, I appreciated how the approach was measured and clear. Still, I think with a bit more attention there, her technique could really improve. Ryan's way of breaking things down makes a difference, if you're thinking about trying him out, I’d say he's worth considering to see how steady guidance can support your game.

"That lesson sparked clear momentum, and I appreciate the focus on fundamentals, Sydney’s learning a lot, and I felt steady improvement. A few more basics would help, yet I’m looking forward to building on this strong start, and I’ll keep practicing as we tighten the basics.

I usually consider 3+ levels as advanced. At this level I rally with the student to understand what there tennis level falls between 3 to 4+ skill levels. At this level, there are unique forms of users. I will evaluate the students form and try to optimize that form (for example some students are best with one handed backhand while others are better with 2 handed backhand and some students turn their bodies while hitting while others prefer to keep a more open body position. Whatever your natural form is, I try to improve that with improved fitness and practice.
