"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.

"I’d say the lesson with Emmanuel really hit the right note for me. The way he teaches makes complex movements quite clear, and that’s quite helpful. Though I still have some things to improve, I feel more confident in my groundstrokes now. If you're considering trying out a lesson, Emmanuel’s approach might be worth a shot.

I embarked on my tennis journey when I became my wife's hitting partner, gradually immersing myself in the game and honing my skills. As my love for tennis grew, I ventured into competitive play, discovering a true passion for the sport. Inspired by my progress, I began sharing my knowledge with friends, helping them improve their game. This led me to catch the attention of two esteemed teachers: one from the renowned Strawberry Group in Tiburon and another from the YTA Youth Tennis in Oakland. Since then, I have cherished every moment of my involvement in tennis, teaching others and continuously expanding my own expertise, all fueled by an unwavering love for the game.

"Awesome coach

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.

"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.
