"Adriana eagerly took up a difficult task of teaching two 5-year olds the basics of tennis. She manages to keep them occupied and interested. We are yet to see the results as we started recently, but it is most important to me that the kids are motivated, disciplined in a good way and are learning basic skills. Adriana is flexible and pleasant to deal with.
