"My daughter Rebecca was 8 when she joined the Eveleth Summer Tennis league that Lydia and her twin brother were coaches for! The way that they lead the lessons and invited fun into it made my daughter Rebecca come home and tell me how excited she was for the next day of lessons! We are sad she's not coaching the summer tennis programs anymore but happy for her next adventures!!

"Lara Jean, Denver, CO My daughter and I have worked with Ellen for over 10 years, and the experience has been truly transformative. From the start, she created a warm, supportive space where we could grow both technically and artistically. Ellen customizes each lesson to our goals.
