Bright start with Emma as she explains clearly and maps out the lesson step by step, with room for more technique and practice to build confidence, then a brief, hopeful note to keep improving.

Emma is quite knowledgeable and patient, making the lesson pretty effective. Though I still want to improve my skills, her teaching really helps clarify some tricky pickleball techniques. Still, I look forward to working on those details in future lessons.

Emma’s fun, kind personality made learning pickleball a blast. Her instructions about technique and strategy were clear and easy to understand. She was 100% encouraging—much appreciated as a pickleball newbie! I definitely made progress thanks to her coaching.

Emma helped me see multiple layers of the onion (of pickleball) if you will. She helped me to understand what my goal is with each shot and placement on the court. The drills that she did with me were so helpful because we just repeated them until she felt like I was more consistent, and the repetition was so helpful.
She also was great at giving examples and analogies that helped me visualize things better. She did it in a way that did not feel overwhelming, but progressive. I'm very grateful for her help and instruction.

Youth players
Working with kidsI have 10+ years of professional experience in multiple settings working with kids ages 5-12. My approach working with kids is to have lots of encouragement, positive feedback, and to keep it fun! I find that kids do well with group lessons, so have them bring a friend, and let’s have some fun! **If you bring a group of 4, I can offer coached game play to give real time feedback in a game setting.
Working with teenagersI love working with teens as they are exploring and growing into their interests and hobbies. I aim to build their confidence and skillset through encouragement and constructive feedback. I find that group lessons can add a fun social component and relieve some pressure to perform for the coach. Whether one on one, or with friends— I’d love to help your teen take their pickleball skills to the next level! **If you bring a group of 4, I can offer coached game play to give real time feedback in a game setting.
What you need to bringIt’s best to bring your own paddle—that way you can get use to the weight and response of your own paddle and improve your consistency.
What I can bringI have balls and a paddle if you need one!
