I picked up tennis as a middle schooler, played as a high schooler and enjoyed it competitively into both college (recreational) and during active duty. I continue to play, learn and tutor my children. I also had the honor of coaching elementary and middle school children as a Senior in high school. My desire to coach is in inspiring the next generation in this wonderful sport. Elaborating; my more competitive years were from 1994-1997 where I would compete across the state of Oklahoma in numerous USTA tournaments. Additionally, our high school hosted and participated in weekly matches and tournaments during the fall and spring school semesters. On a personal level, I am a Christian, husband, father, and hobbies are numerous because I’m an adventurous guy (tennis, golf, fishing, snorkeling, scuba diving, mountain and trail hiking, Astronomy). Professionally, I completed my Master’s Degree in 2016 & recently my PMP Certification (Project Management Professional). Security+ (CE) certified. Additionally, I coached Jr. Flag football (6 seasons), Jr. Volleyball (1 season) & Little League Baseball (2 seasons). My MinistrySafe Background Church sponsored by First Baptist Church of Georgetown (TX) was renewed as of July 2025 which included specific training in Sexual Assault Prevention and Reporting. TMT has a copy of the previous background annual check. During the week of 21-25 July 2025, I volunteered and served as the Small Group Leader for one of the 4th & 5th grades boys and girls (16 children; 2 supporting volunteers). 2025 RECAP: 30 Different Students 173 Lessons of Varying Player Levels Age Groups included: -Young children -Teenagers -Adults
"Jimmy's lesson was very engaging and focused on the basics my daughter needs. After watching their session, I feel that my daughter is more aware of how to move better on the court. The lesson had a good balance of tips and drills, which was quite helpful to her. He also asked if she had any questions before moving on. My daughter had an amazing time at her first lesson.

"This was a private lesson for me and my girlfriend. We’ve been wanting to learn the basics and fundamentals and I saw the teachme app ad somewhere. After going through different coaches and reviews I stumbled on Patrick. I’m glad we choose Patrick because he was exactly was his reviews said. My and my girlfriend were nervous at first and also having to be instructed in front of a bunch of other golfers felt nerve racking, but Patrick made it super easy. Super patient. He provided clubs and the steps he took with the explanation through every movement was great. He started by explaining to my girlfriend how golf is played and the terminologies. We booked 3 sessions with him and can’t wait for the next.

Why take tennis lessons in Austin?
Central Texas weather supports outdoor tennis roughly 300 days a year, which lets Austin students hold a consistent weekly cadence outside the hottest weeks of July and August. Most Austin tennis coaches teach on hard courts at public parks and school venues (Westenfield Neighborhood Park, Crockett High School, Joslin Park, Anderson High School - Mesa Dr, Kealing Junior High, Onion Creek Metropolitan Park), with indoor backup available at private clubs when summer heat or spring storms hit. Several active coaches carry serious tennis backgrounds - a Certified Tennis Professional with 40+ years on court (460 reviews on TeachMe.To), a former college player and 5.0-level competitor, a long-time tournament player with a Texas sectional Men's Open title and 6.0 NTRP rating, and a decade-experienced tennis instructor. That mix means an Austin student can match a coach to a goal: USTA league prep, junior development, varsity team prep, or first-time adult fundamentals. Hard court is the default surface here; clay is rare and limited to a few private clubs.
Lesson formats in Austin
| Format | Participants | Price | Best for |

Adult beginners
Patient instructors with strong first-lesson reviews and entry-level pricing for brand-new players. Plan 4-6 weekly 60-minute sessions to lock grip, stance, forehand, backhand, and a serve toss before adding rally-based drills.
What to look for: Listings with reviews from adult-beginner students mentioning patience and clear explanation; pricing in the $80-$110 range; coaches teaching at lower-traffic public courts (Westenfield, Joslin, Kealing) that are comfortable for first-time players.

Try Brian S.High-volume teaching experience
