I really appreciated how great the lesson with John was. The session felt engaging and well-paced, making it easy to stay focused and enjoy the practice. If you're looking to improve your game in a positive environment, I recommend giving his lessons a try. They bring good energy and effective coaching to the court. 🎾

The lesson with John was quite helpful, especially in working on my serve and return. Though I still need to work on consistency, I appreciated how he explained some of the court positioning, which made a noticeable difference. Still, I’m hoping the next lesson can focus a bit more on footwork to improve that aspect. If you're looking for someone who’s attentive and makes effort to clarify technique, you might find John worth trying.

Just finished the lesson and felt steady progress, especially after that first burst of improvement on the 0-1 drill. Wow, I’m pumped to tighten the backhand next.

Nice start today, the lesson kept things clear and attentive, and I appreciated the focus on explanations over endless drills. My daughter loved how you explained everything and did drills with her. There’s room for more practice, so I’m keen to build on this momentum next time. If you’re up for it, I’d be glad to continue.
