Great lesson with Megan. Personable, easy to understand, broke everything down into simple steps, and answered my questions. Assessed my Beginner level quickly and knew how to accent anything I already knew how to do and move on. I had a ton of questions, which she happily answered. Good at assessing my fitness level and watching me- set water breaks (so important) and did check in’s because my breathing was a bit labored. I’m not in great shape yet, and Megan was really good about watching me and asking if I needed a breather. Easy to schedule. It was a FULL hour. I say this because I have taken private lessons in other sports and many give 50 minutes and less concentrated. I’m so excited that I found Megan! I scheduled more lessons!

The lesson had a good focus on drill work, especially on the third ball and kitchen line battles, which I think is pretty helpful for sharpening specific skills. Though, I’m curious to see how well I can transfer these practices into actual game situations , still, Gustavo’s approach seems to keep things practical. There's a definite emphasis on improving through targeted drills, which is useful, and I’m hopeful I can build on this in future lessons by simulating real gameplay more. If you're into detailed, strategic practice, you might want to give Gustavo a try.

Honestly, this lesson helped me focus on strengthening the area we targeted, which was quite helpful. Though I still have room for continued progress, I feel more confident about my game now and appreciate Gustavo's measured approach to teaching. Still, I look forward to building on what we covered and hopefully improving even more in the future. If you're considering a lesson with Gustavo, it’s worth trying out to see that focused attention firsthand.

I think Gustavo's lesson was quite helpful, especially since we concentrated on improving my forehand, backhand, and my serve and return of serve. Still, I believe I’ll benefit from more focused practice to keep progressing. Anyway, I appreciated the clear guidance and the way he pointed out specific things to work on , a pretty good experience overall. Though, I hope my next lesson with Gustavo will help me see continued improvement in my game.

Oh, I suppose I should mention, Gustavo's lesson was quite focused on practicing my serve, which was actually pretty helpful. The tone was steady, and I think I’ll be able to build on that. Still, I’d like to see more variety in the drill approaches, though I’m optimistic about seeing how my serve improves over time. If you’re looking to tighten up specific techniques like serves, Gustavo might be worth trying out.

I'm pretty satisfied with how the lesson went, especially after reviewing those three strokes I was struggling with. Still, I think there's room to get even better, but I feel more confident now. Gustavo's focus on specific techniques really helped me notice my progress, quite helpful. Though my lessons are wrapped up for now, I wouldn't hesitate to reach out again if I need some extra guidance.

Gustavo’s lesson was quite good. He’s friendly and really meets you where you’re at, which I appreciated. He keeps things manageable and doesn’t overload you. I like that he’s positive and approachable, and I think building on what we did next time could take my game to the next level. Still, I’ll definitely try more lessons with him to keep improving my control and shot awareness.
