Hello, I'm John Philip, originally from The Caribbean. I hold a master's degree in accounting from college. For over 35 years, I've dedicated myself to teaching tennis professionally, earning certification as a USPTR Professional 1. My experience spans across all age groups, where I've fostered a passion for tennis and skill development in countless students.
"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.

Currently a private tennis instructor in the Main Line of Philadelphia, I understand the importance of creating engaging lessons/drills that keep new and experienced players motivated. I aim to develop proper technique, coordination, and sportsmanship in a safe and supporting way. I was captain of my HS team, playing Varsity singles and doubles for Harriton and participating in State and District championships each year.
