My teaching philosophy is to make tennis fun and accessible, to individually tailor each experience so every client wants to keep coming back. You will never get a hard sell from me. I believe a good coach finds attainable goals with their students and provides what they need in order to reach them. As a junior, I benefited from coaches whose influence still impacts me today, and I hope to be able to provide that for my students. I held a top 100 national junior ranking.
Due to injury, I didn’t pick up a racket for 10 years. When I did, I remembered how much I loved the sport and I’ve found teaching it more fulfilling than playing it. What has surprised me the most though is how much of a sense of community people have found through tennis, I didn’t expect to see that but it’s really become the best part of my job. I’ve worked with every level of tennis player, from the nationally ranked junior to countless numbers of people picking up a racket for the first time. Both are equally rewarding when I can see the I have for tennis start to appear in a student’s eye.
