About Michael

My pickleball journey started two years ago, and I quickly fell in love with the sport. Now a certified instructor, I'm excited to share my knowledge and enthusiasm with others, whether you're a beginner or looking to take your game to the next level.

What students say...

"Mike started by assessing my abilities through warm ups and drills, then focuses lessons based on my abilities. He's great at not only analyzing strengths and weaknesses, but providing feedback in a constructive manner. He's patient and knowledgeable, and after only one lesson, I learned enough skills and rules to play a game! The drills he takes me through resemble game play. I endorse Mike for any level player looking to learn and improve!

About Karamat

Expert Squash & Pickleball Instruction ​With over 16 years of experience in professional squash and 4 years as a certified pickleball instructor, I provide high-performance training tailored to every level of play.

What students say...

"I have been working with the FXW School for the past two years to introduce and develop pickleball for their junior players. We consistently see a fantastic turnout, with up to 20 kids participating per session. While the students generally start as beginners, many are incredibly fast learners. We focus on blending skill-building with fun games, and after just a few sessions each term, the players successfully transition into competitive match play. It continues to be a highly successful program, and I look forward to getting them back on the court for the next session.

The lesson was pretty good, especially since we revisited some basics I’d already worked on and got clear answers to my questions. Though I still need to work on consistency, reinforcing previous concepts definitely added to my confidence. If you’re looking for someone who can help you strengthen your game without overdoing it, Jonathan might be worth a shot.

Oh, I guess I’ll give this lesson with Jonathan a pretty good mark. I shared what I wanted to work on, and he gave me straightforward advice and practical feedback, which really helped. Still, I think I need a few more lessons to feel completely confident, though, so I’ll probably try to keep improving with him.

The lesson covered some great topics like accelerated dink work and transition zone volleys, which were quite helpful. Jonathan's approach is pretty steady, and I’d say if you're looking for practical advice, it's worth trying his lesson.

Oh, the drive blocking work was quite helpful, and I feel like my control improved a lot. Jonathan’s lesson was both focused and practical, and I’d say it’s worth trying if you want to refine those aspects of your game.
