I just have to say how awesome my tennis coach is! From day one, it was clear that he really cares about helping each student improve. He’s super patient and takes the time to figure out what works best for everyone, adjusting his strategies based on our needs. What I love most is his feedback—it’s always constructive but delivered in such a positive way. He keeps the energy up during our sessions, and it’s impossible not to have fun while learning. I always walk away feeling pumped and ready to hit the court again. If you’re looking for a coach who makes tennis enjoyable and helps you grow, I can’t recommend him enough. His passion and support make all the difference!

Really liked the lesson, actually. Richard is quite a good profesor, everything seemed to come together smoothly, and I felt like I learned a lot. The highlight was definitely his clear explanations, though I hope he keeps sharing more tips. Still, I'd say there's potential for improvement in some areas. If Richard could focus a bit more on specific drills, I think it would make the lessons even more effective. But yeah, worth trying out if you're looking to boost your game.

I found Richard's lesson quite helpful, especially his focus on touch and control during rallies, though I’d like to see more emphasis on footwork next time. His calm demeanor makes it easy to stay relaxed but still improve my game. If Richard tailored drills more specifically to my weaker strokes, I think I could make even better progress. Still, I feel like I’m heading in the right direction, and I’d encourage anyone interested in tennis to give his lessons a try.

Honestly, I’d say the lesson with Paul was pretty well-rounded since everything about my game got some attention. The lesson highlight, honestly, was just the overall focus on different aspects, though I think I need to work a bit more on my consistency to really see results. Still, I felt it was quite helpful, and I’m optimistic about making steady progress. If you’re looking for a coach who’s attentive and calm, Paul’s definitely someone to try out.

I’d say Richard's lesson was quite enjoyable, really. I particularly appreciated how engaging he was, and the lesson had a good flow overall. Though not overly transformative, it definitely helped reinforce some basics I needed to tighten up. I still plan to practice the drills we discussed. Still, it’s a pretty solid option for anyone looking to sharpen their skills without too much fuss.

Paul has been great to learn with so far. He has quickly identified potential areas of improvement for my game and made great use of the time we have during lessons. He also offered some enjoyable and inventive training strategies with low-compression balls. Highly recommend taking lessons with Paul, whether you are an experienced player or a beginner.

I appreciated how Richard focused on refining my serve, which was pretty helpful and clear, though I still need to work on consistency. The lesson highlighted key areas where I can improve, and I’m hopeful that with some practice, I’ll see better results. Still, I’d be open to trying another lesson to really lock in those adjustments.

Paul is great. I have had 2 lessons with Paul. As an intermediate player with some experience, taking lessons with Paul really helped me up my game and correct my forms. It is always hard to adjust to new forms once you're used to playing a certain way, but Paul's teaching style makes it natural.

Paul is great! We started training when we have zero experience and after 3 sessions with Paul, we can now rally with forehand and backhand. Paul is very patient, very experienced, and he always motivates us to improve. We are looking forward to our sessions every week
