About Marc

Since I was nine years old, tennis has been my passion and my life's journey. Competing as a junior and in regional and national men's tournaments honed my skills, culminating in my ranking as the top junior player in Washington DC at 17 and 18 years old. Those formative years on the court shaped me into the player and person I am today, driven by a love for the game and a commitment to excellence.

Level: Beginner•Lessons taken: 25•Verified ✓

That lesson with Manny was quite helpful, especially since we focused a lot on my goals and my serve. I appreciated the flexibility he gave regarding my grip and foot position, which made a difference. The review of forehand and backhand techniques, plus some footwork drills, felt balanced and practical. Still, I want to keep working on my serve and learn new types of serves next time. Manny’s approach made me see how crucial footwork really is for the game. Maybe next time, more drills on movement could be beneficial, but overall, it was a good, productive lesson. I think I’ll try to keep improving with Manny’s guidance.

What stood out most was how clearly Marc explains the mechanics of tennis in a way that really makes sense. The focus on technique and understanding the movements helped me grasp the game better. I also love how prepared he is for each individual lesson. He understands actually how to teach so that you are building on your skills. If you want to improve your tennis skills with clear guidance, Marc’s lessons are definitely worth trying. You’ll walk away with useful tips and a better feel for the sport. 🎾 He is also just so encouraging and teaches in a way that motivates and inspires. It will be the best part of your day.

I had a great experience with my Manny. He was punctual and had the lesson very well organized. We started with a warm-up and then went over the basics of tennis. He took the time to observe my game and identify the key areas I needed to work on. The feedback and techniques he shared were clear, practical, and easy to apply—I noticed a big improvement in my game after just one session. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to build a strong foundation and improve their tennis skills.

Manny’s lesson was quite well organized, and I appreciated how encouraging he was throughout. The new serve practice method was pretty helpful, and he was flexible when I asked to focus on volleys and slide techniques. Still, I think working more on footwork and backhand positioning could help me react faster. Overall, a good session that left me feeling motivated to keep improving. If you're looking for a coach who’s consistent and attentive, maybe give Manny a try.

The lesson really underscored the importance of consistency and fundamentals, which I found pretty helpful, especially since those really do form the backbone of solid tennis. Marc’s approach was quite practical, and I appreciated how the focus was clearly on building reliable habits. Still, I think applying that consistency outside of lesson would make a bigger difference. If you’re looking for someone who emphasizes steady progress, you might want to try Marc.

This lesson was quite good, especially since we covered different shot selection to win points, which I found quite helpful. Though, I think more consistency in my play would make a real difference. Still, I appreciate Marc’s calm approach, he helps me stay focused and practical with my improvements. If you’re after steady progress, trying Marc could be beneficial.
