About Me

In addition, I am an AFAA Certified Personal Trainer, Certified PHI Pilates Instructor, and a Senior Group Fitness Instructor. I work with people of all ages and abilities. In 2010, I received the USTA Tennis Teaching Professional of the Year Award for the Allegheny Mountain District.
Teaching Style
My style is one in which I emphasize the mechanics of the strokes and also using your body in the most efficient way to learn an incredible sport. Each lesson is based on the individual.

Coach Mark is very professional and patient in answering our questions. He always gives good practice and shows us how to hit the ball correctly. We enjoyed practicing with Coach Mark and our tennis skills have improved significantly. Highly recommend to anyone who wants to learn tennis.
I enjoyed my lessons with Mark and I feel like my skills improved across the six lessons.
We moved to Pittsburgh in Jun'24 and immediately we started lessons with Mark. And we realized we found good teacher in you. Though we were with you for around 3 months, the time was memorable as I saw the different teaching methods compared to others.
I would like to breakdown my feedback little in detail as
1. **Technical Expertise**: Your ability to break down strokes and explain techniques is clear and helpful, especially when it comes to area like serving, footwork, or volley - specially backhand.
2. **Teaching Style**: Your approach is engaging and encouraging. I appreciate how you use drills tailored to skill level and incorporate strategy into practice sessions
3. **Communication**: You explain concepts in a way that is easy to understand and are always patient, which makes learning enjoyable.
I am really happy and feel that my daughter has made good progress under you. Thank you so much Mark, take care.
Mark is THE best tennis instructor I have ever had!! He is so kind, enthusiastic, supportive, and patient. I have seen myself grow from an absolute beginner to an actual beginner tennis player in only 9 lessons. He is so caring, he always checks in after lessons to make sure it's not only helpful but also fun! I cannot recommend Mark enough, if you live in Pittsburgh BOOK A LESSON WITH MARK NOW! You will be so, so happy you did, I definitely am.
Great coach,patient and give good practice. Each lesson is well-structured, and their guidance has significantly improved my skills.
Had a great first lesson with Coach Mark. He is a nice guy who is patient and made it fun. Can’t wait for next lesson!
Mark is an excellent coach!
Mark is very encouraging. My partner and I are beginners, so he planned each course with different warm-ups and exercises to help us build our skills. We can see our progress each lesson and will soon be able to play against each other. We love the time we spent with Mark.
Mark is a great coach! Very professional and all the communication was great as well. I wish I could have more lessons with him if I was not leaving Pittsburgh soon.
Good and professional coach for lesson,and I would like to thank him for the patience!Looking forward to the last classes.
Great lesson! Looking forward to future lessons.
Fantastic teacher. Patient, knowledgeable, methodical, very professional. The focus is on the lesson at all times. Mark quickly diagnoses the issues that need to be addressed and works on them thoroughly. He is outstanding.
