About Me
For 6 years I was the head tennis coach for adults with learning disabilities at a non-profit organization in the South Orange area. I taught basic tennis skills every spring and prepared the clients for competition at sectionals and Special Olympics. I had a very successful team each year with many of my players winning medals, including an undefeated gold medalist in Division 1 singles. I am very proud of their accomplishments.
I have instructed tennis to general populations as well. These included: An assistant JV coach at Pingry Prep school (Martinsville, NJ), Camp Taconic – a sleep-away camp in the Berkshires, the head coach for a middle school in Summit through the Summit Tennis Assoc, Camp Oasis, YMCA Day Camp, and for the for the past seven (7) years, I've been the sole coach for the Adult School of the Chathams, Madison and Florham Park.
I am passionate about tennis and play recreational matches throughout the year and participate in clinics and in local tournaments. I also string, regrip and sell racquets at my other job and I follow the ATP and WTA religiously.
Teaching Style
I typically teach teens and adults who have a USTA rating below 4.0. I cover the fundamentals first which includes: grips and groundstrokes. As the player progresses we move onto volleys, followed by serves. Movement and proper footwork is stressed. I've also been practicing yoga for 18 years and can incorporate a few good stretches before the lessons.

He is extremely professional and easy to schedule session. He is committed and a great coach
Coach Aaron has been an incredible coach for my kid—and more importantly, a truly great person to work with. His passion for tennis is obvious—not just in the way he teaches, but in how he lives it, playing regularly himself and bringing that same energy to every lesson. He’s excellent at teaching all the fundamentals, and he has a real gift for adjusting his approach to fit each individual player’s needs. My kid has learned so much under his guidance, and always looks forward to his lessons. On top of that, Aaron is incredibly flexible and accommodating. He’s gone out of his way time and again to work with our schedule, which we really appreciate. We feel very lucky to have found him—highly recommended!
Very professional and knowledgeable. With the first lesson, he analyzed what I need to improve on and worked on those things with me. It was a great first lesson and I’m looking forward to all my future lessons with Aaron.
Aaron is a fantastic coach, teaching fundamentals to a novice. There was improvement every week. Thank you, Aaron!
Aaron was very good at teaching tennis basics to a beginner. He effectively taught the techniques required for backhand, forehand and serves. Very patient with a beginner!
I've enjoyed my lessons with Aaron! He is patient, gives clear instruction, and allows me to choose what I want to work on. I would recommend taking lessons with Aaron.
My experience with Aaron was nothing more than positive. I can already see some improvements from just one lesson. I can tell he loves playing tennis just as much as he enjoys teaching others.
Aaron has been instructing my teenage daughter to help strengthen her skills prior to the fall season. From the beginning he has been commincative, responsible, and responsive and my daughter tells me a good instructor as well.
My son has enjoyed his lessons with Aaron and is improving his game.
Aaron is super patient and offers great building blocks of advice. After my lessons I felt so much more confident in my game and had learned tons of ways to improve. He does a good job of mixing up drills and lets you pick what you want to work on. Definitely recommend him for any level player.
