About Me

As a passionate tennis enthusiast who began playing at an early age, I bring extensive experience in competitive-level play, backed by a strong track record of achievements in tournaments and leagues. I was an educator for 30 years, I've had the privilege of coaching students from diverse age groups, some of whom have excelled at the professional level or earned scholarships for their tennis prowess.

As a USNTA certified Tennis Instructor and member of the United States National Tennis Academy, I am committed to ongoing learning, staying updated on the latest coaching techniques. My teaching approach emphasizes personalized instruction tailored to each student's learning style and needs, conveying complex tennis concepts in simple terms while inspiring and encouraging players to reach their full potential. With a keen eye for detail and a genuine love for the sport, I create a positive and enjoyable learning environment, guiding students through their tennis journey with patience, sportsmanship, and professionalism. I collaborate with fellow coaches and tennis organizations to support player development and the growth of the sport, utilizing video analysis software and other technological tools to enhance coaching effectiveness. I strive to inspire players to achieve their tennis goals while fostering a culture of excellence and camaraderie on and off the court.

Teaching Style

My teaching style emphasizes personalized instruction tailored to each player's unique strengths and areas for improvement. I specialize in nurturing technical skills, mental resilience, and a passion for the sport. Lessons are structured to include a balance of skill-building drills, strategy discussions, and match play, ensuring comprehensive development while fostering a positive and supportive learning environment.

I took lessons with Jacob as a beginner and thoroughly enjoyed the classes. I would take him again if I decide to extend my lessons! I feel like I was able to have a good grasp on the basics after just a handful of classes.
