About Me
Hello my name is Jeff and I am a local Santa Monica tennis coach with over 35 years of playing experience and over 20 years of teaching experience both in Europe and the United States. I played NCAA Division 1 tennis at East Tennessee State University where I was a 3 Time NCAA Southern Conference Champion and I was a member of National Davis Cup Team in Turkey until I was 18-years-old. I was also a former world ranked tennis player. I can guarantee that you’ll get some good exercise while hitting some balls with me!
Teaching Style
I am offering fun private tennis lessons, semi-private tennis lessons, group tennis lessons and hitting only sessions for all ages (kids, teens, adults, seniors) and all skill levels (beginner, intermediate, advanced). So whether you need to work on some specifics like your forehand, backhand, volley, serve, service return, overhead, drop shot, approach shot, footwork, singles strategy or doubles strategy-I would be more than happy to help you out with your tennis game!

Jeff is such a great guy and a fantastic professional instructor. I was a 4.5 player when I started with him and just after a couple months hitting with him, I was so much more consistent and i am now 5.5 player, he had such an effect on my whole game. Can't thank him enough.
Jeff is amazing. He was both a very good coach and a fun guy to work out with. He is very knowledgeable about the game. He was very good explaining the strokes in the simplest way. He was very encouraging and made the lessons very fun. I made a very quick progress and he definitely helped me in doing so. Would recommend him to anyone looking to improve their game and have fun doing it"
Jeff is very fun, easygoing but also clearly very experienced in playing and teaching tennis. With couple lessons he corrected my backhands and improved my overall game. I am hitting more consistently and enjoying tennis more thanks to him!
He is a very technical coach that makes the lessons fun. He is energetic and a always on time. I enjoyed my lessons woth Coach Jeff. He improved my serve and backhand slice in just a couple of lessons. I was sad to see him leave my home town.
