Teaching Style

I will teach my students all the techniques in tennis from hitting forehand, backhand, serves, volleys, and overhead. We will be doing a lot of rallying which is hitting back and forth. I will teach my students the scoring, positioning and strategies of playing singles and doubles match plays.

Marcus A. (Verified Review)

I took tennis lessons with Coach John for a couple of months during COVID and found myself significantly improving in the sport. He not only consistently provided feedback during our 2 hour class, but made sure I understood how to apply those corrections myself.

It was a great workout, and Coach John is a friendly person who cares about your improvement and the value you get out of the class. I highly recommend taking classes if you are looking to pick the sport back up, starting the sport for the first time, or to improve your fundamentals of the sport.

I also got to play doubles even after our class with John's community, which was pretty fun :)

Annie W. (Verified Review)

A very effective coach. He is patient with slow-learners like me. I would surely recommend John to family and friends who would like to learn tennis as an exercise or/and a sport.

Luzviminda M. (Verified Review)

I’ve known John Will since the early 2000s and one of his main passions is tennis! He has brought his talent from the Philippines to the US. If you are a beginner or have some kind of people experience, this gentleman will give you that push you need to be the best you can be and maybe more if you follow all of his coaching!

Let him help you to get the skills you need for this amazing sport!

Cesar L. (Verified Review)

Our whole family had and is having an amazing experience with John! Our Kids-5, 6,7,12, me and my husband being on different levels, beginning to advanced- he adopted to all of our levels and patiently challenges us to the next level. He is both an amazing family tennis coach and a great one if you need guidance to the next level.
We love our Sunday tennis days with coach John!

John is a great coach. As a beginner not knowing much he has helped me improve quickly. He goes over the fundamentals and the training also helps with accuracy and cardio for a great workout. Definitely recommend.

Christian M. (Verified Review)

Coach John brings high energy to every session. He also knows a lot of other tennis players in the community so I get a chance to practice doubles with them at the end of my sessions if time allows. I really hate doubles but I am slowly getting better. Thank you John for your mentorship and coaching

Carol L. (Verified Review)

Coach John is by far the best tennis coach I have ever had. He is a stickler for fundamentals, which goes back to his days of playing internationally. He also coached in both the high school and collegiate level. He is very thorough when teaching but most importantly he is very patient and kind! I highly recommend coach John!

JOHN is a great coach! His lessons are great ... makes the lessons really fun. He’s able to pick out a few pointers to give me that make an immediate improvement & real difference to my shots & my serve. After a couple of hours, I felt there was genuine improvement in my game. Great lessons! Well worth it !

I would highly recommend JOHN to all wanting to learn tennis, irrespective of your standard or age.

John was very patient with me. I haven't played tennis for quite sometime. His coaching helped me get back to shape quickly. He taught me proper techniques to improve my swing. His footwork tips helped a lot as well. Will definitely recommend him to friends and family. Highly rated coach.

Monch O. (Verified Review)

John is a great tennis instructor. He is patient with my daughters. My daughters are having fun learning and playing tennis.

Vincent W. (Verified Review)

Recently had two lessons with John - only two! - and he greatly improved my game. I haven’t played in years, was on a team in grade school. So was a little nervous if I could even remember the basics lol.

John’s teaching methods were perfect. He is patient. And effective. He gave me little tips that improved my swings almost immediately.
He will definitely better your game, or teach it to you from the ground up. Can’t wait for my next lesson!

Pati M. (Verified Review)

Coach Johns tennis lessons are always fun and I like the variety of drills we do during our lessons. It is obvious he is very knowledgeable and is very clear when teaching. His rates are great compared to other private lesson coaches as well. He teaches you everything from the rules of tennis to perfecting volleys and overhands. Looking forward to more lessons!

It has been years since I last played tennis and John was very patient to teach me the basic forms again. He also prepares drills for my level of tennis and we do rally afterwards. I am looking forward to more sessions with John so i can improve my play.

Tin O. (Verified Review)

John is an amazing tennis coach. He spends much needed time with younger people to provide them guidance and basics of the game. He is highly respected among his students, colleagues, local tennis sports. His services are top-notch in the area and comes at a pretty good cost. I highly recommend him to anyone wanting to learn tennis.
