About Me
Hi, my name Nancy. I have been teaching tennis for more than 40 years. I was the head tennis counselor at Camp Canadensis (Poconos, PA) in 1979 where I organized tennis classes, taught all strokes and game strategy. In the past I have also been an assistant tennis instructor at places such as Indian Spring Country Club (Silver Spring, MD), Regency Racket Club (now McLean Sport & Health/McLean, VA), and Holland Hills Swim & Racket Club (Alexandria, VA). My duties included teaching adult and junior private lessons, organizing children's camps and coaching tennis teams. Most recently I have been a tennis pro at Crosspointe Tennis Club (Fairfax Station, VA) where I conduct adult and junior tennis lessons to all skill levels. As a player I was no. 1 for Cheltenham High School (outside of Philadelphia, PA) and went on to play no. 1 singles and doubles at The American University. I was always a top 10 ranked player in the Middle States rankings from 12 & under all the way up to 18 & under. I competed in various national junior tournaments, including Easter Bowl and Orange Bowl and also competed in USTA Adult League (5.0): 1990-1992/1996-present in both 4.5 and 5.0 divisions. I recently completed my 6th as the head coach of the Varsity Girls tennis team at Mount Vernon High School (Alexandria, VA) and was the head Varsity Girls Tennis Coach at Robinson Secondary School (Fairfax, VA) for two years prior. I have been a teaching pro for MyTennisLessons.com for over ten years. I just moved to Bradenton, Florida and look forward to working with my new students!
Teaching Style
I have taught at private country clubs, swim and tennis clubs, indoor tennis clubs, schools and public courts. Depending on the student, and if private or group lessons, I develop the proper drills, stoke development and playing strategy, accordingly. I coached the Varsity Girls Tennis team at Robinson Secondary School (Fairfax, VA) for two seasons and am currently in my 5th season coaching the Mount Vernon HS Varsity Girls Tennis team in Alexandria, VA.

Nancy is a great coach. After just 5 lessons I’m noticing a major improvement in my game. She is clearly a very experienced tennis coach and player, with a lot of advice and tips to share. The drills we run are effective and targeted to improve my weak areas.
She is kind and just overall great to be around 😊 I highly recommend Nancy to anyone looking - don’t hesitate just book it!
Nancy is amazing!
Besides teaching me, I asked her to give a lesson to my 6 year old and husband and she has just been so excellent with all of us. I feel so grateful to have been taught by her and improved so much. She feels like a Wimbledon coach she’s that good and professional. Thanks so much Nancy!!!
Nancy was amazing my first lesson, I can’t believe all the areas we covered in just an hour!
I feel like a much better tennis player already with one lesson - I highly recommend her. She was very focused, efficient, friendly and professional.
Very patient with and adjusts according to student’s skill and ability. Very organized and my inspiration for mental and physical fitness.
I would recommend her to anyone anytime.
I loved Nancy! She was amazing! The one thing I loved the most was her patience. Obviously, very experienced she was quick to praise, quick to correct. Never felt she was blowing smoke up my b--- (sorry, is it okay to write that)? Must admit that I was really impressed that she was a fit, knowledgeable, mature woman! GIRL POWER! Looking forward to my next lesson !
My two daughters have been practicing with Nancy for about a half year by now, and I must say she’s the best coach I’ve ever met. She’s experienced and patient with students. She knows how to encourage and bring the best out of them.
I had my first lesson today with Nancy. She listen to my goals, asked great questions, and then proceeded to give me a fabulous one hour lesson tailored to what I am looking to accomplish. I cannot say enough good things about her, and I am already looking forward to my future sessions!
Nancy is coaching my 15-year-old daughter. She likes her coaching style a lot. Nancy encourages and motivates her. Nancy is always on time, flexible when needed, and very professional. My daughter looks forward to her sessions.
My 1st session was good. I felt comfortable and no pressure. Nancy's critique of my form was presented without being judgemental, but rather informative and easy to follow. Looking forward to continuing with my future sessions.
Nancy is an outstanding instructor. She quickly identified how to improve my backhand . She was very patient and gave me tips throughout the lesson. It was a pleasure to work with her. In just one hour, we covered so many skills that I feel so confident now to practice the sport more regularly. I look forward to my next lesson with her.
My daughter has been coached by Nancy for awhile and has had wonderful experience. She is very attentive and gives great tips and advice. We highly recommend her.
