Raphael Y is an excellent coach, he is very responsible, very nice. I am very happy with my lessons.
Look no further; Raphael is the coach who will undoubtedly elevate your game to the next level. He employs a focused, strategic instructional approach to ensure my fundamentals are solid and second-nature. Raphael has a breadth of experience-based knowledge on which I can rely when I have questions and input about my progress. Filming my serving technique and analyzing it with me is one example of how he takes an extra effort to instruct me. If you're hoping to find the coach who will care about your improvement and success as much as you do, Raphael is your best choice.
I am left-handed and he teaches left-handed clients well. He taught me a good grip for left-handers and that has been going well for me so far.
He really helped to step up my game level. I became a solid NTRP 4.0 from 3.0
He is the best coach I have ever had with beginners. Really patient and encouraging!
