Steve C.

Steve is great! As much as we thought we'd start playing right off the bat, Steve is all about mastering the fundamentals first... and in hindsight we wouldn't want it any other way. I highly recommend Steve for your next lessons!

Steve is an excellent coach. He focused on using the proper technique to help me improve my game.

Very good coach. Knows how to deal with kids.

The lessons have been GREAT! Steve is prompt, patient, kind and really engages the kids. He is working on helping them understand the basics of the stroke. He mixes up the exercises he does with them nicely. All the kids are enjoying the lessons.

Great! Thoughtful lesson plans, flexible, great experience for us.

Steve is an amazing teacher. It's amazing that my strokes were totally wrong my whole life!!! He explains things well, and many different ways to make sure that his students truly 'get it'. He takes teaching very seriously and is passionate about it. I can't imagine a better teacher.

My two young children have had 5 lessons so far with Steve. I was unsure how things would go given their different ages and skill level, but Steve has managed to keep both of them engaged and I'm seeing improvement in both of them already vs the time it takes to see noticeable improvement from group lessons. He's been very accommodating as to schedule as well. I highly recommend!

Best lesson in town

Steve is the real deal. He's such a clear, patient and creative instructor. He's always thinking of new and innovative ways to teach the fundamentals. I've been studying with him for 5+ months, and I have seen a gradual, seamless improvement in how I approach the game. I always look forward to our lessons together, and can't thank him enough!

Don't think twice about booking him (and before his schedule fills up with other students).

Steve is fantastic!!! My 15 yo son, Henry started his lessons with him in shortly after he recovered from wrist fracture. He helped to build up his strength and confidence back with each lesson. He’s very passionate tennis player and he was kind enough to take him to the US Open qualifying tournament to see and learn the techniques of the professionals. He also encourages him practice as much as possible and even non practice days he arranged some sessions with another student for him. He’s very friendly and caring. We can’t praise him enough. Thank you so much Steve!

Fun, flexible, experienced! Steve is a great, passionate coach!

Superb. The first lesson I dramatically increased my top spin!

Excellent instructor. This guy knows how to teach.

Steve is great. Very knowledgeable and patient. He's able to explain very well the technique doing multiple exercises that lead you to learn quickly.

Steve is such a dedicated coach with great tips & techniques to help beginners like me

Best coach I’ve had to date.

Steve has been great to pick up tennis with! I am a total beginner (26 yro) and over the course of three sessions, I already feel myself hitting better. He breaks down the moves and has creative drills for committing them to muscle memory.

My daughter is taking the second round of classes and she is loving it! Highly recommend!

My daughter enjoys classes with Steve! strongly recommend! Barbora

I took lessons with Steve over the summer - I was beginner level when I started, and took roughly 20 lessons with Steve.

Overall, Steve was a great teacher for my level, really breaking down the movements and strokes in multiple ways to drive the concepts home. We did a lot of fundamental exercises that focused on the feel of the varying strokes. As I progressed, Steve introduced hitting partners at a similar level and different drills. Steve helped me build a solid foundation to continue to grow my game.

I would 100% recommend Steve for beginners who are learning about the game because that was my experience. I did not to get to work with Steve a ton before I left NYC at the next level where I am now really craving a high volume of reps, point play, and tweaks to strokes/technique.

Thanks for all your help Steve!

Steve is a great instructor. My friend and I started taking lessons with him the last few weeks. We're beginners, and he has been super helpful at breaking down the elements of form and technique which has definitely helped us make long strides.

Just started lessons with Steve. In our first lesson, he methodically showed me a new way (for me) to hit forehands, and I was immediately playing with more control than ever. Looking forward to really getting my game into good shape with Steve.

I had only picked up a racquet once before my lessons with Steve and he got me up to speed right away. He teaches techniques in different ways until it resonates with me, which I find really helpful. So far having a great experience.

Beware, Steven doesn't teach you how to play in the first 6 classes, only drills. I felt like it's a waste of money.

Steve was really helpful and in breaking down all the basics of a good forehand, backhand and serve. I was very new to tennis when I started and feel that my game improved tremendously with Steve's help. Steve is communicative, easy-going and a great teacher!

Steve is great if you are looking to build skill while having the right amount of fun. I recommend him!

So far, we have only had one lesson- he has not returned texts after the first lesson to set up the next lesson. Steve was a delight and very helpful with basic techniques. We need more than basics because we have played and need to fast-forward to service and backhand- our goals. I hope he contacts us soon so that we can achieve these goals.

We had a terrific second lesson with Steve.
Showed us all the techniques forehand and service- exactly as performed in the men's finals at Wimbledon!
We had to re-learn everything, and his points were very valid. A very knowledgeable coach who is a bit of a renaissance person:)
Hopefully, we will be successful in our week of tennis at the Cape.

I've been practicing with Steve for about 2 months and he's been an amazing coach. As someone who is in their 30s, totally not athletic, and have no sense of hand/eye coordination, surprisingly, he's been able to help me play and play better each time I work with him. Steve has a keen eye on the possibilities of growth and how to coach each person based on their personality and movement, never discriminating against any shortcomings each of us may have. The important thing about playing tennis or any new sport as an adult is to grow more confident with each lesson and practice session while learning brand new skills. Steve is able to shepherd every student to do so and it's a wonderful thing. Highly recommend him to kids and adults of all ages!
