Zurab is an excellent coach. He helped me improve my tennis game in all aspects. He is very patient, explains things clearly, and makes it fun to learn. I'd definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a great tennis coach.
My teenage son, an advanced junior on his varsity high school tennis team, took a series of lessons with Coach Zurab. Zurab is a very skilled player and encouraging coach- he helped my son significantly improve his match play and technique. Zurab was also great at communicating and arranging a great outdoor court location and lesson times. My son looks forward to working with Zurab again in future seasons. Highly recommend!
Zurab is a great teacher. He has a very positive attitude, excellent attention to detail, and gives clear, honest feedback!
Zurab was an excellent coach, and somehow managed to improve my game noticeably. :) I did 6 lessons with Zurab and he focused on my weakest areas to make them stronger. Was a pleasure and would highly recommend!
Zurab is an excellent player and coach. Being an expert player himself, he obviously understands the game very well. He was able to point out a number of nuanced mistakes I was making that really helped my game. Also, he can hit the ball very hard, so it was fun hitting and playing long rallies with him!
My son who is new to tennis is very excited about tennis thanks to Zurab
I played my first lesson with Zurab last week, and found him to be very friendly, always with a smile on his face, very knowledgeable about tennis with excellent teaching points, and really really good at tennis --I tend to hit hard (I'm about a 4.5), but this guy played division 1 and was an amazing hitting partner. He actually motivated me near the end of the lesson and I got probably the best workout I've gotten in the last 5 years or so. Great all-around coach!
