I enjoy seeing the growth in novice players, even after just a few lessons. Although I have not coached as long as others, I have a passion for improvement and helping to get the best out of others. I am in college currently, so my only unavailability revolves around courses I am taking at UNL.

I like to keep practices fun and competitive while striving not only to teach my students how to perform certain skills but also the reasoning and uses behind it. This helps my students develop a higher tennis IQ, greater confidence, and an overall more competitive level.

I am a former English teacher who loves the game of tennis. I want to make sure that my students love the game they are learning. I like to have fun doing drills so that they don't become boring. I like to build my student's confidence up as they learn something new.

I have taught, coached, and competed at all levels. I believe I have the intangibles of experience and communication to aid in learning, in addition to the manuals of instruction to introduce or enhance any tennis game. I look forward to helping you learn and improve your game.

I played on the UMKC team during my senior year and currently compete at the 4.0 and 4.5 levels. My teaching approach incorporates drills and active instruction, along with asking questions to get feedback from students. I pace lessons and drills to emphasize correct fundamentals. I primarily teach adults and young adult beginners, with a patient and encouraging teaching style. I look forward to working with you!

I am a joyous person who is in love with and addicted to the game of tennis. I want to spread my knowledge to as many youngsters as possible! A fun fact about me is that I’ve never cheated or thrown a tantrum in a match. I also serve on the USTA Community Play Committee to create more local opportunities for players. Additionally, I founded a nonprofit organization called Forty Love, which runs annual tennis tournaments to benefit a homeless outreach program.

For me, tennis is more than just a sport—it's a lifelong passion. I've been playing for over 7 years, starting in high school and continuing to play 2-3 times a week. Throughout this time, I’ve taught players of all ages and skill levels, from beginner to intermediate. I love the strategic depth and physical challenge of the game, and nothing brings me more joy than seeing my students improve and excel.

I am 18 years old and I currently train at Blue Hills Country Club with Chris Smith. I recently committed to the University of Illinois-Springfield to play division 2 tennis. I have been in the tennis community for a while. I have reached beginner tennis lessons for neighborhood kids over the summer. I am looking for a job who can help people grow as a player.

I'm originally from the caribbean, a small island called St.Vincent. It was my younger sister forcing me to accompany her to a tennis lesson that lead to my discovery and love for the sport.
