"I'm quite satisfied with the lesson with Valdrez, especially the focus on consistent work on my serve and forehand. Though I’d say I still need to keep at it, the progress felt steady. Still, more of the same kind of practice should help me get closer to where I want to be. Definitely a calm, constructive approach that I’d recommend trying if you're looking to refine specific strokes.

Sheila
I’ve been passionate about tennis for over 20 years, thanks to my father who introduced me to the game at a young age. I earned my coaching certification from The Professional Tennis Registry in 2021 and have since coached for Nike Tennis Camps, Smoke Rise Country Club, and offered private lessons. As a former Division II college player, I also volunteered at an afterschool program, where I had the chance to teach kids tennis alongside a local coach. This experience, along with four years of coaching at Reading & Requests, taught me the value of listening to students and using positive reinforcement to foster rapid improvement. In my lessons, I focus on mastering the six basic strokes, keeping score, proper hand placement, and understanding the rules of the game. My classes are designed to be dynamic, fun, and structured for maximum skill development.
"Great tips!
