Best 27 coaches for lessons near North Druid Hills, GA

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.

"The lesson with Eric was quite helpful. He was patient and really took the time to help me improve my skills. Though I still have some work, I feel more confident on the court now. I’d say, give him a try if you're looking for someone who genuinely wants to see you progress.

Honestly, I was surprised at how accessible the instruction was, made me a bit more confident.
