Private Lessons & Coaches in Eldersburg, MD

I’ve been a Floridian my entire life until I made the move up to Virginia last Spring with my wife and 3 dogs. I’ve been a certified athletic trainer, high school teacher and tennis coach for the past 20 years. I became a USPTA teaching professional about 10 years ago and have taught kids as young as 5 to adults as old as 65. I’ve coached the Gainesville High School girls tennis team the past 2 years. I believe tennis is truly a sport of a lifetime that can be enjoyed by all ages and abilities.

I’ve been running since middle school, and one lesson has shaped my coaching more than any certification: the biggest breakthroughs came when I stayed healthy enough to train consistently. That’s why my approach blends individualized run programming with strength, movement quality, recovery, and injury prevention. With backgrounds in both coaching and counseling, I help athletes build awareness, durability, and sustainable habits so progress can compound for years, not just one race cycle.

"Ms. Bree was amazing. I’m 12 years old this was my first year playing ever. Ms. Bree taught me so much about how to play, the positions, and she really cared. She makes it fun but challenging. I can’t wait for my next training!

I am a classically trained vocal coach, I coach students of all ages in the area of Pop, Gospel, Classical, R&B, Jazz, Opera, Rock and Musical Theater. I train students on breath control, pitch, enhancing the quality of their tone, stage presence, extending vocal range, building confidence and diction. I do not believe vocal lessons should be a chore. I strive to make my lessons fun and energizing while pulling out each student’s natural gifts and creativity. I personalize each lesson and encourage students to explore all their musical interest. When you finish each lesson with me, you will feel refreshed and uplifted.
