“Greg’s skill in pinpointing my weaknesses really made a difference, and I appreciated how he focused on improving my game without overdoing it. If you’re looking for a lesson that’s quite helpful and tailored, Greg is worth trying.”Chuck D., studentAbout GregOver 40 years of playing experience and over 20 years teaching experience! I have played tennis since I was 6 years old and I first learned how to play tennis from my parents at an early age. I then began taking lessons from tennis instructors who had many years of playing experience. They brought a wealth of knowledge to me as a junior, which in turn helped me learn and excel as a junior player. I was one of the top 10 junior players in Texas and also competed in all national tennis tournaments around the country. It was an incredible experience and I very much hope to be able to pass on some of what I’ve learned to some of my tennis students in the San Antonio area!Go to profile98OutstandingTop rated
