About James

I was a four-year varsity player at Oberlin College and currently work in economic consulting. I am also currently building a post-match feedback platform for competitive players (we are currently demoing the product for a select group of players). Outside of tennis, I completed a 2,800 mile walk across America a few years ago and am currently training for an Ironman. I value discipline, consistency, and long-term development, and I enjoy working with players who want to improve and are willing to put in the work.

What students say...

"My 12-year old son has been taking lessons with James and it’s been a really positive experience. James is very encouraging but also keeps him focused and working hard. My son looks forward to the lessons each work and has been doing better in his tournaments recently.

Finding a tennis coach in Santa Monica is simple

1.

Find the right tennis coach in Santa Monica.

We help you find the best tennis coach for your needs. Filter by skill level, group size, and location. Browse our list of tennis coaches that meet your criteria and watch their intro videos to determine if the coach is the right match for you. Our tennis coaches are vetted, reviewed, and rated to make your decision easier. If you're having trouble finding the best tennis lessons near you, reach out to our lessons coordinator by clicking the "Have any questions?" button at the top right of the page.

2.

Schedule your tennis lesson in seconds.

Unlike other websites, TeachMe.To lets you schedule your tennis lesson time and location online in seconds. We make the whole process seamless. Other websites for finding Santa Monica tennis lessons and coaches make it hard to book and have very little information on pricing and scheduling. Not with us: we make it easy to find the right date, time, and place to learn tennis.

3.

Instantly connect with your tennis coach.

Get in touch with your tennis coach immediately with the TeachMe.To mobile app. It's total free and available on iPhone and Android. Our app is the one-stop shop for managing your tennis lessons on our platform. Communicate with your tennis coach, get notified about new messages, view and manage upcoming tennis lessons near you, track your progress, and get access to support services - all in one place.

It's really that simple.

Frequently asked questions

What to expect when you take a Tennis lesson in Santa Monica

The first lesson for a beginner player

R

Coach Richard

tennis coach

Players 3.0 to 4.0. We will adapt you to warm-up drills similar to what you would see in all colleges. This will allow us to see how comfortable you are on court. And based on what I see in your on-court abilities will determine how fast we move you into tiebreaks and/or sets. We'll discuss what things you would like to improve on and work those into what I call micro drills.

Coach Ali

In the first lesson, I evaluate the player's technique, footwork, and overall consistency through rally-based drills. I also ask about their goals and experience to tailor the training plan.

A racket, comfy outfit and some "tennis" shoes made for tennis! (Not running, walking, hiking, crosstraining shoes, etc.) However, basketball shoes will suffice too. Please bring your OWN RACKET which you can purchase on Amazon or at BIG 5 or DICK'S SPORTING GOODS.
