I coached youth tennis for about a year at Southern California Tennis Academy, working with players of different ages and skill levels. My coaching style is technical, patient, and focused on steady improvement. I enjoy breaking down strokes, footwork, and shot selection in a way that feels clear and useful. As a player, I played 4 years of varsity and a handful of junior tournaments, getting to a 7.3 UTR. Based on my skill level, I can best serve beginners to high intermediates.

I've been playing tennis for 14+ years and coaching for about 2 years. I started my coaching career at the same tennis center I've played at for 10 years. At first, I coached younger players, ages 5-10, but as I progressed I moved on to older, more advanced athletes who needed more refined strategic and technical input. For 2 years my player evaluation and feedback skills have developed into a strong background.

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.

"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.

Fueled by a lifelong love for tennis, I bring over 30 years of experience, including my time as a professional athlete, to the court.

I teach all levels with a simplified, holistic approach allowing for fast improvement to ensure a positive and rewarding experience for every student.

"Scott is a remarkable coach. As a high level player, I’ve found it very difficult to find a coach who truly understands the interplay of technique and tactics, and clearly communicate it the way Scott does. Additionally, he offers tremendous insight on the mental side of the game, which has helped me a great deal. I highly recommend!
