"Amazing! Highly recommend!

Hello everyone! My name is Veronique. I'm a USPTA certified tennis professional, and I play comfortably at a pro level with—an eclectic and unconventional style — the right players. * As a teaching pro ♣ I understand the game very well- with high match IQ). I used to dance ballet as well which helped me a lot to have a smooth and a fluid style, and a great foot work and balance. When it comes to tennis it is all about fitness, agility, stamina, endurance, mental fortitude at the critical moment of the match--- and a great technique to sustain a high level for a long period of time. About my tennis style and teaching- you will learn any style you like that fits your game, using spin and slices as well as being eclectic and /or conventional ... and how to develop a technically sound serve ( the serve in tennis is one of or the most important elements if you like to be very competitive). ♣ Teaching philosophy is-- (based around student and teacher-centered approach): I do not like to talk much during the session( I don't over/or under coach but I give you what you need to be ) Despite-- I emphasize a lot on the technique and repetitions so you can improve in the right way, while having fun. -- and after finishing the lessons, the students will have an idea on what they need to do to become good recreational players, or advanced or professional players, and what their strengths and weaknesses are... from which they will be able to diagnose their own game. ♣ Personal --I'm also multilingual-- graduate student (I have a minor, BA, MA---,(and PhD is my next goal. * I taught tennis in high school as well - private school - and all my students said that I'm the best coach they have ever had . ♣I love fitness, organic food, and my favorite sport is gymnastics which is the only complete sport and most difficult to master. Personality - *I'm very nice, caring, gentle, sincere, humble, open minded , very wise and patient with excellent communication skills Thank you and have a wonderful day and see you on court. Sincerely your, Veronique

"Darian is patient, helpful, and kind even when I feel uncoordinated and clumsy. He’s strengthened my technique with precision. He’s quite particular about the technique, but it works. One thing I need to work on now is my own stamina, and then i’ll be a noticeably stronger tennis player than I was before I started meeting with Darian.

"Had very actionable advice

I’m a dedicated tennis coach with three years of experience teaching both kids and adults. As a self taught player with other sports in my background, I quickly picked up the sport and now share my knowledge with others. I specialize in all aspects of the game, including strategy, technique and fitness. I can adapt my coaching style to fun, disciplined, or competitive based on the player needs. I feel joy in helping others improve their game and experience.

"Had an introductory lesson with Jonathan. He was super attentive to my form and gave great pointers. I appreciate that he was patient and encouraging as I am relearning tennis after a long lapse in time. I’m looking forward to my next lesson.

Originally from Israel, my love for tennis began at age 9, leading me to train at various top academies in my home country. By my late teens, I had achieved the 2nd spot in a national tournament and competed internationally, which deepened my passion for the sport. My journey took me to Spain for further training and then to the United States, where I played singles and doubles for a Division 1 tennis team for 4 years. Now, I find immense joy in coaching and watching my students grow both in their skills and their appreciation for the game.

"Oh, I’d say the lesson was quite helpful, really, we worked through when to use line or cross shots, plus some focus on my forehand and backhand ground strokes. Though I’d like to get more practice on my serve and volleys at the net, the work on adding power to my serve felt quite useful. Thanks to the clear guidance, I feel more confident about my ground game now. If you're thinking about giving Subrato a try, it’s probably worth a shot.
