“Veronique was super flexible to accommodate our timings. She worked with my daughter who is not an absolute beginner. Veronique worked on her backhand very patiently and explained her the techniques. Veronique was very observant and corrected her in friendly manner. She also gave her some homework before the next lesson.”Harshal, parentAbout VeroniqueHello 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,

“The lesson went well, really, focusing on one section at a time meant Emily wasn't overwhelmed, which was quite helpful for her first time back on the court. Though I hope her forehand starts resembling her previous shape soon, I appreciated how the approach was measured and clear. Still, I think with a bit more attention there, her technique could really improve. Ryan's way of breaking things down makes a difference, if you're thinking about trying him out, I’d say he's worth considering to see how steady guidance can support your game.”Ying G., student

“"My daughter plays USTA tournaments and we were looking for someone who could take her to the next level technically without rebuilding her from scratch. Dylan assessed her in one session and identified two things previous coaches had missed entirely. He's clearly trained at a high level himself and that shows. He doesn't guess, he knows. In just a few months she's already winning matches she would have lost before.””Craig B., parent · shared by Dylan
