Private Tennis Lessons & Coaches in Salem, NH

Tennis has been a lifelong love, with my journey extending to Lafayette College where I was a four-year starter in both doubles and singles. My teaching journey began in high school when I started instructing at local clubs and working as a counselor at tennis camps. Witnessing the transformation and improvement in other players' games is something I find incredibly rewarding. I'm here to help you take your tennis skills to the next level and share in your success on the court.

"Point out the issue I have and give training with patience

I’m passionate about fostering a love for tennis in players of all ages and skill levels. My decade of experience, coupled with my background as an experienced player, allows me to create engaging and effective training programs tailored to individual goals. As an ambidextrous player, I’m able to demonstrate and coach from both the forehand and backhand sides naturally, which gives students a unique visual and technical advantage when learning stroke mechanics, positioning, and shot development. In addition to tennis, I’ve played hockey and baseball throughout my life, which has given me a deep understanding of athletic movement, discipline, and cross-training techniques. I often integrate elements from those sports—like agility drills, hand-eye coordination work, and strength and conditioning regimens—that translate exceptionally well on the tennis court. Let’s work together to elevate your game!

"He’s a very attentive coach, and I had so much fun learning tennis from him!

I base training from these 4 anchors: 1. Athletic Development -> footwork patterns, reaction time, agility 2. Stroke Mechanics -> correcting technical inefficiencies 3. Spatial Judgement/Ball Tracking -> how to track the ball and judge spacing 4. Strategy/Tactics -> how to exploit opponents

"Great lesson for two beginners!

I started playing tennis in Haiti at the age of two. As a junior player, I participated in and won numerous tournaments. During my four years at Brockton High School, I was frequently featured in the Brockton Enterprise newspaper for my achievements. I continued my tennis career at Salem State University, winning two championships and participating in the NCAA tournaments twice. My accolades include being a 4-time First Team All-Conference honoree, and I am currently among the top 10 players with the most games won in Salem State history. I have been coaching for three years, working with players of all levels.

"Knew exactly what I needed to work on and set up specific drills to work on it.

I started playing tennis when I was 8 years old in Brazil. I got to #12 in the country U16 and #800 in the world U18. I later played at UAB (D1 college) where I was the captain of the tennis team. During the summers I would teach large groups from all ages and private lessons as well. I love to be able to teach someone the proper technique to maximize their potential and I care a lot about my students. I have experience in clay and hard courts and I would say my style of play is lots of spin, consistency, energy, and focus on the serve. Please feel free to reach out with any questions you might have.

"Honestly, I felt like I made progress with Giovani's lesson since I’m actually seeing more techniques coming together .

She is RSPA/USPTA CERTIFIED NewTennis Player and USTA SafeSport Certified Coach. Wheelchair Accessible Coach.

She focuses on fun drills with structured sessions to enable personal growth and expanding the reach of the game. Her knowledge comes from decades of playing and teaching alongside all levels of players. She is passionate about sharing the game with everyone!

"The lesson with Andie was pretty helpful, especially because the drills were customized based on my weaknesses mid drill, which I appreciated. Though I still need more practice to feel really confident, I think repeating this kind of tailored approach could make a difference. Still, I’d be open to trying another lesson to see how much I can improve with her guidance.

With 45 years devoted to tennis, I blend college coaching experience with personalized instruction. My passion is fostering skill development, sportsmanship, and a lifelong love for the game.
