"Awesome coach! Very patient and gives clear instructions. Was very happy with my first lesson!

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 advice on groundstroke mechanics!

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!

"Great instructions, clear goals, and enthusiastic coach!

I fell in love with tennis at age 10 or 11. It quickly became the thing I cared most about for the better part of my life. It is a sport for a lifetime, and it will always be my first love. I started teaching tennis in 2011 after earning my teaching certification with the Professional Tennis Registry (PTR). It’s always fun to introduce a new player to this game or to work with a player who is passionate about tennis and wants to learn more. I look forward to meeting new students and sharing my passion for tennis with them.

"What really stood out during the lesson was Cate’s patience and excellent teaching style with my son. The session was well-paced and clear, making it easy for him to follow along. I’d recommend Cate’s lessons to anyone looking to improve their tennis skills in a supportive environment. Looking forward to more great sessions ahead! 🎾

Fueling a love for tennis one swing at a time, I've spent 13 years coaching players of all levels. My experience as a competitive college athlete informs my approach, blending strategic technique with personalized motivation. I aim to cultivate not just skilled players, but passionate ones.

"That lesson sparked real momentum, Nadim’s guidance clicked fast and the drills flowed. Nadim is amazing, and I’m looking forward to mixing forehand and backhand to sharpen my game.

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.

"The lesson with Mahmoud was quite helpful, especially since my rallying is improving and I finally got a good grip on my backhand. Still, I think I could work on maintaining longer rallies and better timing, though I’m feeling more confident about consistency.

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.
