I’ve been taking lessons from Emmanuel the last few months with my husband. We started with no experience. He has taught and helped us improve all of our tennis skills. I’d definitely recommend taking lessons with him.

The lesson with Emmanuel was quite encouraging, especially with the great in-class adjustment I appreciated. Though I still need to work on my serves and games, I feel like I've gained some useful insight. It's a solid step forward, and I look forward to applying what I learned. If you're after a measured and attentive coach, you might find Emmanuel a good fit.

I’d say the lesson with Emmanuel really hit the right note for me. The way he teaches makes complex movements quite clear, and that’s quite helpful. Though I still have some things to improve, I feel more confident in my groundstrokes now. If you're considering trying out a lesson, Emmanuel’s approach might be worth a shot.
