Albie
Coach Ellie has been incredible for my son who had never picked up a racquet before. She makes learning fun while still teaching proper technique from day one. His confidence has grown so much, and now he actually asks to practice at home. The progress in just a few weeks has been amazing.
Grace
My daughter competes at a high level, and Coach Ellie immediately elevated her game. The attention to footwork, match strategy, and decision-making is on another level compared to previous coaches. Ellie understands competitive tennis and pushes athletes in a way that builds both skill and mental toughness.
Kamy
As someone who started tennis later in life, I was honestly nervous stepping onto the court, but Coach Ellie made the entire experience comfortable and enjoyable. She breaks skills down in a way that actually makes sense, and I’ve improved more in a few lessons than I expected in months.
Janine
I had zero tennis experience before working with Coach Ellie. She’s patient, encouraging, and knows exactly how to build confidence while still challenging you. Every lesson feels structured but fun, and I finally feel like I understand the game instead of just hitting the ball around.
James
Coach Ellie works with my son who plays tournament tennis, and the improvement in his movement and point construction has been noticeable almost immediately. Her Division 1 playing experience really shows β€” sessions are intense, structured, and purposeful. She knows exactly how to prepare players for real match situations.

Beginner training plan
Your first lessonThe first lesson focuses on building confidence and comfort on court. I introduce basic grips, athletic positioning, and simple rally skills while keeping movement and success the priority. Players learn how to make clean contact, control direction, and understand court layout through fun, achievable drills rather than technical overload.
Lesson 11+Remaining lessons focus on developing a complete player. Training becomes more personalized based on strengths and goals, emphasizing consistency under pressure, strategy, shot selection, and competitive play. Players gain the skills and confidence needed to rally, serve, and compete independently.
Lesson 4-10During this phase, players transition from learning strokes to learning how to play. We refine technique, improve directional control, introduce net play and returns, and develop court positioning. Live-ball drills and structured point play are added to build confidence, decision-making, and match awareness.
Lesson 2-3Lessons two and three develop consistency and movement. Players begin rallying with purpose while improving forehand and backhand fundamentals, footwork patterns, and timing. We introduce serving basics and cooperative drills that help players sustain rallies and start understanding point construction.

Advanced training plan
Your first lessonThe first session evaluates technical efficiency, movement patterns, and tactical decision-making under pressure. I assess stroke mechanics, shot tolerance, point construction, and competitive habits to identify performance gaps. Training immediately focuses on optimizing strengths while addressing areas limiting match performance.
Lesson 11+Ongoing lessons become fully individualized and performance-driven. Training targets match strategy, mental toughness, point management, and adapting tactics against different opponents. Sessions simulate competitive environments to maximize consistency, confidence, and tournament-level execution.
Lesson 4-10This phase focuses heavily on tactical development and pressure training. Players train patterns of play, offensive and defensive transitions, serve plus one combinations, and return strategies. Live-ball competition, movement intensity, and decision-making drills are designed to improve performance during competitive match play.
Lesson 2-3Lessons two and three emphasize refinement and efficiency. Players work on shot quality, spin variation, directional control, and improved footwork efficiency. High-tempo drilling and situational points are introduced to improve consistency, transition play, and execution during realistic match scenarios.

Youth players
Working with kidsWhen coaching kids, lessons are built around fun, movement, and confidence first. I use age-appropriate equipment, engaging games, and short activity rotations to keep attention high while developing coordination, balance, and fundamental tennis skills. The focus is on creating a positive environment where kids enjoy learning, build athletic foundations, and develop a lifelong love for the sport.

Working with teenagersWith teenagers, lessons become more structured and goal-oriented while still maintaining enjoyment. Training focuses on technical development, match strategy, movement efficiency, and competitive mindset. I adapt sessions based on whether players are recreational or tournament-focused, helping them build confidence, discipline, and performance skills both on and off the court.
