How it works

What you need to bringTo prepare for your tennis lesson, ensure you are well-hydrated by drinking plenty of water throughout the day and eat a light meal or snack about an hour before. Wear comfortable athletic clothing and proper tennis shoes, and check that your racket is in good condition. Pack essentials such as a water bottle, towel, and any personal items like a hat or sunscreen. Do some light stretching or a brisk walk to start warming up your muscles before arriving at the court. Something else I like to suggest is to mentally review any notes from previous lessons and set specific goals for the session to maximize your training.

What I can bringI will provide all necessary equipment for your tennis lessons, including tennis balls, court accessories, and any additional training tools. You only need to bring your personal gear and attire. If you don't have a racket, I can lend you one for the first few classes and assist you in finding a suitable racket that matches your skill level.

The lesson was quite helpful. Joshua's guidance really focused on the fundamentals, though I think it'd be good to spend a bit more time on footwork next time.

Honestly, Joshua's lesson really stood out. I especially liked how he emphasized footwork drills that made a noticeable difference. Though I still need to work on my serve consistency, the way he broke down the technique was quite helpful, and I’m optimistic about making further progress. If you’re looking to fine-tune your game, it’s worth trying one of his lessons.
