“I started lessons with Sergio as a total beginner, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better coach. He’s super patient, explains things clearly, and makes every lesson fun and encouraging. In just a few weeks, I went from barely knowing how to hold a racket to actually rallying and playing games confidently. He tailors the lessons to your level but also pushes you just enough to improve each time. I always leave the court feeling motivated and excited for the next session. Highly recommend!”
