Learn Tennis with Veronique

•
•

Hello everyone! My name is Veronique. I'm a USPTA certified tennis professional, and I play comfortably at a pro level with—an eclectic and unconventional style — the right players. * As a teaching pro ♣ I understand the game very well- with high match IQ). I used to dance ballet as well which helped me a lot to have a smooth and a fluid style, and a great foot work and balance. When it comes to tennis it is all about fitness, agility, stamina, endurance, mental fortitude at the critical moment of the match--- and a great technique to sustain a high level for a long period of time. About my tennis style and teaching- you will learn any style you like that fits your game, using spin and slices as well as being eclectic and /or conventional ... and how to develop a technically sound serve ( the serve in tennis is one of or the most important elements if you like to be very competitive). ♣ Teaching philosophy is-- (based around student and teacher-centered approach): I do not like to talk much during the session( I don't over/or under coach but I give you what you need to be ) Despite-- I emphasize a lot on the technique and repetitions so you can improve in the right way, while having fun. -- and after finishing the lessons, the students will have an idea on what they need to do to become good recreational players, or advanced or professional players, and what their strengths and weaknesses are... from which they will be able to diagnose their own game. ♣ Personal --I'm also multilingual-- graduate student (I have a minor, BA, MA---,(and PhD is my next goal. * I taught tennis in high school as well - private school - and all my students said that I'm the best coach they have ever had . ♣I love fitness, organic food, and my favorite sport is gymnastics which is the only complete sport and most difficult to master. Personality -*I'm very nice, caring, gentle, sincere, humble, animal lover, open minded and LGBTQ friendly,wise and patient with excellent communication skills . * N.B. My texting skills are not great, below average, so please be patient ( and understanding) when we communicate through text. I'm a real classic... Thank you and have a wonderful day and see you on court. Sincerely your, Veronique

Since learning tennis as a child, I’ve played so irregularly and casually that technique fell well by the wayside. I only thought to hit the ball back, without considering how I was hitting it. I especially had trouble with backhand and avoided serves like the plague. Veronique was brilliant at refreshing the basics, identifying and tweaking where my technique was off, as well as teaching more varied strategies I always chose to ignore (i.e. volleys). I saw drastic improvement in the first lesson alone, and have a drastically better understanding of my stroke and serves. Veronique is knowledgeable, patient, positive - and provides a refreshing motivation to play more. The smallest changes can really make all the difference. Thank you!

Veronique is a great teacher - enthusiastic and encouraging, as well as very skilled and and with a great level of attention to detail. I started my lessons with next to no previous experience, and my lessons have focused on developing my basic techniques and introduction to the game. Each lesson I feel myself improving and I really appreciate Veronique's close attention to aiming for the highest standards of style and form right from the beginning. It's great to have little drills to practice on my own and Veronique is very patient, but also makes it very fun. I really look forward to my lessons and am quickly falling in love with tennis! I'd highly recommend Veronique as a teacher!

I have really enjoyed my lessons. Veronique gives me the space I need to experiment and discover my strokes, while offering concise and clear guidance along the way. I love that I always get a lot of repetition and encouragement from in the lessons. Veronique keeps me moving, which is wonderful since I am a ballet dancer by trade. Veronique also has a dance background and uses it to help me draw connections and utilize similarities between the two forms during our lessons. I have found Veronique's knowledge in both the sports and dance extremely helpful for me to use my dance assets effectively in tennis. Discovering Veronique made MyTennisLessons worth the investment.

Veronique is an amazing professional tennis instructor. I started tennis with my boyfriend and Veronique helped us to improve a lot in the last 3 month. She offers a great tennis lesson with a constructive program. She explains the basic tennis skills in a comprehensive way, very knowledgeable on every movement, constantly watching us to catch what we can improve and keep giving feedback during the class. She is never late to the class, generously offering extra time when she can. Very kind and encouraging. We are grateful that we met Veronique. We recommend her to anyone from beginner to advanced players.

Veronique was a wonderful teacher. I was starting from scratch (never had a tennis lesson or played tennis in my life) and Veronique was not only very patient but also very knowledgeable. She was a former ballet dancer and so pays close attention to footwork and grace. I learned how to properly hold the racket, place my feet, hit the ball, and serve. I would highly recommend Veronique to anyone looking for a coach from the most inexperienced to the most experienced players. Five stars!

What you need to bringPlease tell me in advance if you have a racquet, and of course if you need recommendations for a new racquet or strings. Please bring water and your positive and happy attitude , it is the most important for self_mastery.
What I can bringI always bring balls , but for kids who are using soft balls , which is better for their wrist, I kindly ask you to bring those particular balls. And it is fine not to bring a raquet if you dont have one, I will provide it, for the first or second lesson, at San leandro location only, but for later please bring a racquet which will show your seriousness and love for the sport.
