The lesson with Alvin really hit the mark, especially since we focused on improving my serve accuracy and game strategy. There was a clear emphasis on positioning, which I hadn't considered deeply before. I still need to work on my volleys, but I left feeling quite encouraged to practice those spots. Still, I think future lessons could benefit from more drills targeting footwork. Overall, I’d say Alvin has a calm, effective teaching style that makes learning feel natural. Definitely worth trying out if you're aiming to sharpen your pickleball skills.

The lesson had a really good ratio of application versus instruction, which I found quite helpful. I look forward to more consistent return serve placement and skill development under Alvin’s coaching…his approach is quite effective. I’m optimistic about improving further and have asked for 2 lessons a week for up to 4 weeks and see where I am at that point. Alvin is also encouraging and light hearted. Great tweak and refine! Thank you Alvin!

The lesson was really great, actually. I appreciated the focused approach and how well James explained nuances of pickleball, which helped me understand my game better. Still, I think with a bit more emphasis on certain techniques, it could be even better. Anyway, I’m hopeful that future lessons will continue to sharpen my skills, and I’d say you should consider trying James if you want someone who knows their stuff.

I'm glad I booked a lesson with Alvin because his approach was quite helpful. I particularly appreciated how he focused on my groundstrokes, which needed some fine-tuning. Although I still need to work on consistent placement, I’m hopeful my next lesson will build on what we covered. Anyway, if you're interested in improving your pickleball game with a thoughtful instructor, you might want to give Alvin a try.

I’d say the lesson was quite helpful, especially since we focused on control. Though I still have some room to improve, I’m hopeful that more guided drills will help me hold steady and enhance my consistency. Alvin's approach was steady, and I think a bit more practice will really solidify what we covered. Still, it’s definitely worth trying him out if you’re aiming to sharpen your control on the court.

This was my second pickleball training session with Alvin and honestly, I appreciated how he was patient and really helpful throughout. The drills with other players made it quite fun and I feel like I learned useful techniques, especially from the lesson highlight. Though there’s still room to improve, I think Alvin’s teaching style suits me well and I might keep going with more lessons.
