Osula L.Verified ✓
Level: Intermediate•Lessons taken: 1•Verified ✓
Cori's lesson was quite centered on how I was actually getting it, and I appreciated that she adjusted her approach and slowed down when I wasn't quite there yet. The feedback she kept giving me about what I should focus on during my shots, especially with breaking each step down further, was pretty helpful. Though I still need to put in more reps, I think her method is exactly what I need to improve my game. If you're looking for someone who genuinely adapts to your pace and helps you see progress, Cori might be worth trying.

We had a great lesson with Amit! He was very responsive in setting up our lesson time. It was our first lesson but we aren’t new to racquet sports—we needed to be quick learners for pickleball because we were playing in a tournament for the first time the next day! He was knowledgeable on all the rules and explained them very well to us. He covered all the important drills with us to set us up for success! We had a great time and he made the lesson super fun! Thank you Amit! Highly recommend A+++!

Cori coached my two friends and me for 3 sessions. Cori let us know in advance that her usual teaching courts would be busy during our preferred time, and she was flexible to come to courts near us. She paid attention to each of our strengths and weaknesses, and provided individual comments and assessments. She drilled down into specific skills and provided drills we could use to improve our play. Also, Cori gave good reminders of basic skills as we played.

Level: Intermediate•Lessons taken: 1•Verified ✓
Cori’s lesson really stood out because she immediately pointed out areas I could improve on, which is pretty helpful. Though I need to work on my backhand dinks on the left side, her ability to catch those details quickly was noticeable. Still, I feel like a follow-up could help me develop better there. If you're looking for focused feedback, I’d say try Cori's lessons.

Cori treated my partner and I with the utmost professionalism, patience and respect. She definitely puts in the time and effort to let each of us do better with each shot. As first timers, Cori did an amazing job teaching my partner and I the main fundamentals of pickle ball. I’d strongly recommend her to anyone who is willing to learn this up and coming sport.

What stood out in Gianmarco’s lesson was his friendly approach, which made learning enjoyable. The session was well-paced and welcoming, perfect for anyone looking to improve their pickleball game. If you want a positive and supportive environment to develop your skills, give his lessons a try. You’ll appreciate the great energy and clear guidance throughout. 🙂

Level: Intermediate•Lessons taken: 6•Verified ✓
Honestly, I really appreciated how Gianmarco focused on specific pickleball strategies during the lesson, which helped me better understand shot placement and movement. Still, I think I could use a bit more work on my dink but I’m hopeful the next lesson will clarify that. If you’re into pickleball and want to improve, I’d say it’s worth giving him a try.

A friend and I had a beginners’ lesson with Cori. She taught us great fundamentals to get us started on a fun way to stay active. She’s patient and thorough. We definitely will do a follow-up lesson once we get the hang of it to hone our skills. Excellent instruction and highly recommended.

Cori is an ultimate pro, in her straightforward coaching style, being prompt and prepared, and clear in her communication. She has great knowledge of the sport, and is patient yet firm with beginners. We’re loving our sessions with Cori and know she’ll make us into skilled players.
