"Got me a backhand

Hi! 👋🎾 Please read my entire profile. I’m currently a tennis instructor at two prominent Bay Area tennis organizations, coaching both adults and kids aged 5 to 15. Beginner Intermediate Advanced I focus on the foundations of tennis—footwork, contact points, and fundamentals—to help beginners and intermediates improve their game! 😀👍 I’m happy to do lessons once a week but if you wish to see any substantial growth in your tennis game, you may wish to meet twice or three times a week **While happy to coach until 2pm, I strongly prefer early morning lessons anytime after 6:30am. We can guarantee that courts will be open, you will not pay extra for reservations ✅ I am happy to travel to courts near you, but I am one minute from the courts in Mountain View at Whisman Park.

"The lesson went well, really, focusing on one section at a time meant Emily wasn't overwhelmed, which was quite helpful for her first time back on the court. Though I hope her forehand starts resembling her previous shape soon, I appreciated how the approach was measured and clear. Still, I think with a bit more attention there, her technique could really improve. Ryan's way of breaking things down makes a difference, if you're thinking about trying him out, I’d say he's worth considering to see how steady guidance can support your game.

Embark on a transformative tennis journey with me! As a former pro athlete with 27 years of playing experience, I'm passionate about fostering growth and igniting a love for the game in players of all levels. My coaching philosophy centers around a blend of technical refinement, tactical awareness, and mental fortitude. Let's unlock your full potential together!

"Honestly, I was pretty impressed with Alessio’s ability to quickly identify my issues and give clear guidance. I learned some key foundational things that I think will really help my tennis. Though I still need to work on my forehead positioning and troubleshoot my backhand, I feel hopeful about my progress. Definitely worth trying if you're new and struggling to improve.

With a quarter-century dedicated to the art of tennis, I cultivate both skill and a lifelong love for the game. My experience as an experienced player allows me to bring unparalleled insights to my students, from novice to advanced. I create personalized strategies that spark growth and confidence.

"The lesson with Jasmine was quite helpful. She paid close attention to my daughter’s goals and provided clear feedback. They worked on backhand and she is getting more confident. I think we’re ready for a bit more challenge in the next sessions to keep her progressing.
