I am always encouraging and dedicated to helping my students be their best. I celebrate their progress and thoughtfully address areas of challenge, striving to make each lesson both educational and enjoyable. As a USTA and WTT Adult League national champion with 20 years of coaching experience, I have coached many USTA adult players. I am PTR Certified and primarily focus on beginners and intermediates. My patient and tolerant approach ensures a low-stress, supportive learning environment.
"Jerry is encouraging and focuses on the fundamentals. He gives a few instructions to focus on rather than overloading you with too much.
I’ve been playing tennis for 17 years and still love helping people learn and grow in the game. As a former Division 1 college player at Saint Louis University, I bring a strong understanding of technique, strategy, and focus—but I always keep things fun and easy to follow. I’ve worked with all ages and skill levels, including at summer camps, and I make sure each session fits your pace and goals. Whether you’re brand new or want to improve, I’m here to help you enjoy the game and feel more confident on the court
"Honestly, Fiorella's lesson was quite helpful, especially with her focus on fundamentals. Although I think I still need to work on my footwork, her guidance created a solid foundation to build on. Still, I’m hopeful about future lessons and looking forward to seeing how my game improves. If you’re interested in a measured, supportive approach, you might want to give Fiorella a try.

Fueling a passion for tennis for over 14 years, I've honed my expertise from the ground up, playing as a D1 athlete. My coaching style blends strategic fundamentals with a fun, engaging approach to elevate your game.
