I've studied the game thoroughly and still do, my teaching skills are always evolving. I see how you play and immediately know how to make you play, rally and have fun with tennis. A sport of a lifetime. I also manage junior high performance groups. I have a lot of drills and games to make your learning experience interesting and fun.

My high-performance competitive certification from Sanchez Vicario Academy provided me a great insight of the game, full of drills and modern concept strategies of understanding tennis latest advances.
