Level: Beginner•Lessons taken: 25•Verified ✓
He’s an amazing coach. He gave me precise feedback and kept checking in to see if I was understanding everything or had questions, which was quite helpful. Richard’s approach to tennis instruction really stood out, especially in how he tailored his guidance to my needs. Still, I look forward to building on this foundation in future lessons. If you want someone who’s attentive and genuinely focused on your progress, Richard’s worth trying out. He’s great!

Honestly, Richard’s lesson was quite good. He was really attentive, and I left feeling I’d gained some practical tips I didn’t have before. Though I still need to work on consistency, the lesson highlighted some useful aspects that I’ll focus on. That lesson, yeah, it had a meaningful impact without feeling rushed. If you’re looking for a measured approach from someone who clearly knows their stuff, Richard’s worth considering.

Richard has been an awesome coach for me. I used to play tennis competitively but hadn’t picked up a racket in 10 years and he’s been so helpful in not just helping get me get back into playing but actually changing my mechanics to make me a better player. Great coach

First time playing as a couple - we had different things to work on and Richard effectively tackled each simultaneously. We enjoyed the time with him, his demeanor, and 100% felt like we left with improved fundamentals. Highly recommend
