Hello, I'm John Philip, originally from The Caribbean. I hold a master's degree in accounting from college. For over 35 years, I've dedicated myself to teaching tennis professionally, earning certification as a USPTR Professional 1. My experience spans across all age groups, where I've fostered a passion for tennis and skill development in countless students.
"Nice start today, the lesson kept things clear and attentive, and I appreciated the focus on explanations over endless drills. My daughter loved how you explained everything and did drills with her. There’s room for more practice, so I’m keen to build on this momentum next time. If you’re up for it, I’d be glad to continue.

"Bryan was great at teaching to two different skill levels in the same lesson. He made a new sport very approachable to one, and helped bring a former player back into the groove. He taught at a great pace, and overall made the experience fun and enjoyable.
