Every girl of high school age that I teach made their varsity team Fall 2011!

I am very patient, never yell, but want you to reach all of your tennis goals. I am more than happy to talk to you about your game off the court---not just during your one hour lesson.



You are constantly moving during your lesson, not standing still hitting balls. I teach you the right way to play tennis, which isn't always the easy way!!!! You will learn every part of the game---swing, footwork, eyework, and strategy.



Rate is $475 for a 10 lesson package, $250 for a 5 lesson package.

I will be teaching outdoor tennis lessons at courts in Clifton, Montclair, Verona, and West Orange. All nighttime lessons will be taught in West Orange, since those courts are lighted. Even though the courts are located in Essex/Passaic counties, they are all between 15-25 minutes from Hoboken, Jersey City, Bergen, and Morris counties
