    "We have greatly enjoyed our lessons with Matt. He has helped us grow in all parts of the game with varied drills and targeted advice. He quickly identifies areas for improvement and gives excellent insights while also making the lessons fun. We're looking forward to more lessons!"

    "10/10 would recommend Matt as tennis coach to take private lessons from! He has been one of the greatest coaches I have had in my adult tennis career. I definitely recommend him for advanced level players! (and beginners too!)"

  • I took about a 10 year hiatus from playing tennis, but Matt works with me to strengthen basic skills and reteach some outdated techniques that I learned as a kid. Each clinic is a good mix of drills, strategy building, and specific skill practice. I would recommend Matt as a coach for any level, but be warned that tennis is an addictive hobby.

  • A first-time tennis player here. I took several private and group classes with Matt as my instructor and they all were great learning sessions as well as super fun! He is a wonderful instructor and provides useful insight during all sessions to help his students improve their technique and enjoy the game of tennis. He is very responsive and flexible in scheduling & is also super fun and easy to talk to! I recommend his classes to anyone and recommended him to all my friends and family!

  • As an adult, I decided to pick up tennis last year. I started going to Matt’s clinics and his knowledge and expertise was wonderful. I decided to do private lessons so that I could focus on my weak areas. Matt’s explanations and modeling of tennis form are great. Not only is he patient to explain, but he is also quick to do a small correction to help your game even more. After months with Matt, I am prepared enough to join USTA league play as a beginner! Matt has now catered our lessons for match play. His ability to adapt and change with you is incredible. From where I started to where I am now (and hope to go to) has been in result to working with Matt. As an adult, it can be intimidating to start a new sport. However, with Matt’s lessons and guidance, I am comfortable playing with other players and truly enjoying the game of tennis! 100/10 recommend!
