Steven S. (Testimonial)

Been playing tennis since I was young, but slowed down after highschool. I was very rusty, and played with wildly old-school techniques that my last long-term instructor instilled in me… I was looking to find someone that could work with me to improve my game/footwork, correct my form, and give me a solid workout. A lot of other instructors I’ve seen have a tendency to over-correct their student on a first lesson, under pressure to make it “worth while” for them. This usually makes it equally/more stressful on a student. But Mikele gave me an extremely effective and stress free first lesson. Prices may seem high at first glance, but these rates are realistically competitive with other pros *at this level* in LA (I hate to be basic, but you get what you pay for). He improved my game so much in just one lesson with a teaching style that could accommodate everyone from beginners to pros (in my opinion). I will definitely be returning to work with him as much as I can

Mikele is a great coach! My wife and I always wanted to learn how to play tennis together and he has made every lesson fun while also instructing the technicality it takes to play tennis well. Highly recommended and we will continue

Cheryl E. (Testimonial)

Mike is instructing my 7 and 14 year old grandchildren They both have shown significant improvements in their ability to play and respond well to Mike’s teaching techniques. They both look forward to their lessons and value Mike as a teacher.. He arrives promptly to each lesson and manages to engage them each for the entire time. I am extremely pleased .

Absolutely a great tennis coach! My husband place within three times a week. He’s always professional on-time had an excellent player. Highly recommend.

Mark M. (Testimonial)

Mike's great. You can tell that he played with and taught pros based on his shots and directions. He starts with foundational motions, using imagery to allow for adjustments and enough room to get creative. He's got a great pace, allowing you to learn several shots/adjustments in each lesson.

Mingman S. (Testimonial)

Coach Mike is professional, responsive, punctual and just a great coach overall. My brother who's a little better than intermediate level started taking lessons with Coach Mike and has been doing as frequently as 3 lessons a week (btw coach's rate is great value too). I see my brother increase his accuracies by fixing his postures. It made me want to play tennis again just watching my brother train with coach Mike (and I do not even like to sweat). High recommended.

Cassandra M. (Testimonial)

I came into lessons as a tennis novice and Mikele has been an excellent highly technical, fun and patient coach! Highly recommend if you are looking to improve your skills in a serious way or just looking to expand your active hobbies.

Dylan T. (Testimonial)

Mike is an excellent coach. Super passionate about tennis and insanely knowledgeable about technique. He's been great about breaking down my swing and he's already getting me out of years-long bad habits. Great dude and makes lessons very efficient but fun!
