More About Coach Peter
I have taught for 23 years and am certified by the PTR. Have taught three players who play Division I Tennis. I teach all levels - excellent with high-performance players. Teach under 16 USTA players who play high level tournaments. Taught a student from Europe who played at Clemson University and is on satellite currently. I have worked at many indoor tennis training facilities in the Bergen County Area and currently train players mostly advanced beginners and above.
I played all four years on Varsity in High School, made all-county each year, was Division II sectional champs at Northeastern University and County Champions in High School.
I am motivated and bring a lot of energy and knowledge to the game of tennis! I emphasize fitness, and focus on problem solving and mentally keeping my clients sound, so that when you play you are ready for anything. My first lesson is a general lesson to see where you stand. After the first lesson, the ones that follow are based on what you--the athlete--needs help or "tweaking" in. I have a strong focus on mental tennis and high-performance conditioning. I have taken many clients above and beyond their fitness and tennis goals!

Linda D. (Testimonial)
Peter is excellent! He is patient with beginners. He has taught my son so much in a short period of time!
Caroline F. (Testimonial)
We were so lucky to find Peter to coach our son. He is an honest, hard-working and talented tennis player. Also, he charges a reasonable rate (especially for this area). My son looks forward to his weekly session with Peter as he has a special rapport with teenagers. Great guy!
Michael H. (Testimonial)
My daughter just started taking lessons with Peter this summer and I already see a big improvement in her game. Another thing I like a lot about Peter is his flexibility with scheduling and his responsiveness in communication.
Wendy L. (Testimonial)
First of all Peter is always on time and he is very professional. My daughter has made quick progress and get along well with Peter!
Peter I. (Testimonial)
Peter is a teacher by profession and it definitely comes through in his instruction. He is very patient, extremely helpful and I couldn't be happier that I never started with another instructor. He has a definite rational in his teaching approach. I find that sometimes people who play a sport well are not always good at teaching that sport. Many teachers in all fields have a problem in that area, yet Peter excels in his level of teaching. I evaluate teachers all year long as part of my job description and he is a 10+!
Efrat T. (Testimonial)
I have never played tennis before but always thought it would be fun to play and the kind of sport I would like, so I started taking lessons with coach Peter for a few months now and have seen amazing improvements. He is very professional and has outstanding teaching skills, always ready to help me learn and understand different techniques and improve my tennis game. I went from not knowing how to play tennis to actually being able to rally with other people and succeed. Lessons with coach Peter are not only fun, but I can also see the tremendous improvement in my tennis game every time I go. I highly recommend coach Peter!
Vlad M. (Testimonial)
I am delighted to have this opportunity to express my gratitude and satisfaction with Peter Ohanyan as a tennis coach. He has been my tennis pro for several years now, and Peter has proven himself, time and again, as a great coach. He is highly professional, and not only regarding his ability to improve my game. He has a warm caring personality, a great sense of humor, is always finely tuned to, and watchful of, my physical condition during each of our sessions. I always look forward to our next session. I consider myself lucky to have such a coach and would recommend Peter to anyone with the utmost confidence.
Chris O. (Testimonial)
I was a High School and College tennis player several years back but unfortunately had not really picked up a racquet the last 10 years. I began working with Pete abouta year ago and he has done an amazing job getting me back to my previous level and actually surpassing that. Pete is a patient teacher and does an excellent job in training all levels of players from beginner to an advanced tournament player. Throughout my tennis career, I've had many hitting partners/coaches, etc and I would most certainly recommend Pete to anyone looking to improve their game.
Liz P. (Testimonial)
With Pete's coaching and training I was able to improve my forehand, backhand, volleys, and serve. With his help, I become a varisty tennis player my sophomore year. He conditioned me to play long matches which helped me compete against the best high school players in Bergen County.
Lynda Z. (Testimonial)
I am an intermediate tennis player, and after taking years of lessons I still couldn't serve properly. However, with one month of lessons with Peter I had no more serving problems! Thank you Peter! You are an awesome instructor!
Amir N. (Testimonial)
Peter has been coaching our 11 year old son who is at the beginner level. Peter is very patient and has a good understanding of what my son needs to learn. He works very well with younger children and combines practice with one-on-one instruction. He does not hesitate to point out a student's mistakes, but does it in a way that is not discouraging at all. He has a long teaching experience and we can already see the improvement in our son's game. We highly recommend Peter to any aspiring tennis student!
Pat T. (Testimonial)
The best tennis coach/instructor is the way I explain Pete. He has a natural and inner understanding of the game. He drills on form and placement, the two most important aspects of the game. Pete works you hard and continually advances you to the next level. He has patient with his student’s development. Pete has a wonderful sense of humor and is extremely personable while having great instruction ability, skill and tactics. Having had a private tennis coach for many years, an accident with my legs caused me to give up my most beloved sport. After many years I healed and eventually I moved to New Jersey. Desiring to get back into tennis, I looked and tried out many tennis instructors. It wasn’t until I took a lesson with Pete that I knew I found the one I wanted. If someone wants to learn to play tennis, sharpen their game, or get to the next or highest level of play, I highly recommend Pete. You’ll never look for another coach/instructor. He’s the best!
Dean C. (Testimonial)
My son is a ranked junior. He began practicing with Peter in summer of 2013. Working with Peter, my son developed all skills much easier, faster and better than at any other facility or program, including USTA Academy. His results, rankings, game strategy, shots consistency, competitiveness and confidence rose quickly and improved steadily since then. Most importantly, my son truly loves this great sport, thanks to Peter and his great approach to coaching and instructing, stimulating and motivating, listening and advising. Peter’s ability to find, fine-tune and unleash potential is fantastic. He is fostering fun, productive and supporting environment, so the hard work on court never feels as labor. Peter’s keen eye for detail can quickly diagnose and correct problems. The progress is obvious, and very rewarding. Peter has a talent to challenge student to try his best, to test, push and grow physical endurance and mental capacity, securing fundamentals. Peter uses expertise to mix and keep lessons fresh, interesting, and student sharp, engaged – key components and conditions for success. In addition, Peter is very flexible and accommodating with scheduling, and delivers lots of value in return for very affordable lessons. His friendliness and professionalism, as well as interest and dedication to student’s betterment, regardless of their abilities or ambitions, are true and genuine. My son enjoys tennis lessons with Peter so much that in 2014 Peter became his sole tennis coach and instructor. Actually, I think my son now prefers playing with Peter even more than with me. We feel very lucky and are deeply thankful to Peter for all the great work, passion, patience, and wonderful experience. We sincerely look forward to continue lessons in 2015 (and beyond)!
