On court, I believe enthusiasm, hard-work, clear instructions and a big smile goes a long way in helping a client firstly enjoy the session, but secondly, improve. I like to set targets, short-term and long-term, but also provide flexibility in terms of lesson content in order to make sure once the hour is up, the tennis player is happy and cannot wait to get back on court.
I’ve coached at Sawbridgeworth Tennis Club, the Legends Tennis Academy and currently work at the Butterfly Tennis Club in Camberwell, while occasionally helping out at Old College LTC, too. I also teach roughly 15 clients privately, from all over London, on a weekly basis - usually at Myatt’s Fields Park.
I’m an LTA accredited coach, DBS approved and First Aid trained. As a competitive player, I won the College U18 Nationals in 2008 and trained at the prestigious Mallorca Academy.
I’ve hit balls with Rafael Nadal and Greg Rusedksi - and was actually born in Tasmania!
