Student Testimonials
Our 10-year-old had been taking tennis lessons with different coaches for 1+ years, but it wasn’t until we met Gina that we really started to see progress and improvement, and probably most importantly, genuine interest from our child in the sport itself. Gina’s approach with kids is focused without taking away the fun, which for us is essential in keeping our kid engaged. We’re always impressed with Gina’s keen eye on the court, whether it’s reminders about the grip, the feet, or where the eyes should be looking, even we’re left wondering half the time, “how did she see that?!”

Our teenage children have been learning from her for nearly three years, on and off, whenever she has been available.
Gina is an exceptional tennis coach who provides highly individualized instruction tailored to each student’s unique strengths and areas for improvement. Unlike many coaches who follow a standard routine, she takes a hands-on approach—standing beside her players, demonstrating techniques, and offering precise direction to help them reach their full potential.
Her deep understanding of each athlete allows her to deliver targeted feedback while maintaining an encouraging and energetic atmosphere. Gina’s ability to combine technical expertise with genuine motivation distinguishes her from other coaches. She is truly a rare talent in the tennis community, and any player would be fortunate to train under her guidance.

Gina has been coaching my daughter for five years. She is fantastic with kids of all experience levels. During this time, she has taught proper technique through each skill level. Gina does the impossible; she makes the lessons fun and exciting without neglecting or sacrificing proper form and technique. It has been a joy to watch my daughter improve over the years. It's clear to see the impact of the lessons when she is able to keep up and compete with kids that are older and more experienced than her on the court.

My 16 year old son has been taking lessons with Gina since he was 10. She has built him up to an outstanding intermediate player. She always works on areas that need improvement, is supportive, encouraging, helpful; just a great coach. Ben wouldn’t have reached the heights he has if not for Gina’s coaching.

My name is Vanessa. I’m in my early 50s and started playing tennis about five years ago. I currently play USTA matches at the 3.0 and 3.5 levels. I’ve been working with Gina for a little over four months, and the transformation in my game has been incredible.
Gina focuses on technique in a way no other coach I’ve worked with has — and I’ve worked with several. She completely rebuilt my forehand, and it’s now consistent, powerful, and finally has real spin. You do need to be patient when working with Gina, because true technical changes take time, but the results are absolutely worth it.
She’s also incredibly encouraging and genuinely fun to work with. I can’t recommend her highly enough.

My name is McKenzie, and I’m an intermediate tennis player. I’ve been taking lessons with you for a few months here and there over the past few years, and the improvement in my technique and confidence has been huge. My serve is more consistent, my groundstrokes feel stronger, and I’ve learned how to make smarter decisions during points. You break things down clearly and always know how to push me without overwhelming me.
