About Me

Hi, my name is Nicholas and I am a PTR certified tennis instructor. I have coached for Boca Pointe Country Club, Addison Reserve Country Club and Sunrise Tennis Academy. I have also worked as a tennis instructor/hitting partner for the elite players training program at Merion Cricket Club in Haverford,PA. I have extensive experience teaching private lessons. I played college tennis for Kutztown University. I currently compete in men's open singles tournaments in the middle states (ranked as high as # 3, currently #6) and continue to train to improve my game and obtain a higher ranking. I also compete in mixed doubles USTA events, and just recently competed/qualified for mixed 8.0 and 9.0 Nationals in Tucson AZ in 2013. I was born in France and lived there for 14 years, and have dual citizenship. (France/US)

Teaching Style

I emphasize proper stroke technique, consistency and superior fitness. This translates to a lot of movement drills. I also emphasize mental strength/ability to focus as well as strategy. In a basic lesson with me, a player could expect to hit a lot of balls, both from the forehand and backhand side, some volleys/overheads and also spending some time on serves and return. I will focus on helping the student become consistent with these strokes before talking about adding power and being more aggressive.
