My name is Rodrigo Perez, and I’m from Santiago, Chile. My journey in tennis began on the ITF Junior Tour, where I achieved a highest ranking of 1,206 out of 10,000 players. Competing across ten countries, I showcased my dedication to the sport, forming lasting friendships and valuable connections along the way. My junior career culminated in Dubai, where I competed in my final two ITF tournaments. These performances caught the attention of Wagner College, a prestigious Division 1 school in the United States, which offered me an academic and athletic scholarship. This opportunity allowed me to further develop both on and off the court. Under the mentorship of Fernando Gonzalez, a former world #5 tennis player with fourteen titles to his name, including an Olympic gold medal, I received invaluable coaching. This experience, alongside training with Nicolás Jarry, currently ranked world #20, has shaped my skills and mindset in tennis. My journey is a testament to hard work, perseverance, and a deep passion for the sport. Now at Stanford University, I look forward to inspiring and sharing my knowledge with the next generation of tennis players, continuing to grow both as a player and a coach.

The Power of Private Tennis Lessons
7 min read
Tennis is one of the most popular sports in the world with over 23.8 million players in the United States. Playing the sport requires a combination of physical strength, mental focus, and strategy. Whether you want to compete at a high level or simply enjoy tennis recreationally, improving your skills requires time and effort. So, if you're just getting started playing and you’re serious about becoming a better player, beginner tennis lessons are the most effective way to level up your game. Or, even if you're an experienced player, tennis lessons are a great way to improve. An expert tennis coach shares personalized training that helps players improve at all skill levels. In this post, we’ll explore what private tennis lessons are, the many benefits they offer, and share tips on how to get the most out of your sessions.Private tennis lessons usually consist of one-on-one instruction, with a coach focusing solely on one tennis player. However, small group lessons are also an option, usually involving two to four players working with one coach. These group “private” lessons are often more affordable while still providing targeted guidance and personalized feedback. TeachMe.To offers flexible formats to match your schedule and goals. Just visit our tennis lessons near me page found her to connect with an expert tennis coach today. Private coaching lessons help individuals focus on specific areas that need improvement. During your first lesson, your coach will start assessing your strengths to develop a unique playing style that makes the player more formidable on the court. For example, a coach might notice that you need some help with serving, footwork, or court awareness.Another benefit of private lessons is that you are able to learn at your own pace. In group classes, players often have to keep up with the pace of the rest of the class, which may feel too fast or too slow. With private instruction, you can go at a speed that suits your learning style and is relative to current skill set. Whether you want to spend extra time mastering basic techniques or if you're ready to dive into advanced strategies, the pace is entirely up to you. This personalized approach ensures you make steady progress without feeling rushed or held back by others.Private tennis lessons are also valuable when preparing for tournaments. A coach can design training sessions specifically around your competition schedule, fine-tuning techniques and focusing on strategies based on past performances. They can help you mentally prepare for high-pressure situations, giving you the confidence needed to perform your best under challenging conditions. Proper preparation through private lessons can make all the difference between winning and losing in a competitive match.In addition to improving your skills, private lessons focus heavily on safe techniques to reduce the risk of injury. Tennis places significant stress on joints and muscles, so learning proper form is essential for avoiding any long-term injuries. A coach will teach you the correct movements to keep your body healthy, ensuring that you can continue to play the sport you love for years to come. Another major advantage of private lessons is the undivided attention you receive from your coach. In group settings, it’s easy for players to get overlooked, but one-on-one lessons guarantee that every moment is spent focused on your improvement. A coach can give you detailed feedback, analyze your technique in real time, and make immediate adjustments to enhance your performance. Private lessons typically last between 30 to 60 minutes, depending on a player's goals, skill level, and preferences. Shorter sessions may be ideal for beginner tennis lessons, while more advanced players often prefer longer lessons to dive deeper into techniques and strategies. It’s important to discuss your goals with your coach to determine the ideal lesson length that works best for you.Consistency is key when it comes to improving in tennis. To see meaningful progress, most coaches recommend scheduling at least two private lessons per week. Repetition is crucial to master new skills and to prepare for high-pressure situations. The more often you practice, the more natural your movements become, and private lessons provide the structure needed to build these habits.Private tennis lessons can vary in price depending on the coach’s experience and location. On average, most tennis lessons average around $50 for a one hour tennis coaching lesson. To find the most recent pricing visit our tennis lessons near me page. While some players may worry about the cost, many programs offer flexible pricing options to accommodate different budgets. Group “private” lessons are another affordable alternative, providing many of the same benefits of one-on-one training while splitting the cost among a few players. Players can book for up to 3 students instantly or contact us to request a larger group. Investing in private lessons is ultimately an investment in your development as a player, helping you improve faster than you would on your ownFor the best results, private lessons should be combined with group drills or practice matches. While private lessons focus on individual skills and technique, group drills let students apply their skills in a dynamic setting with other players. Many athletes find that scheduling one or two private lessons each week, along with one or two group drills, creates a balanced practice routine that accelerates skill development. This combination offers the best of both worlds—personalized attention and the chance to test your skills in live play.Private lessons aren’t just for high-level athletes. Players of all ages and abilities can benefit from one-on-one instruction. Beginners, in particular, gain a strong foundation by learning proper techniques right from the start. A coach can guide new players through the basics, such as footwork, grip, and shot selection, helping them avoid common mistakes. Meanwhile, more advanced players can use private lessons to fine-tune their game and polish specific areas that need improvement.In order to get the most out of your private tennis lessons, preparation is essential. Players should arrive early to warm up, stretch, and make sure you’re properly hydrated. You should also check your equipment to ensure everything is in order before your lesson begins. During the session, pay close attention to your coach’s feedback—it can be helpful to take notes or record key points to review later. Practicing the skills you’ve learned between lessons is also critical for building consistency. The more you reinforce new techniques, the more natural they will feel over time.Private tennis lessons offer a customized training experience that helps players improve faster and more effectively. Whether you’re new to the game or an experienced athlete looking to refine your technique, private lessons provide the tools and guidance you need to elevate your performance. With the right mix of dedication, practice, and coaching, you can unlock your full potential on the court. If you’re ready to take your game to the next level with a beginner tennis lesson or advanced tennis lesson, schedule a private lesson today so you can make huge strides toward your goals!

The great thing is, anyone can play tennis and improve, even if you're just taking beginner tennis lessons! When you have a coach showing you helpful tips to improve your game, you'll learn faster and have more fun. In this post we'll discuss how much time is required to see improvement in your tennis skills, some challenges individuals taking beginner tennis lessons may face, and helpful ways to improve your skills. On average, beginners can learn the fundamentals—like holding a racket and making basic shots—within two to three weeks. Proficiency typically develops after six to twelve months of regular practice, about three to four times a week.In the short term, after about two to three weeks, players focus on understanding grip, stance, and making consistent contact with the ball. This period introduces the basics like forehands, backhands, and serves.Within three to four months, players often develop better control, adding power, spin, and accuracy to their shots. During this stage, strategy and court awareness also begin to take shape.Becoming advanced usually takes years of dedicated effort. Refining technique, developing mental toughness, and gaining match experience are crucial for reaching high skill levels, along with regular lessons and competitive play.Some new players may find tennis challenging at first as they learn proper technique. The great news is that with steady practice, the game becomes more manageable. A survey from Tennis.com found that 75% of beginners felt significantly more confident in their abilities after just three months of lessons and practice.You don’t need to be a natural athlete to find success in tennis. Even players without strong athletic backgrounds can improve. It takes time to develop the coordination needed for smooth strokes, but muscle memory grows with repetition, making each movement feel more natural over time. Tennis is a sport anyone can enjoy, regardless of age or fitness level, if they are willing to stay committed.Tennis is also a sport for all ages. Research from the USTA shows that 44% of players are at least 35 years old which proves it’s never too late to start. While younger players may develop faster, adults can still reach a high level through regular practice. In tennis, commitment matters more than age. While it is possible to teach yourself tennis using online tutorials and videos that focus on fundamental tennis strokes, working with a tennis coach makes a noticeable difference. In fact, the American Tennis Professionals Association found that players who receive coaching improve 50% faster than those learning on their own. Coaches give personalized feedback, which helps players avoid bad habits and refine their technique.Playing tennis offers a variety of physical, mental, and social benefits. On the physical side, tennis provides a full-body workout that enhances cardiovascular fitness, strength, and endurance. A recent study found that playing tennis for just 90 minutes a week can reduce the risk of heart disease by 56%.

Just go to this tennis lessons near me page here to find a coach in your area. Structured beginner tennis lessons as well as advanced tennis lessons can introduce you to different playing styles and strategies. When starting out, it’s important to focus on the fundamentals. Begin by working on the feel of your strokes, aiming for precision and control on a smaller court before transitioning to full-court play. This approach helps you build a solid foundation. Learning to time your shots properly is also crucial. Studies show that practicing on smaller courts improves hand-eye coordination, which translates into better performance during full-court matches. Lastly, consistency is another key to improvement. Regular practice, about four to five times a week, leads to faster progress. In addition to practice, watching professional matches can provide valuable insights. Observing strategies, techniques, and shot placement from top players can enhance your understanding of the game.
