“I enjoy lessons with Oliver because he brings out your best tennis with the skills you possess. He always challenges your ability to improve whether young or old.”
-Gaye D.
"I've started playing tennis again later in my adult life, and I'm lucky to have found Oliver. He's the perfect mix between having fun to balance the stresses of work, seriously learning the basics and the game, and pushing my athletic ability to improve conditioning. I look forward to my weekly lesson, and I recognize that perhaps his greatest gift is the confidence that I've gained within 6 short months. Matches are nearly on the horizon; I can't wait!"
