About Rex
a longtime, award-winning tennis program for all ages & skill levels that is being run remotely in the interim: more info at (concealed information)
* 25+ years in the industry as a PTR & USPTA-certified tennis-teaching professional
* former president of Dallas Professional Tennis Association, past recipient of DTA Pro Volunteer Award, etc.
email (concealed information) for more info on junior or adult programs (private and/or group lessons)
I have a pragmatic approach to teaching: I enjoy helping students achieve the proverbial 'AHA!' moment through positive reinforcement, while implementing easy-to-understand stroke technique corrections and/or executable match-playing tactics
I started teaching part-time as a summer job while in school, but it morphed into a career once I realized I had the ability to help others enjoy a lifelong sport that's given so much to me!
* longtime Director / Head Tennis Professional at a former U.S.Tennis Association Facility Of The Year award winner
* certified by both Professional Tennis Registry & U.S. Professional Tennis Association
* 25+ years in the tennis-teaching business, 15+ years as a volunteer/advocate of the sport at the local & state levels

About the lesson
- All Levels
- English
All languages in which the lesson is available :
English
a] ask what previous formal tennis experience (lessons, leagues, etc.) the student has had before
b] find if they're interested in group and/or private lessons
c] (once on-court) assess their learning style (visual, audible, kinesthetic) & personality type, then adjust lesson accordingly
all ages & levels: both juniors & adults, from beginners to tournament-level players
* don't focus on someone's playing credentials-- great players don't always make the best teachers
* verify that your tennis pro of choice is PTR ((concealed information) and/or USPTA-certified ((concealed information) don't just take their word for it!
* if they're not certified for some reason, ask to see their liability insurance for teaching tennis (too many reasons to mention here)-- if they can't provide, they're not as 'professional' as you think... you're welcome
25+ years into teaching tennis, it still never feels like I'm working when I see the joy a student has during their 'AHA!' moment:
* a less-skilled player finally being to execute a new stroke technique
* a more-experienced competitor finally realizing why we reinforce a particular match-playing tactic
A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
* ask the teacher what their learning style (visual, audible, kinesthetic) is-- if it matches yours, you're more likely to understand each other
* ask if a pro prefers to teach group or private lessons, and why; then ask what the benefit is of learning the other way (i.e. the answer they didn't choose)
* ask how they would feel if you took lessons from both them & another instructor-- if they're really interested in your well-being, they would welcome another voice/style to complement theirs to ultimately help you improve; if they're selfish & don't really care what you think, they'll want you to have an exclusive on-court relationship with them
