Coach Joe puts in a lot of effort to make each lesson unique and productive. He teaches his students many different ways of tackling a wide range of shots so that they can manoeuvre flexibly on the court. He is also 1000% passionate about tennis and his lessons are challenging yet so fun, you wouldn't realise how much you've improved until you start playing games - and find that winning a point just became that much easier! 🙂 ~Josie (Raffles Girls Secondary School)
I have been playing tennis since I was a kid, with experienced coaches from few different countries. Joe is very good on understanding and explaining my problems and his teaching method utilises totally different and modern techniques, which corrects my errors effectively and improves my game on the court efficiently. Once I thought I would not improve much anymore on tennis, and Joe changed my mind completely. He is probably one of my best coaches I have. ~ James Lee

My 10 year old twin boys, took up private lessons with David about 6 months ago. Their tennis skills have improved tremendously and they are now much more confident in playing tournaments. David points out their weaknesses and corrects their strokes and makes them aware of their mistakes. My boys love and look forward to attend every lesson with him and are disappointed if it rains on lesson day.
David has a knack of handling kids. I am looking forward to my boys playing well enough to win tournaments under his guidance. ~ Aileen Lee

Great thanks to Coach James Kim! He is very kind and patient with my husband and me, who are total amateurs and barely have any talent in tennis😂😂 We learnt tennis months ago with another coach. The other coach is really good too, but due to schedule conflict we had to switch coaches. Because of the COVID-19, we didn’t have any chance to practice, hence we almost forgot everything we learnt and had to learn from the very start. Coach James teaches us with his professional skills and corrects our wrong movements of striking, over and over again. Thanks to him, we now have a lot of interest in playing tennis and we’re building up our confidence in playing too. Plus, he speaks English, mandarin and Korean! Recommend him to others! ~ Zoe Zhang
