Dennis Turcotte
Pickleball Coach in Saint Johns, Florida
I’m a 4.1 DUPR player, and what makes me a great coach is that I keep it fun 🤩! If you’re not having fun, you won’t want to play. With me, lessons are fun, safe, and focused on helping you grow—both on and maybe even off the court. I enjoy working with players of all ages and skill levels, but I specialize in helping new and entry-level players (2.5–3.0) build confidence and fall in love with the game.

“If you are looking for a pickleball coach who is professional, kind, patient and with strong pickleball skills, you don’t need to look any further. I highly recommend Dennis from TeachMe. Before working with Coach Dennis, my kitchen dinking skill and groundstrokes were poor and inconsistent. I struggled with understanding court strategy. Thanks Dennis’s guidances and specific drills, I've improved my forehand and backhand techniques especially in the kitchen zone. I feel much more confident in game situations. I really appreciated Dennis ‘s patient teaching style and ability to break down complex strategies into simple, actionable steps. Dennis was always prepared and made every session fun and engaging. I highly recommend Dennis to any beginner to intermediate plus level players who is looking to elevate their skills and game! Chloe”

My first lesson with Dennis turned out pretty good. He’s friendly, really patient, and clearly knows what he's doing, focused on serving and playing, which I appreciated. I still have work to do on foot and arm positions and holding the racket, but I’m optimistic about building on that. Dennis and I also hit it off talking about the Acura Integra, which was a fun bonus. If you're aiming to sharpen specific skills, I’d say definitely give Dennis a try.

Wow, Dennis really helped me tap into my best playing ability again, and his teaching style is something I think more people should experience. Though I still have areas to develop, I feel confident about where I’m headed. Still, I’m hoping to keep building on what we’ve covered so far. His approach seems to set a solid foundation. If you're looking for a focused pickleball lesson that’s both practical and encouraging, I’d say give Dennis a try.

I found Dennis's lesson to have lots of great instructions, which I appreciated quite a bit. Though I still have some work to do on my consistency, I think the detailed guidance really helps me focus on specific skills. It's still pretty helpful to see a clear path forward, and I’ll definitely keep practicing what I learned. If you're looking to refine particular aspects of your pickleball game, you might want to give him a try.

The lesson with Dennis was quite good, especially in making the use of time efficient. He managed to cover quite a bit without rushing, which I appreciated.

Honestly, I was pretty impressed with Dennis. He made the lesson enjoyable and I feel like I really made progress, especially in how I serve. Still, I hope to 'forget' some bad habits and improve even more in the next lesson. If you're looking to elevate your game, Dennis is the man.
