PasadenaWhat Students Say
Ashton
5 lessons
From Ashton: I had basically no tennis experience when I started, so I was a little nervous at first. Dora made it really easy to get comfortable on the court. We worked on the basics and did a lot of different drills, which kept the lessons fun. After a few lessons, I was able to rally much more consistently and actually felt like I knew what I was doing.
Emma
7 lessons
From Emma’s Mom: Dora was really patient and encouraging during our lessons. She always noticed small things I could fix and explained how to correct them. I especially liked that the lessons were structured but never felt stressful. I’ve become much more confident in my technique and really enjoyed working with her.

Absolutely! You’re welcome to take a lesson with a friend or family member. If both people will be participating in the lesson, please make sure to register for two people.
What happens during the first lesson?
During our first lesson, I’ll get to know you and your tennis experience, assess your current level, and learn what you want to improve. From there, we’ll work on drills and skills that fit your level and goals. Most importantly, I want you to have fun while improving!

Absolutely! No prior tennis experience is needed. I love working with beginners and will teach you the fundamentals step-by-step at a pace that’s comfortable for you.

Having your own tennis racket is preferred, but don’t worry if you don’t have one yet! I have extra rackets available that you can use during the lesson.
