Dylan identified exactly what was holding me back in the first session. My contact point on the forehand and my footwork recovery — and we spent the following weeks systematically fixing both. He's incredibly precise in his feedback and doesn't just throw drills at you randomly. There's a clear plan and you can feel yourself improving week to week." > From Sarah, 5 out of 5 > "Dylan coached my son for several months while we were living in Tokyo and the experience was exceptional. Coming from an elite Japanese training background himself, he understood the discipline and precision we valued, while also bringing a warmth and encouragement that kept my son motivated. His technical knowledge is serious, this is not a casual coach. My son is now competing at the prefectural level. We are deeply grateful." > From Kenji, 5 out of 5 > "My daughter plays USTA tournaments and we were looking for someone who could take her to the next level technically without rebuilding her from scratch. Dylan assessed her in one session and identified two things previous coaches had missed entirely. He's clearly trained at a high level himself and that shows. He doesn't guess, he knows. In just a few months she's already winning matches she would have lost before.” > From Craig, 5 out of 5 > "I'll keep this short because I'm not a review-writing guy. Dylan is the best coach I've worked with in 15 years of playing. He gets what you're trying to do as a player and builds around it instead of trying to turn you into someone else. Even in the sessions we had together the tactical drilling genuinely changed how I think on the court. I'm a better competitor because of him, not just a better hitter." > From Derek, 5 out of 5 > "We signed our daughter up with Dylan not really knowing what to expect. She'd tried a group clinic before and hated it. Within three lessons she was asking to practice in the driveway. Dylan has this way of making everything feel like a game without the kids even realizing they're learning. He's patient but he doesn't baby them either. Worth every penny." > From Margaret, 5 out of 5 > Truly excellent coach, diagnosed my bad habits on day one and started correcting them. Would highly recommend > From Evan, 5 out of 5 > Overall good first lesson. Mix of technical and drills and useful feedback on technique > From Petko, 5 out of 5 > Forehand technique, foot work drills and serve > From Jacopo, 5 out of 5 ## Pages on this site - [Home](https://sites.coach/dylan-law-smith/index.md) - [All services](https://sites.coach/dylan-law-smith/services/index.md) - [Tennis Lessons](https://sites.coach/dylan-law-smith/lessons) - [Private Lessons](https://sites.coach/dylan-law-smith/private-lessons/index.md) - [Lessons in Berkeley](https://sites.coach/dylan-law-smith/areas/berkeley) - [Cedar Rose Park Tennis Courts, Berkeley](https://sites.coach/dylan-law-smith/locations/cedar-rose-park-tennis-courts-berkeley) - [Grove Park, Berkeley](https://sites.coach/dylan-law-smith/locations/grove-park-berkeley) - [Live Oak Park - Shattuck Avenue, Berkeley](https://sites.coach/dylan-law-smith/locations/live-oak-park-shattuck-avenue-berkeley) - [Willard Park Tennis Courts, Berkeley](https://sites.coach/dylan-law-smith/locations/willard-park-tennis-courts-berkeley-a201bd) - [Willard Park Tennis Courts, Berkeley](https://sites.coach/dylan-law-smith/locations/willard-park-tennis-courts-berkeley-e5cbbf) - [Agent instructions](https://sites.coach/dylan-law-smith/llms.txt) ## Book through the API Dylan Law-Smith sells Tennis lessons on this site.
