“My husband and I had been wanting to do tennis lessons for quite some time, both complete beginners. It was a slow start due to our work schedules and the heavy rain season this year. Mahdi has been exceptionally patient with us! As for instruction, we've been over the top happy to have found him. Always focused on technique, drills, and ensuring that we move forward in learning new skills. Super positive, punctual and enjoyable to be around. He's also great at recognizing areas that need more focus and catering to our different strengths so that we both get a full experience. Whether you're new or seasoned in the sport, we highly recommend bringing Mahdi on as your instructor!”

I've been very impressed so far with Madhi's teaching ability. I'm new to tennis and prior to lessons with Madhi had only taken a handful of lessons. Madhi is great at breaking down moves and explaining what you are doing right / wrong. I had tried out a cheaper tennis instructor in the area, but realized I needed someone more technical given I'm still trying to learn the basics. I think Madhi is worth the price, and plan on purchasing more lessons once my initial lessons are used up. Highly recommend!

Mahdi is a kind, patient, and experienced coach and I would recommend him to anyone looking to learn or improve tennis skills. He is my daughter's first tennis coach, and knows how to balance skill development with enjoyment of the sport by coming up with fun drills and games to keep her engaged. My daughter loves him and always looks forward to the next lesson. I couldn't be happier to have found him.

I made tremendous progress with my tennis skills with my 6 classes with him. He is extremely proficient with teaching and explaining the basics. He also quickly notices mistakes - incorrect posture, racquet position and gives feedback on every shot I made which helped me quickly improve my game. I have taken classes from a couple of different coaches but his technique and methodology are far superior!

I hadn't hit a ball in over 30 years, and only recently picked up a racket in the last year, "playing" less than 10 times. (The ball would go over the fence often). Mahdi was able to teach me fundamentals in lesson 1, in a way that my process-oriented mind can remember. He's also patient. I saw dramatic improvements in lesson 1. Looking forward to continuing. Watch out, Williams sisters!
