“I’ve been taking lessons with Poom for a while now, and the experience has been absolutely fantastic. As an older person, it can be incredibly frustrating trying to unlearn bad habits or figure out why a certain shot just isn't landing, but this guy has been a real gift for making the complex mechanics of tennis easy to understand. He doesn't just tell you what to do but he takes the time to explain why you are doing it, which has completely changed the way I approach my game. Within the first few sessions, he identified a few tiny tweaks in my footwork and racquet preparation that immediately added more power and consistency to my swings. He is incredibly patient and always knows exactly how to balance pushing me out of my comfort zone with keeping the sessions enjoyable. You definitely get an intense workout in, but you’re having so much fun hitting the ball and seeing real time improvement that you hardly even notice the fatigue. Beyond just the technical strokes, he has also been great at teaching match strategy and helping me build better mental focus during rallies. Whether you are a total beginner wanting to build a rock-solid foundation, or an experienced player looking to refine your technique and take your skills to the next level, I cannot recommend Poom highly enough. He is a truly dedicated coach who genuinely cares about his students' progress, and my confidence on the court has skyrocketed since we started working together.”

I’ve been training with Poom since early 2024 and we usually play around three times a week. When I first started, I mainly wanted to improve and have fun, but over time I became much more consistent and confident on court. I’ve even started playing tournaments for fun, which is something I never really expected when I began. Poom is really good at noticing small things in my technique and explaining them in a way that actually makes sense. He keeps lessons challenging without making them frustrating, and there is always a good balance between drills, point play, and working on specific weaknesses. I also appreciate that he remembers what we have been working on from lesson to lesson instead of making every session feel random. I’ve improved a lot with my groundstrokes, movement, and overall understanding of how to play points. He is patient, easy to work with, and keeps the sessions enjoyable even when we are working hard. I would definitely recommend him to anyone who wants to seriously improve their tennis while still enjoying the process.

Coach Poom is a very dedicated tennis coach. He’s full of energy and really good with my kids and keeping us all engaged. My son had a great time in his class and his tennis has significantly improved in a super duper short time. Coach taught me various skills that are useful in a doubles match, and he’s really fantastic at noticing the tiniest of problems that I have. He is able to gauge student abilities and provide them with instruction to improve their skills on the tennis court and we are so happy that we finally found a wonderful coach for my son and I.

Poom has been a great coach. I’ve been working with him for about a year and I confidently went from a brand new player to a 4.5. He notices little things and really helped me improve my technical game. I would 100% recommend.
