“Coach Dennis is an outstanding instructor for first-time adult learners. I trained with him for five months, one to two times per week, with the goal of learning to rally and play socially with friends. By the end of that period, I was rallying consistently and felt confident on the court. His coaching is focused on technique. He emphasizes proper grip, footwork, posture, and body positioning from the start. His attention to detail ensures that form is built correctly and bad habits are avoided. Every correction is purposeful and clearly explained. Dennis also teaches practical game strategy. He explains when to move in for short balls, when to stay back, and how to position effectively for different shot types. His lessons build both skill and court awareness. As progress is made, Dennis increases the challenge with targeted drills to push you to the next level. There is no wasted time or filler in his sessions. With consistent training over five months, I developed the skills and understanding needed to start playing casually. For adults new to tennis who want results-driven, high-quality coaching, Coach Dennis is highly recommended. Dennis has been my son’s tennis coach for about 1.5 years. My son is 7 now and not super into tennis by nature, but Dennis made the lessons fun enough that he actually looked forward to them each week. Dennis is great with kids — he knows how to keep them engaged without overwhelming them. He’s really good at mixing games into the lessons so it doesn’t feel too serious, but at the same time, he makes sure they’re learning the right form. Even while playing games, he’ll correct posture, grip, and footwork so they don’t build bad habits. Over time, Dennis introduced all the basics — volleys, hitting, serving, rallying — in a way that felt natural and fun. My son got to try everything without pressure. If you’re looking for someone who can make tennis fun for kids while still teaching solid fundamentals, Dennis is a great pick. He’s patient, attentive, and knows how to connect with young players.”

Dennis is an exceptional tennis coach with a strong ability to teach both children and adults. I’ve booked multiple sessions with him for my 6-year-old son, and I’ve been thoroughly impressed by how he keeps young learners engaged and fosters a genuine interest in the sport. Seeing my son’s progress inspired me to take a few lessons myself, and I found the experience equally rewarding. Dennis brings tremendous value to any community, and I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone—whether you're just starting out or looking to refine your skills.

Highschool varsity doubles player Dennis is a really great coach in the sense that he is passionate for helping people improve and is good at communicating. Any skills or shots I want to master, Dennis explains really eloquently and thoroughly. You can either lead the contents of your lesson or ask Dennis to choose what he thinks will be best to work on and help you improve. Would highly recommend Dennis as his lessons are enjoyable and you will definitely see results in your game.

Dennis coached our 5-year-old for a few months and was fantastic. He was patient, encouraging, and made the lessons fun while still focusing on fundamentals. Our child looked forward to each session and made noticeable progress each time. When Dennis had to move away, he introduced us to his former coach, who has also been great with our kid. We highly recommend Dennis for young beginners!

Coach Dennis Wang is awesome! He’s super patient, fun, and really knows how to keep kids motivated. My son always has a great time at his lessons and comes home excited to tell us what he learned. You can tell Coach Dennis really cares, and that makes a huge difference. Highly recommend!

In one 90 minute lesson with Dennis, I saw more improvements in my technique than I have in months prior. Dennis is super talented instructor and player: kind, patient, clear, and committed to efficiently using lesson time to help his students improve. I highly recommend!
