We hired Maria to give tennis lessons to my wife, who has not played for a number of years. Maria is very good instructor, but more than that, she is a sweet person, and has been very accommodating w/ our schedule. It's the rainy season in South Florida, and Maria has even driven across town on a scooter in the rain, to give the lessons. Despite getting soaked more than once, she never complained. We are very glad that we hired Maria.

I would definitely recommend Ms. Maria V. I’m started off as a complete beginner and she was excellent at teaching me the right technique and focusing on developing good habits from the get-go. Ms. Maria has a very positive attitude. She gives good constructive criticism, and positive encouragement when you seem frustrated! I can say with confidence, after every lesson I always left much better than when I came.

I had private lessons with Maria without any experiences in tennis. She is an amazing coach! We moved along very quickly and she taught me tennis techniques I never known. She is always on time and pays attention to how I did and always correct what I did wrong which I love that! She gives me lessons which change my perspective of back-hand swing forever! Awesome experience with her!

Maria is a delight. She was very patient, professional and quick to respond to my concerns. I received these lessons as a gift from a dear friend and it is one of the best gifts I have ever gotten, at age 66 that's saying a lot. This was my first time having lessons and I can't imagine having a better learning experience. I highly recommend Maria as an instructor.

Generally, I think Maria’s lessons are quite effective, and this one definitely stood out with useful insights. The focus on technique is helpful, and I appreciated the clear feedback, though I hope to see more variety in drills next time. Still, it’s a good foundation to build on. Honestly, if you’re looking to sharpen your skills, I’d consider giving her a try.

She taught beginner's drills and we moved along quickly. After assuring that I had understood everything she was saying, we moved on into quicker paced drills. Then we scrimmaged against each other (learning along the way) and ended.
