What my students are saying...

  "Adi is an excellent tennis instructor. He combines detailed technique analysis with great communication skills. This enables him to pinpoint precise things to work on, that lead to real results! All while keeping every lesson fun and engaging. I highly recommend him for players at any level."

• Baharat S.

  5

  "Adi is a really good teacher who is clearly a very good player but will explain things clearly. He knows how to help you improve without forcing you to change your natural game. He helped me a lot with my technique for my one handed backhand and my second serve (kick serve)"

• Ali N.

  5

  "I returned to tennis after a few decades and was very reluctant to change my grip and form. Adi helped me to quickly adapt to the new grip by feeding me hundreds and hundreds of balls and providing feedback along the way. After only a couple of weeks, I'm feeling much more comfortable with a new forehand and backhand."

• Polina C.

  5

  "Really enjoy our lessons. Highly recommend."

• Peter P.

  5

  "Adi has been helping me improve my game after moving back to the the Bay Area. I’m really glad that I found him because he is a great coach. I like his approach because you can tell he is really focused on observing your technique, then methodically introducing adjustments so that you never “lose the feeling”. Also, as an intermediate rec player wanting to get into competitive shape, Adi brings a high level of intensity to our lessons that I’m looking for."

• Ron C

  5

  "It’s unfortunate that it has taken me 30 years to find Adi. Simply put, Adi is the best teacher of tennis I’ve ever had. Adi listens, Adi watches, then Adi enables with a game plan designed just for you. Most pros are cookie cutter, many have one size fits all lessons. From our first moment on court Adi understood what I needed to improve my game which has been sitting at 3.5 for too many years. Now I’m hitting the ball confidently with driving topspin thanks to Adi’s style of teaching. He is punctual, professional, calm and gives great value for the cost of the lesson. I’m looking forward to becoming a 4.0 with his guidance."

• Eli B.

  5

  "I've loved working with Adi and can't recommend him enough! He was super responsive, extremely flexible and accommodating on scheduling, and has been a keen, thoughtful, and attentive coach. He very quickly helped me identify areas for improvement and designed drills to work on them. I'm an experienced/advanced player (I played club tennis in college, and am a USPTA certified tennis pro), and I've still learned a ton from working with Adi. I couldn't recommend him more highly. Ah, and he's also just super nice, welcoming, and a pleasure to be with."

• Yvonne L.

  5

  "Adi has been coaching my two sons and two of their friends (group lesson with 4 kids aged 8-11) for about 2 months now and he is just the type of coach we are looking for. We work directly with him, not an assistant which seems to be common for lessons for kids this age. Similar price compared to group lessons with twice the number of kids and taught by assistants (often times just high school helpers feeding balls). We like that he has very organized drills with focus objectives in mind. Our kids have already greatly improved!"

• Irina S.

  5

  "Adi is a great coach. I haven’t played in decades and he was able to get me back on track quickly!"

• Aaron W.

  5

  "After playing for a few years, I thought it was a good time to get some new insight in to my game. Adi was able to quickly identify areas I could use some improvement and helped me start implementing some changes. The part I really appreciate about Adi’s coaching is his adaptability and ability to articulate and make things easy to follow. If something’s not quite clicking for me, he’s able to quickly shift gears and have me try different, simple exercises that still get me to the same result we’re looking for me to achieve. This is a quality I have not come across in many tennis coaches before, and is something I value when finding a coach."

• Weston C.

  5

  "Adi is awesome! Very responsive and a great coach. Would highly recommend."

• Mark C.

  5

  "I am getting back to playing after years of not playing. I was a competitive player when I was younger, but if ado had been my coach I would’ve been a lot better! He’s identified and helped me work on issues with my strokes. I largely know the issues with my strokes, but previous coaches didn’t give much direction beyond telling me to do the opposite of what i was doing. Adi really broke it down and made the adjustments actually make sense. If you want to improve your game, book some lessons with Adi!"

• Tessa Q.

  5

  "My sister and I did 5 private lessons with Adi and thought he was a great coach. We are beginners, and he always came very prepared with a variety of drills for us to run through to help us learn the basics. He was very professional and knowledgeable and I would definitely work with him again."

• Jeff B.

  5

  "I have taken a few lessons with Adi so far and he has already been very helpful in improving my tennis game. I play USTA league team tennis at the 4.5 rating level. I have played tennis on and off for 20 years and I haven't had lessons for the last 17 years. I am very glad I decided to start taking lessons with Adi as he has already given me very helpful input for improving my serve, forehand, backhand, and volleys. He provides simple recommendations for improving each tennis stroke and then helps you to work on implementing those recommendations."

• Timothy T.

  5

  "Had a few lessons with Adi so far. He was easy to contact and chat with, and I’ve found the lessons the perfect balance of easy to learn whilst challenging. I’ve enjoyed his instruction so far as an intermediate player"

• Brian L.

  5

  "I’m terrible at writing reviews but I’ve worked with many coaches and I can confidently say, “Adi is the best one”."

• Conor H.

  5

  "As someone who had never played tennis before, Adi did a wonderful job showing me the basics so that I was able to start playing during my first lesson. I would definitely recommend this instructor to anyone else looking to take up tennis or brush up on their skills!"

• Hiroyoshi

  5

  "Adi helped clean up my forehand and backhand technique. He pointed out areas to improve one by one and helped me practice so that I can pick them up better rather than overwhelm me with too many tips. Looking forward to continue to work with him."

• Francine J.

  5

  "Outstanding teacher with a crystal clear understanding of what it takes to teach tennis! Patient but persistent in making sure that progress is occurring!! Every expectation met!"

• Lucas F.

  "Good coach. Helped develop my forehand into more of a weapon. Has played and coached high level players. Excellent energy and good all round athlete."

• Anika K.

  "My friend and I have had an excellent time with Adi so far, and we're looking forward to the next lessons! We can totally recommend lessons with Adi!"

• Kyujung J.

  5

  "It has been great to learn tennis from Adi so far. He knows very well how to fix my problems, and he is an expert on tennis drills to improve naturally. Of course it takes time to improve, but compared to the past when I tried to learn by watching youtube lessons, I am sure that Adi has significantly accelerated my learning curve."

• Negeen A.

  5

  "I have taken 4 lessons so far with Adi and they’ve all been great! I haven’t played tennis since I was a young child and I’ve learned so much in the last 4 lessons. He is very patient and his techniques really work!"

• Dasom Y.

  5

  "This is my first time to learn tennis, so I did worry a lot because I was not good at sports. But Adi is very goot at teaching. He teaches me step-by-step, so I can approach tennis very easily. And even it is really exciting!!! I appreciate his patience with my very slow learning👍🏻 I strongly recommend!!"

• Jing-Zhi X.

  5

  "Adi was super responsive and flexible in scheduling an initial 30 mins trial lesson for my 8 yr old son. I thought 1 hr might have been to much, since it was his first time playing. Adi was there at the court early and started the lesson right away. My son loved it and said he wished it was longer. So, now we're going to do 1 hr lessons. Adi also brought a child sized racket for my son to use during the lesson. My son is counting down the days till his next class! Thank you Adi :)"

• Gary G.

  5

  "Adi explains things very well and can quickly point out root causes of issues I had with my ground strokes. He’s also energetic and has passion for tennis and teaching. Only had 2 lessons with him so far but I already know he’s probably one of the best coaches in the Bay Area."

• Tom B.

  5

  "I'm an older player who has played since early adolescence. I decided I wanted to improve my one-handed backhand and contacted him after watching him hit the same stroke on YouTube. We've had two lessons and I think that, even at age 68, we are on track to make some improvement! I've no hesitation in recommending Adi."

• Amanda P.

  5

  "Adi has been great to work with! After a 10 year break from tennis I was looking for an instructor to help refresh the fundamentals and improve my game. During my first two lessons Adi was already able to identify areas of improvement and was very patient as we stepped through revamping my backhand and forehand. I also appreciate how responsive and flexible Adi is with scheduling. I’m very excited to continue working with him to further improve my game!"

• Sebas F.

  5

  "I have been having a really good time taking Tennis lessons with Adi. He is very patient and communicates very well his feedback and what I need to do to improve. I find his style of teaching very effective especially for someone who does not have a lot of experience. In addition, he is very easy going and reliable. Highly recommend to take classes with Adi!"

• Khama W.

  5

  "Adi is the real deal. I'm a big Ash Barty fan and had always hope I could begin hitting an effective/consistent backhand slice. I tried youtube videos and other coaches, but I continued to struggle. I decided to work with Adi, and I was completely blown away with how well he was able to fix my back hand slice, as well as one handed backhand and my mental game. I'm def much more confident on the court now that I have greater consistency. Of course these shots take time, and I'll need much more practice, but I'm happy that I have solid foundation/technique! I def recommend this dude. worth the cost."

• Yoram R.

• Rachel

  "Adi is a great instructor for all levels. He’s been able to teach the basics to my boyfriend who’s just starting out with tennis. I’ve been playing for most of my life, but in just a few sessions with Adi he’s really been able to improve some of the weaker parts of my game. We highly recommend him for anyone looking to take lessons!"

• Sherry

  5

  "I've had a few lessons with Adi already and I can already tell he is one of those teachers/coaches you keep for a long time because you improve as a player and also enjoy the sport more. His lessons are full of constant feedback and he does it in a very encouraging way. Drills make sense and I'm getting an awesome workout too. I'm making progress as a player thanks to Adi."

• Emi

  "Adi is a great teacher! His low-key style makes the lessons really easy to enjoy. He's focused on having you build good habits, even from the very start (I'm a beginner). I feel as though I'm improving quite rapidly, after only a couple of lessons, which is an incredibly experience. Moreover, he's really flexible and responsive about scheduling. I would recommend him to anyone!"

• Hailey

  "Adi was amazing with my 6 year old. We loved how he incorporated fun activities such as ball dodging and ball catching into the training routine, which is great for kids who need to work on their basic hand eye coordination. He was so friendly and encouraging — our training session has been the highlight of our week. Would highly recommend him."

• Bre

  "Adi is a great teacher! My daughter has made huge strides, especially her serve. More importantly she’s happy and understands what he is imparting, which is important. He always answers any questions and goes out of his way to be helpful."

• Westin

  5

  "Adi is patient, consistent, and knowledgeable about common mistakes that intermediate players make. After a few minutes of working together, he spotted needed adjustments on my grip and it made an immediate impact on my game. He's also a good time--he brought music to keep the energy up!"

• Brian And Dancy

  5

  "Adi is one of the best tennis coaches you will ever find in the Bay Area. My girlfriend and I are very particular about executing each stroke with the proper form, and Adi is definitely very knowledgeable and provides us great guidance on correcting our form. Very few coaches nowadays will have the stamina and fitness level to keep up with their students who need live rallies at an intermediate/advanced level, and Adi will definitely deliver as he is super fit. Most coaches are just glorified “ball machines” that will only feed balls to you. Not Adi, as he always works hard on the court to make sure you improve your game and fitness level. We highly recommend Adi!"

• Deb

  5

  "Adi was highly recommended to us by a tennis friend who is a passionate long time tennis player and has tons of experiences with private coaches. We loved Adi from our very first lesson. Not only Adi quickly identified the mistakes we had in our forms, he also came up with simple and effective drills to correct them. He is kind, communicative, and highly reliable. If you are looking for an instructor who can honestly tell you as is, who provides high quality professional training with a great understanding of each individual’s physical differences and challenges, please look no further, Adi is your guy! We are extremely satisfied with the improvements/progress we made in a short period of time, and currently taking regular lessons!"

  "Adi is a skillful instructor, and very competent in the mechanics of tennis. He’s focused, patient and very positive to work with."

• Paul

  "Adi is the best tennis coach I have ever had. I am a high level 3.5 Player when I play 4.0 players I lose 2-6, 3-6. I’m confident with Adi’s help I’ll be winning 4.0 matches in a couple months. Every time I take a lesson with him he points out one or two techniques he wants me to incorporate or 1 or 2 things he wants me to adjust. He does not suggest 25 things to change / tweak/ work on like I find with most tennis pros. I would recommend Adi for anyone at any skill level. Children just starting out to 5.0 plus players who could benefit from a great sparring partner. Adi is great. Give him a try, you won’t regret it"

• Rebecca

  "Adi is very good at what he does and it’s clear that he loves tennis. He’s helped me improve my confidence on the court which has allowed me to increase my skills all around. I’m a much better player because of Adi. I highly recommend his service!"
