After leaving the classroom, I wanted to carry on teaching and tennis was the best choice I could have made. I have worked with Worcester tennis academy before moving to Bromsgrove school where I provided individual sessions and group sessions to all ages and abilities. Some coaching highlights from my time at Bromsgrove were helping some children achieve the coveted performance status at the school, and talent spotting a young boy who has gone on to win the county championships! Since branching out on my own, I continue to strive to help players achieve their goals through my player centric approach. I hope to see you on court!”
