About me

·        I first picked up a racket at 4yrs old playing locally in Oxted 

·        As a player I really enjoyed competing at all levels playing singles and doubles. I love the rush that you get from playing a tennis match, thinking about what tactics I want to utilise and what shots I need to make. 

·        I started tennis coaching in 2013 at the age of 15, due to my passion for tennis and to start helping juniors as I had been at a young age. 

·        I fell in love with tennis coaching and in 2018 I passed my LTA level 3 coaching course and plan to take the level 4 course within the next year. 

·        Also, in 2018 I graduated from Leeds Becket University with a degree in sports coaching.

·        Whilst at university I was captain of the women’s second team competing in national and northern premier tournaments against other university teams. 

·       As captain my role included coaching my teammates and ensuring they were ready for the matches each week. Focusing on individual and doubles tactics for the upcoming matches and working with them on technique, delivering drills and exercises 2/3 time a week. As well as devising training programmes for us on the tennis court and in the gym. 

·      After graduating I became the tennis manager at an academy in Surrey. Whilst working there I helped increase the group numbers for adults and juniors by 35%, I promoted and ran holiday camps which were very successful, I establishing links at 8 local primary schools, I set up and organised club nights for adults and I created and lead competitions for juniors and adults.

Individual rate £22 an hour or £200 for 10 lessons if paid in advance.
