AboutMark

I’m an experienced tennis coach from Oxford, with a coaching career that has taken me around the world. I’ve been fortunate to work in Greece, Italy, Turkey and Egypt, coaching players from a wide range of backgrounds, ages and abilities.

My own tennis journey began as a competitive junior player, and I later captained the University of the West of England tennis team in the BUCS division. These experiences helped shape my coaching style and gave me a strong understanding of both the technical and mental sides of the game in training and matchplay.

My goal is to create a positive and supportive environment where every player feels confident and comfortable on court. I believe people learn and perform at their best when they are enjoying themselves, which is why every session is tailored to the individual or Group.

Whether you are picking up a racket for the first time, returning to tennis after a break or that friend you can't seem to beat.  I will adapt each lesson to your ability, goals and playing style.

My love of Tennis and sport also stems from the health benefits and keep people active but off the treadmill. Its a great platform to build confidence and enjoy the many physical and mental benefits tennis can offer (before padel takes over completely!)

My promise is simple:
You’ll leave the court a better player than when you arrived. See you on court soon.
