Fred is a phenomenal tennis coach! I played as a kid but wanted to pick up the sport again as an…read moreadult. It's been challenging but fun to learn and play with Fred as a 1:1 coach. We play at the Chabot courts, and though I wish the city of Oakland would update their booking system, we always get a court and it's only $10/hr. I would recommend Fred as a coach to anyone getting started or looking to sharpen their skills. He has a great eye for even small errors that I make and gives great advice for correction- I felt a huge improvement after just 4 lessons with Fred. We have a great time, and I'm also becoming a much better player than I had expected to be in just the 5 months that we've been working together.

Fred is a great tennis first timer coach. He is involved, loves the game and is an easy going guy.read more

Tony and Whitney's Total Body Tennis class is an absolute blast! If you're looking for a fun way to…read moreimprove your tennis game while getting a full-body workout, this is it. Tony keeps the energy high with engaging and effective tennis drills that keep you moving the entire time. His coaching style makes you feel challenged but never overwhelmed. And the way he designs the drills accommodates a range of skill levels and ensures that everyone gets in plenty of hitting. Whitney does a great job at leading the strength training portion, and I love how it's built into the class in bite-sized pieces between hitting--it makes the strength work feel more manageable and keeps the whole workout flowing smoothly. Plus, she's great at accommodating different abilities, so everyone feels comfortable while still getting a solid workout. Another plus is that everyone who comes is really friendly. Highly recommend!

Mr Winslow is a good tennis coach from what I saw of his coaching for my two children. However,…read morethere is a huge personal problem wherein he is verbally abusive to the kids at times. He wrote a long abusive text to my child, basically saying my child was worth nothing--this to a kid suffering from depression. Mr Winslow did refund me the lessons paid for my other child, because of course he knows this is WRONG. If you choose to pay Mr Winslow to coach your kid(s), you're playing abusive roulette. It would be great if he dealt with his personal issues so they don't interfere with his work with kids.

I have personally known Alexander Winslow and the Winslow Tennis Academy for around 30 years since…read moreAlexander was a San Jose State University varsity men's tennis team member. Alexander's teaching of mental and physical preparedness in conjunction with his USTA teaching style is a great fit for a youth just learning tennis or a young player trying to move up the local tennis rankings. Alexander has always made tennis fun for my kids (now young adults) by insightful personal instruction and teaching great sportsmanship. Tennis is a great family sport and my kids enjoyment of tennis will carry onto adulthood which is all we wanted as parents.

Coach Sammy has been teaching our 6 year old (Kindergarten) Tennis in a weekly lesson. My daughter…read morehad never played tennis before starting with Sammy but has made incredible progress and most importantly, she LOVES and looks forward to her lesson each week. She says "Tennis with Coach Sammy is SOOO fun!" In the hour lesson Coach Sammy keeps students focused and engaged with fun practice games and switching between skills and activities (rallies, serving, footwork, etc). His coaching style is extremely effective and the lessons are truly worth every penny and more. He uses every minute of the lesson effectively and jam packs the hour with instruction, practice and skill building games. My daughter is tired in the best possible way by the end! Coach Sammy is kind, knowledgeable and flexible and adapts his teaching and lesson to each student. Most importantly, Coach Sammy is incredibly patient which is necessary when working with young learners. We can't recommend Coach Sammy enough to anyone looking for a tennis instructor - both kids and adults! He is a wonderful person and skilled coach and so enthusiastic about teaching Tennis! We feel so fortunate to have found Coach Sammy.

Though he is young, he has played the game for more than half of his life, some of it competitively, and is a studious observer of the many facets of tennis. What makes him special is not just his knowledge about stroke technique and court strategy, but about his ability to diagnose your game and pinpoint ways to make improvements. Sam has multiple ways to explain and describe techniques of groundstrokes, net game, and serve. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone interested in improving their game.v
