Meet Eric
I have been teaching tennis for nearly 30 years. I started teaching group lessons for the Portland Tennis Center and, by the age of 18, I coached Junior Davis and Wightman Cup Teams. I continued teaching in the San Francisco Bay Area and throughout college.
​
For the past 15 years, I have been teaching at Vermont Canyon Tennis Center in Griffith Park, as well as providing private lessons for clients at their homes.

My Approach to Teaching
​
Early on in our lessons, I find what teaching styple works best for you. I do this by analysis and talking one-on-one with you. I want to know what your goals are. I assess your strokes and movement.
​
In my opinion, the sign of a good teacher is to enhance your strengths, rather than change everything about your game. I love to incorporate drills and match play into almost every lesson.
​
As a USPTR Certified Instructor, it is my mission to make sure every lesson is a fun, dynamic, creative, and challenging experience.
​
I strive to bring out your very best in every lesson.
