Luke has been playing since he can remember and been coaching for the past 3 years.

Coaching provides the opportunity for me to combine my love of tennis and helping people to reach their personal best

My 2 favourite moments in tennis so far are Lleyton Hewitt’s 2003 Davis Cup comeback vs Roger Federer (the great man) from 2 sets down! The second, Roger Federer clinching his 15th Grand Slam at Wimbledon.

During all of Luke’s lessons, he ensures that he creates an environment that will best facilitate learning for every student, this includes making every lessons fun and exciting for the students. “The more exciting and interesting the lessons are, the more the students love it and the more they learn!”

Another one of Luke priorities is to endeavour to make sure each student leaves the court with the feeling that they have not only learnt new skills but also improved the ones they already can do!

“I enjoy watching the reaction of the students when they realise that they have learnt something or improved one of their strokes”

“Apart from teaching them forehands and backhands, I try to help each and every person achieve their personal best!”

Simon Taylor

Simon has been coaching for the past 7 years. After being on of Andrew’s star students, he took up the challenge to pass on his skills and coach some of the next crop of young stars.

My priorities for each lesson are to ensure the kids have fun, leave the court having learnt something new and making sure that not only each individual person improves however the group work cooperatively to help each other improve.

It is very rewarding to see the students develop over time.
