MTA Tennis Academy

My girls, both 9, absolutely love coach Jonathan. He makes the lessons fun and teaches them all the techniques they need for a lifelong love of Tennis. They always look forward to his class.

Coach Johnny is AWESOME! My 2 girls 7 and 10 are currently taking lessons from him and they LOVE it!!!
He is Great with kids and very professional. They really look forward to practice and they always say how much fun they had at the end of every lesson.
It’s so nice to see them excited to go every week! They are learning so much!

Jonathan is a great coach! He is fun, friendly and very patient. He really takes the time to teach the basic techniques before moving on to more challenging skills. Jonathan is not only a great tennis player but also a fantastic coach. I look forward to my lessons each week and plan to continue with him for as long as I can. I highly recommend him to anyone interested in playing competitively or just for fun!

Jonathan is a world class coach. He brings his knowledge and experience as an ex– player on the world tour circuit to every practice. He is very professional. He is able to articulate what adjustments are needed to improve your form. He is patient and works well with children. Sometimes, I will bring my kids to practice and he is always considerate of them. He is the real deal. When I started, I was a true beginner. I would hit the ball like a slugger on a baseball field. Currently, I’m training for my first doubles tournament after just a few months of working with Jonathan. He’s that kind of coach, the kind that truly loves his sport and enjoys teaching it. It’s infectious. I can’t find a better tennis coach out there!

My 9-​year old son has been taking lessons from Jonathan for one year and he has developed a love for the game. Jonathan coached him
from a true beginner level to a third place finish in his first tournament and playing in the finals in his fourth tournament. With these wins, my son is on his way to becoming a California state-​ranked player. Jonathan is patient, dedicated, fantastic with children, and comes with a wealth of knowledge from his prior years of playing as a professional on the World ATP Tour. I would highly recommend him to anyone that is looking to play recreationally or hoping to compete at a higher level.

Lessons with Jonathan are not like the other mill-​type classes out there. He is extremely attuned to his students, and his many years of professional tennis experience translate to a different, higher quality instruction. My kids are getting more playtime and more personalized attention. Jonathan is a great person, and his heart is really committed to helping his students (both kids & adults) love and excel at tennis. Highly, highly recommend.

I am so glad we found Jonathon! He is an excellent coach. My kids look forward to their lessons and really love learning from him. It is very apparent that he loves to teach and loves the game. I have had previous lessons in the area for my kids and none of them were even comparable. My kids are learning a lot and the right way to play, while he makes it fun! He genuinely cares that they love the game!

Jonathan is an amazing and dynamic tennis coach. He has helped our daughter tremendously. His enthusiasm and energy combined with his thoughtful instruction make him an outstanding tennis coach.

As a former tennis player, I had an idea of what type of instruction I wanted for my children when they started playing. With Jonathan, they are are getting exactly what I had hoped for: technical instruction, basic skills, positive encouragement, and fun. I hope my kids will love tennis as much as I did, and I think this will be a direct result of who they receive instruction from. Jonathon is instilling a love of the game in them while at the same time teaching basic skills. I know he is the right fit for them because they come off the court asking for more! A win-​win as far as I am concerned.

Jonathan is an amazing coach! Talented, articulate, patient, and personable with a wealth of playing and coaching experience at all levels. We were lucky enough to happen upon him when my hubby and I went to play one night at the Hermosa courts, and now we take a weekly lesson which we truly look forward to and enjoy. Whether you are an experienced tennis player or just learning, he will make you better and you will have a great time!
