Best Coach for our family. Nina was teaching us 3 years. Thank you so much.

Coach Nina is great, she's been helping my son develop his tennis skills in depth and I can always count on her to help my son improve. She's patient with him.

Coach Nina is especially patient, knowledgeable, and great at connecting with kids. She provides clear instruction, pays attention to individual needs, and makes every lesson engaging and enjoyable. My son always looks forward to lessons and has made significant progress. We highly recommend Coach Nina.

I love taking classes with Coach Nina! She is very energetic, always available to discuss which sessions would be good for your skill level, and encourages player growth with good feedback and instruction. Her classes are fun, focusing on different skills and applying them in games.

I've been working with coach Nina for a year now and she's amazing! She is very passionate about teaching and gives direct helpful feedback.

I took private lessons with Coach Nina, and they've really improved my game. She helped me create better spacing on my forehand, refine my backhand, strengthen my volleys, and develop match strategies. I can definitely see the difference in my matches.

She made a big difference for my games. I have been taken her mini group lessons and some private classes for a while and I am already improved a lot for my strokes, movements and strategies. Nina is very passionate for teaching and make great efforts not just for the private sessions but also her group classes. She is knowledgeable, kind and patient. I really like the drills in her group lessons. It is super fun and helps me to prepare real tennis matches. I started playing tournaments this year and won some matches. When Nina heard the good news, she is happier than me! I am so lucky to have Nina!

Coach Nina is amazing at helping you improve and gives great individual attention even in group classes.

She was very thorough in teaching us the rules of tennis and always encouraged us to be more independent—practicing scoring on our own and remembering the details of the game. Our group of six has improved so much, and now I can even watch the U.S. Open and fully understand what's happening, including the tiebreakers!

Coach Nina (Nikolina Markovic) is exceptional — I met Nina since last November and have been taking many of her classes. She's knowledgeable, patient, and provides clear, actionable feedback. We always have a good laugh playing too! Thanks to Nina, I've noticed improvement in my tennis and can't wait to see where I will be by year-end with some persistence. Ask for Coach Nina and sign up for one of her classes!

My daughter has been doing private lessons with Coach Nina, and she's found it incredibly helpful. Coach Nina has this amazing ability to connect with her and really bring out the best in her game - she's patient, encouraging, energetic and clearly knows her stuff. The quality of instruction is top-notch.

Training with Coach Nina has made such a big difference in my tennis game. I've been playing with Nina for about a year now, and i'm seeing drastic improvements in my strokes as well as my confidence. As a 15-year-old still learning and trying to get on the varsity team at school, I can assure you Nina is the best coach to work with. She explains things in a clear, easy way, making it simple to understand. Nina is not only knowledgeable but also incredibly kind and patient. She creates a really positive environment where I feel supported and encouraged every single lesson. To conclude, her guidance and support has made me become more consistent, more confident, and overall a stronger player. I know I wouldn't be at this level without her. As thanksgiving is around the corner, I would love to say I am very thankful for my coach Nina :)

I especially enjoy learning with Coach Nina. She not only corrects players' technique, but also shares helpful tips on how to think on the court and make better decisions during play. As someone who is completely new to tennis, I really appreciate that she treats beginner students like athletes and genuinely wants them to succeed.

As part of a new team, I started to attend team practice with coach Nina. It has become one of my favorite day of the week. She closely observed and proactively worked with what each player could give, personally and as a team member, since the very first practice. She coaches us on improvements, strategies and techniques which we could implement during the game, never undermining any amount of expertise we brought individually. I am learning team strategies, of which I had no knowledge before and having fun at the same time. I'm really impressed by Coach Nina, personally and professionally.

The major reason I give 5 stars is because of coach Nina. I play multiple sports and have experience with a wide variety of coaches. Across these different sports, She is by far the best and most experienced coach I have had, and has produced me and my partner results, improving our game and knowledge in tennis exponentially. We do a wide variety of drills, practice sessions, form corrections, etc. time feels like it flies! She is always attentive, cares, and is fully aware of every players weaknesses and strengths and how to sharpen them. Every dollar spent is not going to waste. If you want to maximize your potential to the fullest, you will not regret going with coach Nina!

Nina is an amazing coach who puts in effort to structure her classes in a way that her students are always learning something. Whether it's consistency, strategy or a particular shot/technique. Her drills are well thought out and she explains the purpose of each one. Her focus on scoring points and not just rally is also a bonus as it helps you practice in "match mode". Her feedback is direct and while it can feel tough when you are not playing well, it's also encouraging when it's positive.

I've been training with Coach Nina, and she has been absolutely fantastic. She runs our Cup Team practices with a perfect mix of technique, strategy, and doubles-specific drills. Her eye for detail is incredible—she spots mistakes quickly, explains exactly why they matter, and gives clear corrections that actually stick. I've also taken mini coaching sessions with her, and every time I walk away with something new to apply in my matches. She's honest, direct, and not afraid to be stern when it helps you improve, yet she's also one of the nicest, most supportive coaches you'll meet. She genuinely wants you to win and gives you practical, thoughtful ways to do it.

This 5 star review is solely for Coach Nina :) She has been coaching me on and off since summer of 2023. As a coach she has a lot to offer, whether it is 1:1 or a group session. And each session is extremely engaging, whether it is on mental toughness, skills development, strategies etc. I am proud to say that her coaching is one of the reason I am confident to face tougher opponents.

Coach Nina is wonderful! Her lessons are not only engaging but also motivate the kids to make great progress. Recently, Nina introduced Green Dot Junior Tournaments, which have been a fantastic addition to the academy. My daughter had an absolute blast participating, and the atmosphere was both encouraging and supportive. Highly recommend!
