My story

From Italy
to the French Riviera

For ten years I taught at a club in Italy, working with children, teenagers, adults and seniors. That is where I earned my FITP certifications. I also help organise an ATP Challenger tournament: an experience that has taught me as much about rigour as about teaching.

Today I teach on the French Riviera, on my students' own courts (villa, hotel, residence) or on a court I book for them. Every lesson is shaped around the person, their level and their pace.

What my students tell me most often after a lesson isn't "I played better." It's "I finally understood why."

My method

Clear progression,
not random drills

What my students value most is knowing where they stand and where they are heading. Every lesson follows a clear progression, suited to your level, age and goals.

Your first lesson

What to expect
from your first session

Here's how a first lesson works.

01 A short conversation
Before picking up a racket, we talk for a few minutes about your experience, your goals and any physical considerations.
02 On-court assessment
A few rallies to see your technique, positioning and level, without judgement: that's how I adapt what comes next.
03 The points that matter
Together we pick one or two priorities, the ones that will make the biggest difference to your game, and work on them.
04 Clear feedback & next steps
At the end, you know what has changed and what to keep working on, whether or not you continue with me.

Where I coach

Across the
French Riviera

On your court, anywhere on the French Riviera. No private court? I book a court in the area and bring rackets and balls.
