I have over 20 years experience in tennis having picked it up again when I joined the University men's singles and mixed doubles team. I have been coaching since 2021 with a strong emphasis in making tennis accessible to everyone regardless of background. I am also a qualified LTA Competitions Organiser and very passionate on how tennis is played on all levels with huge emphasis on the mental side of the sport and above all, for everyone to have fun whilst learning tennis.

Coach Accreditation is the LTA’s professional membership scheme for coaches. Being accredited ensures that a coach is qualified, insured and meets safe-to-practice standards, such as first aid and safeguarding training. An Accredited+ coach also commits to a minimum of 15 hours of professional development training each year.
Qualifications range from 1 to 5 and indicate the level of formally-assessed training a coach has completed. Coaches begin the LTA Qualification pathway at LTA Assistant (Level 1) and are able to train up to Master Coach (Level 5), the highest available LTA qualification. When choosing a coach we recommend taking into account qualifications, experience and ongoing CPD training, which can be seen in their 'Recently completed training courses' tab.
All coaches displayed on this tool are committed to delivering tennis to people of all backgrounds including disability, faith, gender identity, race, sex and sexual orientation.
