Testimonials - Shi Shi Tennis Academy

Shiori is an amazing teacher!! She is patient but has a plethora of knowledge about the tennis game and it translates in her teachings. I have used several different coaches but Shiori is by far the best! Thank you so much for taking my tennis level up to the next step!

It has been a pleasure knowing and playing tennis with Shiori. She makes anyone a better tennis player just by her consistency and athleticism.

She helps me solve my problems and always praises the good things too, so practice feels fun and positive!
Coach Shi Shi’s form is so cool, and I really enjoy chatting with her in English too!

I had struggled with my backhand for years, but Shi Shi patiently helped me rebuild it from the ground up. Now, it holds up even in matches.
Her coaching helps you truly feel your progress, and she’s always attentive to even the smallest concerns. Watching her form is incredibly instructive and inspiring.

Shi Shi isn’t just focused on short-term improvement—she identifies long-term challenges and guides you with care. Every lesson is fun and motivating, and I can feel myself growing each time.
She teaches the lifelong joy of tennis with energy, warmth, and a genuine smile. It's a wonderful place for learners of all ages.

Since training with Coach Shiori, I’ve developed match-ready skills and even won in advanced tournaments. She also coaches my kid, who plays competitively, and I’ve seen clear improvement not just in technique but in mental toughness. Her background as a top junior in Japan and NCAA finalist in the U.S. provides deep insights that benefit both adults and young athletes alike.

“Very nice!”—Coach Fukuda’s encouraging voice always echoes across the court when I hit a good shot. I'm a beginner, but I admire her dynamic form and really enjoy each lesson.

Coach Fukuda is the only coach who has truly helped me feel my own progress.
She identifies my weaknesses and provides customized, effective drills that fit me perfectly. Her kind and thoughtful teaching style improved not just my lessons, but also my solo practice, and I started seeing results in tournaments.
She brings direct experience from the U.S. college system, making her lessons especially valuable for competitive players. She has a truly wonderful smile!

My son, a junior high student, takes private lessons once or twice a month.
The quality of each session is exceptional, and he always comes home more motivated than ever. Coach Shiori is also very accommodating with last-minute requests, which we greatly appreciate. We’re looking forward to continuing with regular lessons!
