About Gene

I am the Tennis Director of the Marina City Club, 4333 Admiralty Way, Marina del Rey, CA 90292.  You can call me at 310-578-4949 or email problemsolvergene@yahoo.com

I give private, semi-private, and group lessons.  I played and taught tennis in the Caribbean, Florida, and Louisiana, before becoming a USPTR Certified Pro in Los Angeles in 2000.  I have been here ever since teaching children and adults from 2-82 over the last ten years.  I am currently head tennis coach (with Josh Weissman) at Crossroads Middle School in Santa Monica, CA.  Formerly, I was head coach at St. Monica’s High School, where I took the boy’s team from being winless in 2008 to making the playoffs and finishing with an 8-7 record in my first season in spring of 2009.

Fees:  I charge $75 / hour or $40 / half-hour for private and semi-private lessons (3 or more add $5 / person).  Cardio tennis classes run $20 / person / hour.  I offer a package of 10 lessons for $700.
