Testimonials from the baseline

“Coach Paty helped me tremendously with my tennis. I came back from an ACL injury and asked her to start working with me in 2023. She is very patient with me as I work myself back to the sport. I had no forehand at all. It seemed like I didn’t know how to play tennis. Coach Paty is just very supportive and knows what to say. She is very encouraging since I was getting frustrated. The main thing she made me a better player was my volleys and serves. I was never good at volleys and nobody taught me the right way to volley. Now a lot of my tennis friends were impressed since I never was confident at the net before the injury. Same thing with serving. It is definitely another skill that you need to develop over time. She is always patient. Tweaking every technique every time. She is hard on me and pushed me because she knows that I can do it. I love Coach Paty. I can always talk to her and she always listens to what I have to say about tennis especially evaluating my tennis matches. Before and after a match she gives me tips and feedback win or lose.”

“I have been training with Paty for the past two years, and the improvement in my game has been remarkable. When I first started, my backhand and net play were clear weaknesses. Through her tough but fair coaching style, she has helped me transform those areas into real strengths. Her approach is structured, challenging, and highly effective, while still being supportive and motivating. She has a great ability to tailor lessons to a player’s needs and push them just the right amount. I would highly recommend Paty to players of all ages, and particularly to 3.0–4.0 level players looking to elevate their game. She has the expertise and the coaching style to help you get there.”

“Coach Paty is a breath of fresh air! I came to her at the age of 34 - no previous tennis knowledge with excitement + willingness to listen and learn. She is patient, fun, and always finds the right way to show and explain any technique that I’m working towards learning. Paty is truly an expert when it comes to tennis and teaching. She will support you all the way to reaching your tennis goals, whether that be playing twice a week with friends or winning tournaments. Paty has also helped me through multiple (minor) injuries and has extensive knowledge with mobility, PT exercises, and even nutrition and training. She is truly a gem. I feel so lucky and grateful that I found Paty & tennis - don’t pass her up, no matter if you are a beginner or a seasoned pro.”

“Coach Paty has been our daughter’s tennis coach for 4 years and we’ve witnessed the transformation of our daughter’s skills: from a total beginner to an intermediate player. Paty is patient, encouraging and supportive. She is able to explain complex body movements and techniques into easy-to-understand steps and she demonstrates them; then practices with my daughter to ensure her doing them correctly and consistently. She challenges our daughter to reach higher level in a way that is fun and motivating. We can’t recommend Coach Paty enough to anyone looking to start or rejoin their tennis journey at any level.”

“Coach Paty is amazing! She has helped me learn so much about tennis - both the fundamental and technical sides. She is knowledgeable and patient. You can tell she has a love of the game and her enthusiasm is contagious. Whether you’re looking to take your game to the next level, or just starting out I HIGHLY recommend Coach Paty!”

“Coach Patty has been the best coach for my daughter and myself. We were nervous and intimidated at first and before our first lesson was over she was quick to settle our nerves. She is passionate about teaching and her love of tennis is infectious. She is patient, kind, and tough. She pushes you enough to feel motivated and inspired , everything a GREAT coach should do. We have been taking lessons for a year and still love every minute of it!

“Our daughter began as a beginner with Paty. Paty not only fostered a joy and excitement for tennis (which seems to only be getting stronger) in those early days by making lessons and play fun, but taught our daughter the fundamentals while doing so. Now, several years later, our daughter consistently receives compliments for her footwork, her strokes and overall tennis knowledge, even when in groups filled with much older and elite players. Much of that can be traced back to the early work with Paty. Whether it is in private lessons, group clinics, summer camps or junior team tennis events (all of which we have experienced with Paty), Paty is great with the kids, both from the perspective of tennis strategy and technique, and the manner in which she works with the kids. We feel very fortunate to have connected with Paty early in our daughter’s tennis journey, as she has been a great tennis mentor and friend to our entire family.”

“My daughter has been taking tennis lessons with Paty Toro for a few years now. When my daughter first started she had never even held a tennis racket before and now she is playing on her high school tennis team. Paty is an excellent instructor and has instilled confidence in my daughter and has taught her the skills she needed to play at the next level. Paty is patient and consistent with her and is always willing to work with our busy schedules. We will continue weekly lessons with Paty because we see improvement after every lesson.”

“I am 64 years old. Last year Paty started teaching me to play tennis. This was not an easy undertaking for her. Her patience and kindness helped me persevere. Because of Paty, I enjoy playing but more importantly I enjoy learning from her. She explains strategy in a way I understand. I can’t say enough about how happy I am she’s my coach so I will conclude with this, I would go wherever Paty Toro is teaching/coaching!”
