Is the teaching and coaching done online only or also in person?
Currently, the teaching is only offered online.
Where are you located?
Our primary teaching location is in the Northern New Jersey area, mainly in the Millburn, Chatham, and Summit areas.
Can I request a specific subject for a lesson?
You can request anything you’d like for the lesson! If you have no preference, Mac will form a plan for your lessons based around your skill level, games, and information that you provide about your own playing.
Do you teach groups lessons?
Yes! Group lessons can be a more cost effective option compared to private lessons. If you have a group of people that you’d like us to work with, please let us know. If you are interested in joining a group class we can also add you to our waiting list and when enough people are ready we will start the class.
What is the difference between teaching and coaching?
The difference between teaching and coaching is that coaching is more suited to your specific needs and focused on what you need individually.
