Testimonials

It is with great delight to give the tennis pro Mr. Ravi DeSouza a testimonial review.

"I came across this opportunity to develop my tennis skills through an ad on the internet.
I was a bit nervous and full of anxiety, as I had been through a five year delay due to a car accident."
Mr. Ravi promptly responded to my inquiry.

1.   So delighted, as responses are rare these days.
2.   Calmed my concerns with informative details and friendly chatter.

Upon meeting Mr. Ravi, my thoughts were confirmed. I had made an excellent choice and this was going to be a good tennis adventure.
His warm, patient, teaching techniques were above and beyond my expectations.
My love of the game has returned due to his direction.
I have had many previous pro's, not one checks all the boxes as he does.
Keep up the sensational instruction Mr. Ravi., rare to find such a dedicated pro who evaluates each individual's needs and proceeds accordingly, with such ease and visible results, due to his vast expertise.
So pleased that I went out of my comfort zone to pursue enrollment in session one.
Can't wait for two and three... and hopefully next year.
So ... I 'm the real winner here!!!

"Coach Ravi is an experience professional tennis coach"

He has taught me to be more of a confident tennis player. Coach Ravi has taught me so much about tennis he has improved my technique, he encourages me to get better at tennis. He is a great coach for anyone who wants to play the sport. - Harry.L

"Coach Ravi delivers a systematic approach to tennis   fundamentals, a given with any great coach."
 But where Coach Ravi shines is how he understands that every kid is   different and he changes his approach based on this knowledge.   Coach Ravi is excellent with kids and we’ve seen our son progress to   a confident player by leaps and bounds under him. - Elle & Greg

"Ravi is a professional coach that has a reason for everything he teaches."

He makes me feel very welcomed before every practice. He teaches me to be confident in whatever I do. Coach Ravi showed me different styles and ways to play. He gave me a lot of useful tips to improve my tennis and I would strongly suggest Coach Ravi to anyone that wants to bring his/her tennis to the next level. - Austin L

"Ravi, I give 2 thumbs up for you! Keep up the good work! .

My son, Paul, was very interested to play tennis since he was 4. The opportunity that Ravi gave him as his coach is a big plus for his dreams to come true. There was never a time that Paul got bored during his tennis lessons with Ravi but he always goes home enthusiastic, excited and encouraged! Ravi is very professional and he really means business when he trains his students. I would highly recommend Ravi to my friends. He is very approachable and a person with a good heart. Ravi, I give 2 thumbs up for you! Keep up the good work!" - F. Albitos

"I have been away from tennis for several years and have recently returned to the game as Coach Ravi was recommended to me from a friend who has taken lessons in the past with him."

I have been taking lessons with him for 2 years and always looking forward to his lessons and challenges.
He educates his clients on proper technique and builds a strong foundation for which to build on.  He teaches in a very clear concise way to help his students improve and build their confidence while making the lesson time enjoyable.  His knowledge and passion for the game is obvious and he cares about each student. 

Ravi has helped given me the excitement back about playing tennis and the confidence to play and be the best I can be every time.   

Thank you Ravi for all your time, patience and dedication in helping me improve my game and feeling more confident in myself. - Michelle B.

"Sarah was coached by Ravi in weekly private lessons. Ravi helped Sarah to improve a lot not only to her tennis techniques but also to her mind to get into high performance tennis.

With Ravi's professional coaching, Sarah won the championship of 2013 Ontario U9 Central-West District, and Sarah is selected by Ontario Tennis Association as one of the ten best U10 female players into 2013/2014 U10 Provincial Training Center Program. But the most important thing of all is, Sarah loves the experience in Ravi's coaching sessions, and she will enjoy the tennis in her whole life! I highly recommend Ravi for his professional and excellence in the coaching." - Kevin L.

"The tennis experience with you has been fantastic. You are an excellent coach and you stand far above any other coach in any sport we have ever been a part of.

Bob and I are thankful for all the effort that you put into our kids."

- Penny

​"I have been taking tennis lessons with Coach Ravi for around three years now. I've had over 5 coaches throughout my life but never got to experience someone as professional and efficient.
He was able to focus on my weak points and develop them as he always said, 'muscle movement muscle memory'.
Coach Ravi has truly rooted skills and tactics that I will never forget throughout my tennis life. He always stated that tennis is not only a physical game but 80% mental and that's the first thing he tried to convince me although I hardly believed that. Through his different methods of teaching I have drastically improved not only in playing tennis and creating topspin but my confidence in playing this beautiful sport" – Ghaidh S​

When I started lessons with Ravi, I was a complete beginner and honestly wasn't sure if tennis was something I could pick up. From day one, he made the game approachable and fun.
What I appreciated most was how he simplified everything. I'll probably never forget hearing things like "track the ball," "split step" before moving to set," "swing parallel to the line," or "side step." Whenever I got tense, he'd remind me to keep it "loose and effortless," and if I was getting frustrated, it was always "take a breather." Those little cues stuck with me because they actually worked.

In a relatively short time, I could see real improvement in my game, but more importantly, I gained confidence. Ravi has a way of making you believe that learning something new is completely achievable, no matter your starting point. That confidence carried beyond the tennis court.

I'm genuinely grateful that Ravi was the coach who introduced me to tennis. If you're looking for a coach who is patient, encouraging, and knows how to build both your skills and your confidence, I couldn't recommend Ravi more highly. - Damola A.​

“I trained with coach Ravi last year. He had the knowledge, the patience and the energy to make me a better player."
He’s passionate about tennis and succeeded to pass some of this passion to me too so I could get over those inherent moments when nothing works and you feel that you can never become a better player.
Still here I am to testify that I got better after six months of training with coach Ravi. Thanks. - "Constantin Gheorghe”​​​

Under Ravi's tutelage, where I am now with my tennis game compared to where I was when I started is a night and day level of transformation.

What sets him apart is his ability to truly assess where you are and adapt his coaching to your specific level and needs. He's incredibly skilled at prescribing targeted drills and exercises, giving you a clear path to reach the highest level of play you're capable of. Beyond his technical acumen, Ravi is a fantastic motivator who keeps you pushing through the tough sessions, all while maintaining a level of professionalism that makes every lesson feel organized, purposeful, and worth the time. It has been an absolute privilege to train with him, and I couldn't recommend him more highly.  - Marco D.

"I would highly recommend Ravi to teach anyone who might be interested in taking lessons with him."

My name is Katherine and Ravi has been my tennis coach for almost eight years.
When I first started I could barely hit the ball but Ravi was very uplifting and convinced me to continue and now I am able to do everything that I never thought would be possible. - Katherine

"My 11-year-old daughter had the privilege of training with Coach Ravi three times a week during our five-week stay in Toronto, and we couldn’t have asked for a better coach".
From the very first lesson, Coach Ravi was attentive to every detail. He has an incredible eye for making small technical adjustments that had a remarkable impact on her game. His ability to identify exactly what needed to change—and explain it in a way that was easy for her to understand—helped her improve far more than we expected in such a short time.
Beyond his technical expertise, Coach Ravi was exceptionally patient, kind, and encouraging. He created a positive learning environment that kept my daughter motivated and excited for every lesson. She genuinely looked forward to each session and always came home eager to practice what she had learned.
As a parent, I especially appreciated that Coach Ravi focused not only on developing tennis skills but also on building confidence and fostering a love for the game. The progress she made over five weeks was incredible.
We were only visiting from Seoul, South Korea, so unfortunately we couldn’t continue lessons with him. If there were any way to keep training with Coach Ravi, we absolutely would. We highly recommend him to any parent looking for a knowledgeable, dedicated, and inspiring coach who truly cares about helping young athletes reach their potential. - Priyanka

"Thank you for the amazing summer tennis session. 

Emma and Joseph have really taken a strong liking to the game. They have been playing against the wall at school and against our garage door. Their interest peaked as their skills improved. We commend you for the highly organized, well planned and fun training sessions you provide to the kids. As parents, we appreciate your no nonsense disciplined approach. Great work! We would recommend you as a coach to anyone looking to enrol their kids into a progressive tennis program." - Joe & Irene B.

"Coach Ravi has a lot of knowledge, patience and respect for his students and adjusts his teaching style accordingly to the kid’s level and learning skills."
The Kids have been taking lessons with Coach Ravi for more than a year and they have commented on his lessons to my wife and I.

We have really enjoyed watching our kids improve and continue to enjoy the sport and are always looking forward to their lessons.
Thank you Coach Ravi for all your time, patience and dedication to the sport. If you are looking for a Coach for your kids we would recommend you speak with him and join his academy and training sessions.​
