Question 1

Do you work with complete beginners?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Coaching accommodates everyone from first-time players to experienced recreational players.

Question 2

Where do lessons take place?

Accepted Answer

At an agreed-upon tennis court that's convenient for the player and the coach.

Question 3

Do you have your own tennis facility?

Accepted Answer

No. Poom's Tennis Academy is a mobile, service-area coaching business rather than a single-location tennis club.

Question 4

What should I bring?

Accepted Answer

A racquet if you have one, court shoes, water and something to keep the sun off. If you don't own a racquet yet, say so in your request.

Question 5

Do you offer private lessons?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Private lessons are one-on-one and built around your goals.

Question 6

Can two people take a lesson together?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Semi-private coaching is designed for exactly that.

Question 7

Do you coach groups?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Group coaching can be arranged based on group size, ability level and location.

Question 8

Do you coach adults?

Accepted Answer

Yes, including adults who have never played before.

Question 9

Do you coach juniors?

Accepted Answer

Yes, with sessions appropriate to the child's age and experience.

Question 10

Can you help someone preparing for matches?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Match-play coaching can focus on strategy, positioning, decision making and point construction.

Question 11

How much do tennis lessons cost in Los Angeles?

Accepted Answer

A private lesson with Poom is $125 an hour. Semi-private is $65 per player and small-group coaching is $50 per player. Those are the full rates, with no membership and no required package.

Question 12

How much is a private tennis lesson?

Accepted Answer

$125 per hour, one-on-one, at the court you choose anywhere inside the service area.

Question 13

Is it cheaper to take a lesson with a friend?

Accepted Answer

Yes. A semi-private lesson is $65 per player, so two people splitting an hour pay less each than a single private session.

Question 14

Do you charge a travel fee?

Accepted Answer

No. There is no travel fee anywhere inside the service area, which runs from Sherman Oaks and Hollywood through Pasadena and out to Glendora.

Question 15

Do I have to buy a package of lessons?

Accepted Answer

No. You can book a single lesson. Nothing is prepaid and there is no contract.

Question 16

How far do you travel?

Accepted Answer

Service is available throughout much of greater Los Angeles, generally from the Hollywood and Valley areas through Pasadena and portions of the San Gabriel Valley as far east as Glendora. Availability depends on schedule and location.

Question 17

Can you come to my apartment or HOA tennis court?

Accepted Answer

Potentially, yes, provided you have permission to use the court and outside coaching is allowed there.

Question 18

Who reserves the court?

Accepted Answer

Court arrangements depend on the location. This gets established during booking, before the lesson is confirmed.

Question 19

I don't have a court in mind. Can you help?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Tick the 'I need help choosing a location' option when you request a lesson and we'll work it out together.

Question 20

How do I book?

Accepted Answer

Submit a lesson request with your coaching type, neighborhood, preferred court if you know one, skill level and availability.

Question 21

What if I don't know which lesson type I need?

Accepted Answer

Submit a general request and Poom can help determine the most appropriate format.

Question 22

Is my lesson confirmed as soon as I submit the form?

Accepted Answer

Not yet. A request starts the conversation. Location and schedule get coordinated with you before anything is confirmed.

Question 23

What are your rates?

Accepted Answer

Private lessons are $125 per hour. Semi-private lessons are $65 per hour per player ($130 total for two). Small groups of three or four are $50 per hour per player. Junior, adult and match-play sessions follow the same rates by format. Every rate is listed on the pricing page.

Question 24

Are there any hidden fees?

Accepted Answer

No. There's no travel fee anywhere inside the stated service area, no membership and no required package. You can book a single lesson. If a court charges a reservation or facility fee, that cost is yours and it's stated before the session is confirmed.

Question 25

What's the cancellation policy?

Accepted Answer

24 hours' notice to cancel or reschedule. Inside that window the session is charged.

Question 26

What happens if it rains?

Accepted Answer

Weather affects outdoor courts, so rain days are handled case by case. [Editable placeholder: add the final rain policy here.]

Question 27

Are there court fees or travel charges?

Accepted Answer

No travel charge inside the service area. If a public or private facility charges a court or reservation fee, that's the client's cost and it's stated before the lesson is confirmed.
