Shruti S – Google 5 star review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ After recovering from an ACL reconstruction, my focus shifted to balance, proper technique & injury prevention. This is why Jay, with his years of experience, stellar work ethic, empathetic coaching style & emphasis on proper technique is the perfect coach.
You can rest assured that he won’t be rattling off instructions from a formulaic plan, but really making a diagnosis of your strengths & weaknesses and guiding you through the process of learning.
Overall, very pleasant experience. Highly recommended.

Neil – Google 5 star review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I discovered Coach Jay Davern through some help from my assistant, and all i can say is that Coach Davern is The Man to go to if you want to learn how to play tennis the right way. I grew up learning and hating tennis stayed at beginners level. Now I am enjoying this game more and more thanks to Coach Davern, guiding me through the proper techniques and style. I am sticking to him to improve my tennis playing and get better.
For a moment i thought Coach Davern has assistants or a team handling the lessons booking and coaching, but No he did it all by himself. From organising the lessons that he does meticulously on the calendar and sending out a reminder to me every time prior to every lessons. A strong and positive quality he has compares to other. His love and passion to tennis is bar none. Thank you Coach Davern. Looking forward to our weekly lessons.
Daniel – Google 5 star review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had a short stay in Singapore and played with Jay. Jay focus on improving my strokes and response to the game. I really enjoyed it. Jay has great love for coaching and superior skills.
Kapil – Google 5 star review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Jay has been coaching my son (six years old) for past six months. He is very professional and an effective communicator for all ages including young children. His approach is based on fundamentals and he strives to build a strong foundation. He is also very organized regarding session plannings. I receive informations and schedules way in advance that helps in planning. He is also accommodative for emergency needs from our end. His communications are always via emails / WhatsApp and are clear.
Choi – Google 5 star review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly recommended. Jay always makes sure I notice the difference by keep questioning when I do something correctly/wrongly. This really helps me get focused and brings fast improvement. Excellent time management is a plus.
Tanul – Google 5 star review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ He is very good with players of all levels and really focuses on your needs. He makes the session very practical, fun and engaging. Compared to a lot of other trainers, he is very professional, courteous and timely. He sends regular reminders for the upcoming sessions which helps a lot.
Andrew C – Google 5 star review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Patient, easy to book. Would recommend to anybody looming to pick up tennis or take it to the next level.
Rosalyn – Google 5 star review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Chris loves every lessons with Jay. Jay helps him improve in his form. Will definetely continue the lessons when we come back in September!
Arif – Google 5 star review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Been a privilege training with Jay. He is both a great tennis player and a brilliant coach who not only practices superb tennis technique but also understands the theory and the mechanics behind those techniques. As a first time tennis player, Jay’s training really helps me to get my stroke, foot work, and court awareness right from the start.
Off the court, Jay has great organizational skills, managing practice schedules and communicating with me and few of my practice-mates seamlessly. Overall, it has been a great experience learning tennis with Jay.
Lennard – Google 5 star review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Paul – Google 5 star review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Jay brings an uncommon combination of passion and patience, and is a joy to learn from. He is also a student of the game and loves nothing more than being on the court.
Thuva – Google 5 star review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Jay has been great at breaking down the details and building a learning structure that allows you to pick up the right technique easily. His emphasis on getting the right technique has impressed me a lot. He’s also good at articulating the concepts well and is very good at organising the day based on your needs.
Andrie – Google 5 star review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Jay is very helpful with tips and tricks of tennis. Sessions are always fun and fruitful each week. Look forward to become a proper tennis player through his insight!
Alvin P – Google 5 star review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great passionate coach, eager to share tips and ease the learning curve. Highly recommended.
Kunal – Google 5 star review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ As a professional you’ll find Jay very committed, organized and structured. No surprises and immaculate planning with calendars. As a person you’ll find him a hard working no-nonsense guy with a firm grasp on sports science concepts and it’s quite likely that you’ll start thinking very differently (and more logically) about the sport once you start working with Jay. Jay is an excellent, emphatic and very effective coach. I would very highly recommend Jay. And thank you for being awesome at your job Jay!
Vivian – Google 5 star review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Hi Jay I want to thank you for making a big difference to my son’s game. From his not getting into the school team then transforming into one of the schools top players in a short period of time.
Your understanding of the game, teaching methods, coaching for: aggressive net play, strategical and tactical winning play and the critical mental game is simply outstanding.
By just listening to what you teach him I have learnt so much, none of the many coaches in Singapore that I have come across even teach 10 percent as much.
Jay’s administrative communication is excellent, he always sends through via email so nothing is ever left to chance. He is very transparent with every single hour that he still has left available to book for a whole month in advance, which definitely makes it easy to get time to train every week. The terms and conditions for his lessons are clearly communicated before you commence and are copied in on my lesson booking confirmation email for every lesson that I book in.
Elena – Google 5 star review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Jay is an excellent tennis instructor, with his sports science and tennis background he really makes the lesson insightful by explaining and demonstrating through various technical movements which have helped improve my tennis. This is valuable knowledge which I can take away and practice.
Booking a lesson with Jay is so easy! His online booking is 1 month in advance. I booked 6 weeks in advance to better plan my trip to Singapore. I just emailed him to see if this was possible, he promptly replied and it was all booked. He also emails confirmation and reminders with terms and conditions and provides clear direction of where to meet.
The whole experience was excellent, highly recommended for anyone who wants to learn and improve their tennis game.
Anthony C – Google 5 star review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Jay always has such productive lessons. Last minute trip into Singapore and Jay was able to make time for me. Thanks for your professionalism and
organization. Can’t wait to be back again!
Edwin – Google 5 star review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Jay is a great coach, he helped me improve my tennis greatly. Highly recommended
Greg Y – Google 5 star review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Jay is simply awesome. By the end of my first lesson with him, my groundstrokes became much more solid, it was no longer just about getting power from my arms, it is now about engaging the rest of the body to generate the power and consistency. He is able to communicate proper stroke mechanics in a way I can understand. A superb technical coach and a teacher. 6 stars!
Zheyu – Google 5 star review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Coach Jay is great! He has an unique style of teaching comprising of both scientific knowledge (e.g. the concept behind the importance of applying his teaching) and technical applications. He can spot inaccuracies in my strokes and correct them quickly through various demonstrations. He is also efficient and reliable in setting up of the lesson bookings, clearly stating the terms and conditions, lesson reminders and prompt replies to my queries.
Jacklyn – Google 5 star review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Jay has definitely improved my level of playing significantly. I feel more confident when playing after every lesson. Can’t wait to get even better. His schedule is always heavily booked and that tells me that I’m not the only one who is benefitting from his training!
Ange – Google 5 star review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Jay has the knowledge and sharpness to dissect one’s game and convey enhancing recommendations. One can feel the difference very apparently and I am convinced minor accurate adjustments work wonders. Kudos Jay!
Alex – Google 5 star review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent coach, really knows what he is doing. My tennis has improved hugely in as few as 2 lessons. Also very quick to reply to messages. Would 100% recommend
Rene – Google 5 star review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Jay does a great job as tennis coach. His coaching and tennis knowledge is very profound and he really explains to why you should do your movements like he suggest. He is always on time and the court bookings are also very well organised. Can only recommend to go with him!!
Thomas B – Google 5 star review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Emphatic and straight forward. Knows what coaching tennis is about.
Marissa – Google 5 star review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I haven’t been playing tennis since the age of 12 and just started to get back on it the past few months and I must say that Jay is a fantastic coach! Training with Jay has helped me brush up on my skills a lot. He is very observant and corrects errors in your techniques in order for you to improve in each stroke. I highly recommend Jay to anyone that is willing to learn tennis and is on a lookout for a friendly, knowledgeable and great coach! 🙂
Gaiana – Google 5 star review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Jay is a great coach and I’ve improved with each lesson. He’s quick to spot and correct inaccuracies and able to break down and explain concepts effectively. In just 2 months I have gained much more confidence in my strokes.
Alvin T – Google 5 star review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Being a novice in tennis, i was at first apprehensive about approaching coaches for help. However, under Jay’s coaching, i could instantly understand why you will learn better and faster with appropriate and effective guidance as compared to other coaches and clinics. Within the first lesson, he corrected my stroke and i was surprised to be hitting the ball in the court more consistently! If you want to learn efficiently and without risking injury, Jay would be your best choice. On off-court matters, Jay has always been responsive with emails and scheduling of lessons. Booking of lesson is easy, fast, and fuss free. Plus, there are plenty of slots within the week for you to choose. Overall, i have enjoyed my lessons with Jay on the court without any off-court hassle. Thanks Jay.
Joseph – Google 5 star review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ I started taking lessons with Jay about 3 weeks ago and can’t recommend him more highly. My schedule does not allow me to take lessons regularly because I travel very heavily for work, but Jay is very flexible and fits me in when it works for me. He is very responsive, organized, and professional in his communication. I’ve been a big tennis enthusiast for 15 years but never had the opportunity to take private lessons. Pretty quickly Jay pointed out the areas of my game (which are a lot!!!) that are not technically correct, and I was amazed at how quickly his suggestions helped me see results. He has a very deep understanding of the biomechanics of tennis and how to efficiently generate power when striking the ball. My only disappointment is that I’ve not been able to have lessons with Jay more regularly, as I know that I would be experiencing even greater improvements.
Charles D – Google 5 star review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Jay has a unique coaching philosophy which challenges a lot of the conventional thinking in tennis. After a 20yr absence from the game I soon found myself playing at a higher level than where I left off. My only regret is that i didn’t discover Jay earlier. I would highly recommend him for both well seasoned players as well as beginners. My wife was in the latter category and she was rallying within two lessons. His online booking system is very convenient and he’s also flexible, we both needed to re-book several lessons, which he accommodated without hesitation. He also gave me a freebie after weather interrupted one of our sessions. I paid for my first lesson in cash and then we both booked the block of ten sessions which is easier on the wallet and helped us remain committed to seeing through the training. Thanks Jay, I’m back playing because of you.
Bobo’s 5 star Google review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I have been taking lessons from Jay for about 2 years. My first impression of him is that he is very positive and very focused. Although I picked up tennis when I was a kid, I stopped playing since my teenage time and my skills deteriorated a lot. At the end of my first lesson, he was able to tell me what I was doing wrong, how I could improve and where I should pay attention to. This precision in identifying my errors and weakness gave me confidence that I would become better if I continue my training. His coaching style is very easy to follow and his instructions and explanations are very logical. That enables me to remember the pointers, apply them to my game and thus appreciate the sport more. I’m happy to say that after several lessons with Jay, I could clearly see my improvement – my serves are way better, my forehand aims more accurately, my backhand is stronger and I can even score a few volley! Jay clearly loves what he does and that is very motivating. If you are looking for a passionate and qualified tennis coach, don’t hesitate to contact him – tell him that I send you 🙂
Shereen – Google 5 star review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Jay is the best tennis coach I have hired, my game has improved tremendously. I can hit better and stronger without incurring any more injuries. He made me realise all the traditional techniques I had acquired for the past 10 years were much less efficient and actually you are better off not having any lessons than learning and ingraining the wrong advice. His off court organisation and communication is fantastic. He makes it especially easy for you to book in your lessons and what all of the terms and conditions are for lessons. He is very quick to reply and even has a great online booking system which, also allows you to see what’s available every day for 1 month in advance. To make sure you don’t miss a lesson, you get a lesson booking confirmation email for each lesson that you confirm you’ll attend as well as 2 reminders for every lesson (which are really helpful to me!) I would definitely recommend him to anyone whom wished to up his/her game! The 10-hour lesson packages are the way to go as you get $200 discount each time you renew (versus the pay as you go rate) and you can lock in 10 lesson bookings in advance that best suit your schedule.
Jit – Google 5 star review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ For many years, I was unable to generate pace for my serve. It was quite a miracle that Jay was able to help me improve my serve within one session. Furthermore, I experienced shoulder strain if I were to serve continuously. With Jay’s correction, my shoulder feel good even after serving for 1 hour! My new service motion is a lot simpler and effortless but with a lot more pace. Thank you Jay!
Martha – Google 5 star review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Jay is a brilliant coach. I was lucky enough to chance upon him when I was looking for a new coach to help improve my tennis. After switching to his lessons I saw myself hitting better and more accurately. I have definitely been constantly improving throughout. He never fails to reply to any of my emails and does so promptly, especially when it rains. The online booking system makes booking lessons easy and sends reminders for upcoming lessons as well, which is great for busy people. He is also a great person to talk to about any of the current tennis matches! Definitely would recommend to anyone who wants to improve and even pick up the sport!
Thomas W – Google 5 star review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I highly recommend Jay as a tennis coach. Before taking lessons with Jay, I hadn’t been able to play frequently as it’d often resulted in joint pains, and had also reached a certain limit I simply couldn’t get past. Jay managed to quickly spot and correct errors in my technique and helped me correct them in a way that not only significantly improved my game – I can now confidently compete at a much higher level –, but also seemed to have removed the causes of recurring pain. Jay’s explanations are clear and well-founded. He has deep expertise in the ‘biomechanics’ of the sport, which has made a tremendous difference to how I now look at my game. He is also a passionate analyst and expert in tactics, which he is similarly able to break down in a simple, actionable manner. No matter what level of play, coaching with Jay is likely going to improve it.
Elizabeth – Google 5 star review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Just started playing tennis recently (after not touching a racket since being a kid) and was lucky enough to find Jay Davern in Singapore. Communication with Jay is quick and it’s super easy to connect and schedule. Best of all, he’s a really solid coach and gives great instruction on technique which makes it really fun because you improve quickly!
Antony – Google 5 star review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ As a limp wristed squash player, I have found Jay to be a very patient and professional coach. I also like the fact that his booking system is easy, his rules are fair and he navigates Singapore weather with aplomb. I have a package and also travel regularly for work, often with short notice, however Jay is very flexible with rescheduling. A great coach!
Melissa T – Google 5 star review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Aside from walking and cycling, I have had very limited experience playing sport. Jay is an incredibly patient coach and I feel comfortable in approaching Jay with my specific concerns. Over the last 7 months, I have not felt judged by Jay by my lack of skill nor the lack of time (or dedication) to practice unlike the previous experience I have had previously with another coach in Singapore. I have improved tremendously since my first lesson with Jay. Being a busy working professional, the fact that I am able to lock in a weekly time for lessons has made juggling lessons easier and forced a commitment to the lessons. Jay’s booking system and weekly calendar reminders for lessons also makes organising lessons a breeze especially if you’re playing as a group … or if you’re into just making your life a little more organised. From my experience, the thorough explanations by Jay at the outset regarding the bulk discount packages/one-off lessons and his coaching hours/court availability meant that I was completely clear on the arrangements and conditions regarding each option. With proper notice, Jay has been extremely accommodating and fair on the occasions where I have had to change my lessons around due to work commitments and holiday plans. Jay is also extremely prompt at responding and you are not left hanging (wondering if someone has received your message is the worst!). If you are thinking of trying Jay out as a coach, I cannot urge you enough to try him out. He is fantastic!
Elaine – Google 5 star review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A definite 5 star coach! So easy to book in lessons, I just got a spot today & tomorrow for this weekend plus a further lesson both days next weekend. Can’t wait Jay’s knowledge and practical advice for the student is second to none. It is miraculous what you can achieve in each lesson when you are prepared to openly take on his instructions and focus on applying them to your game. Clear communication both on and off court are key skills Jay possesses as well as great customer service. You definitely want to get the 10-hour lesson packages as you can then reserve 10 hours of lessons in advance when you want them. Not to mention, only then do you get the $200 discount because you buy in bulk. Try one lesson with Jay and you’ll definitely keep going back.
Patrick’s 5 star Google review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ During my first lesson with Jay it became very clear to me that, what I thought was good coaching in the past, was nowhere near the quality of coaching that Jay provides. He is an expert in pinpointing the exact cause of your errors. Better still, he always has the perfect correction that I need to implement. Amazingly, as soon as you apply his teaching it works immediately with significantly noticeable results. His off court organisation and communication is very professional and he makes it easy for you to book in your lessons and is clear on exactly what all of the terms and conditions are for lessons. Try one lesson with Jay and you’ll keep going back. Thanks Jay!
Eva – Google 5 star review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Jay is a great coach! When i moved to Singapore, i had tennis lessons for 7 months or so…in a couple of lessons with him, he gave me the right tips and techniques to improve and I was really impressed! He can adapt to any level, and it is super easy to book and have the reminders, check for available slots, etc…Really happy with it! Thank you Jay!
Melissa C – Google 5 star review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Jay is a great coach. After switching to his lessons I felt that I was hitting the balls more accurately and with a lot less effort than I did before. I have been improving ever since I started my first lesson with him. His replies are prompt and let’s you know if the lesson has to be cancelled due to rain and when is the next available date to reschedule. The online booking system makes booking lessons easy and sends reminders for upcoming lessons as well, which is great for busy people. Definitely would recommend to anyone who wants to improve and even pick up the sport.
Perry – Google 5 star review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ten minutes into my first lesson with Jay and three shots later, I was hitting the ball with more depth and power with less effort. Jay has an incredible knowledge when it comes to all things tennis, his understanding of the biomechanics of the swing and ability to apply that to improve my swing is unparalleled.
Kyoko – Google 5 star review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Jay was definitely the best tennis coach I’ve ever had! He broke everything down and actually had theory to what he was teaching. I’ve previously had private lessons before and came away from them feeling like I had a good workout but still wondering whether or not I was hitting the ball any better. Really appreciated Jay’s deliberate approach and attention to detail. You definitely know what you’re being taught is correct because when you apply it, you really notice the improvement right away! I wish I had learned this from the beginning of my tennis days as it’s so effortless and the strokes feel great. Like everything that’s worth doing, this is something I have to work at. But now it’s not so frustrating as I know exactly what I should be doing. Can’t wait for next time!
Nazirah – Google 5 star review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Jay is an amazing coach. Thanks for being patient and flexible with your schedule given our work demands. thanks for diarising our calendars so we never miss a training. A definite five star coach who takes the effort to get to know his students.
Linette – Google 5 star review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We are beginners who don’t have a lot of time to practice on our own. Jay has helped us improve our technique significantly and gives practical tips to help us improve our game so we can enjoy tennis more. About 9 months on, we can sustain a rally and have moved on from having a waiter’s serve. his off court communication is responsive and efficient as well. easy to work with.
Sri – Google 5 star review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent lesson with Jay – had a couple of sessions with him while visiting Singapore. Very focused, knowledgeable and brings across new movements/techniques in a very simple and clear way. Highly recommend his coaching – I will definitely be going back.
Thofique – Google 5 star review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Jay has a huge talent for coaching tennis and will make corrections to your technique that reap immediate benefits. His enthusiasm is infectious and he is extremely professional. He understands anatomy and nutrition and biomechanics and uses great examples to illustrate his teaching points. Get a lesson ASAP if you can!
Insiyah – Google 5 star review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Jay is dedicated and extremely professional, creating a great atmosphere for learning. I started out at zero, and I very much appreciate his keen observation of technique and immediate correction, with demonstration of ways to practice it better. He has great positive energy which makes every lesson enjoyable. He is able to teach, improve and challenge you to play at your best and improve- no matter what level of tennis you are currently at.
Ben – Google 5 star review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Jay is a great tennis coach. I have been taking lessons from him for about a year. My game has dramatically improved. Jay is one of the few coaches who has experience on the professional tour playing the same era as Mark Philipoussis so he has the depth of knowledge and experience to take your game as far as you can go. He also has professional sports science qualifications. His coaching style is based on sound technique drawing on his decades of experience as a tennis professional. Definitely worth the investment in taking lessons with Jay.
Des – Google 5 star review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I moved to Singapore 5 months ago and had a hard time finding a good coach. It was just luck that I found Jay and what a gem of a coach. I learned so much from him in just a few lessons especially the new techniques that he showed and taught me. Totally a breakthrough from my previous lessons. Also his You Tube videos helped me to follow and learn proper swings and body movement. Highly recommended.
Andrew – Google 5 star review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best tennis coach I’ve had so far. What Jay does different in my mind is his logical explanation of what the most efficient tennis stroke should be. He made sure that I clearly understood what the perfect form is first, which was really helpful. Unlike other coaches who would be telling me what I did wrong on each stroke, with Jay, I usually know what my mistake is before he points it out, because I am driven to think about perfect form on every stroke. Also, the form he explained to me, which logically makes a lot of sense, is less prone to injuries. My ball speed is as fast as before, but I don’t suffer from tennis elbow as I did in the past.
Una – LinkedIn recommendation: “I signed up with Jay for a tennis package a few months ago, as a mediocre player. Within 3 lessons, my game was transformed through his brilliant use of biomechanics which has basically re-crafted my technique. Jay is totally engaged throughout the lesson. He has laser vision, and can spot the tiniest of errors, be that grip or foot position. Having taken coaching for the last 5 years, I can say without hesitation that Jay is the best coach I’ve ever had. Patient, creative and an industrious. One hour’s tuition with Jay is better than 10 hours with any other coach I’ve had. Brilliant.”
Deirdre – LinkedIn recommendation: “Jay is an expert in tennis coaching; before I met him, I had a 6 month break with serious Rotator Cuff injury, caused by bad technique. I knew something was wrong so went to Jay who cured me in a few lessons from old (bad) habits. He also explained why I should alter my swing, what it does for my game; this has made me feel more confident as a player. He is still my coach. I admire his love for the work he does; he is passionate about tennis and extremely knowledgeable.”
Chris – LinkedIn recommendation: “I have recently signed up to a set of ten lessons with Jay having recently moved to Singapore. I hadn’t played for a good ten years and so really needed the help! He is a truly first class coach and despite my relatively basic standard he has given my game his full attention. He breaks down the stroke and really builds from scratch in a simple, highly effective way. He is able to spot the smallest errors, point them out and help build the technique and confidence to improve. Highly recommend him. He has even gone above and beyond the time in our lesson to arrange a new racket for me using his network. Top guy & top coach.”
Clitus – Google 5 star review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Jay is a fantastic tennis coach. I have been with him for a while and my game has certainly improved. His multiple years as a professional on the circuit clearly reflects in his coaching. He is observant and corrects errors in one’s technique almost immediately. I strongly recommend taking lessons from Jay.
Amitabh – LinkedIn recommendation: “Jay has taken my game to the next level! Initially, I was a bit sceptical on the degree of improvement to expect from the bio-mechanics based coaching Jay provides. But Jay’s ability to spot and tweak just one or two things for specific strokes turned my game into a very efficient and consistent one. I reached a 3.5 level after 1.5 years of coaching. 5 classes with Jay and I am now bordering 4, with my erstwhile coach complimenting my new found game. Needless to say he can help with the game tactics as well, which is a big bonus. You have to see him at work to believe this. I highly recommend any player willing to improve his/her game at any level to experience a session with him. Believe me, that session will only be the beginning of a great coaching relationship.”
Tze – Google 5 star review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Jay is an excellent tennis coach! He explained my game really accurately and was most helpful in pointing out areas for further improvement. He’s definitely a coach I’d recommend to any person who wants to improve his/her game! 5-star rating fully deserved!👌👍
Samuel – LinkedIn recommendation: Jay is an excellent coach with a great understanding of the most effective and efficient ways of teaching tennis. Transformed my stroke in 1 lesson! Would highly recommend whether a beginner or advanced.
Elan – LinkedIn recommendation: Jay – The best coach I have come across during my various trials in Singapore. I have signed up for a 10 hr session with him and immediately started feeling the positive difference with my strokes. A thorough professional who focuses more on the right techniques, basics and style and pin points the acute mistakes in our stroke production, foot work, swing etc. He is a no nonsense coach who values time and doesn’t waste a second on court. His timing of arriving to the class is as good as the timing of Roger Federer’s half volley takes on the base line 🙂 I still have some distance to cover in order to reach where I want to be and looking forward to continue my session with Jay to get there.
Jolyn – LinkedIn recommendation: Jay is one of the few rare persons I’ve met who is completely committed to the cause of advancing tennis: as a coach wanting his students to excel, mastery of the techniques and mental perseverance, but also to the sport itself and its promotion in Singapore. I feel that I’ve improved much under his coaching, but equally as important I feel that I’ve gained much in terms of learning to overcome the mental obstacles and confidence hurdles that one has when learning something new. All this, Jay does patiently and each time with a smiley face. I’d recommend Jay to anyone wishing to pick up tennis.
John – Google 5 star review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I have been having lessons with Jay for 2+ years after learning of Jay through a referral and haven’t looked back. Lessons are tailored to your requirements and along with consistently improving all aspects of my game I have also learnt efficient use of my body via biomechanic coaching. Jay is very flexible and reliable and the sessions are of course fun. I highly recommend Jay whatever your level.
Chioh – Google 5 star review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Dear Friends, Most of you know i love tennis and have been playing it for a very long time. Throughout this period, i underwent several coaching sessions whenever i felt i needed to bring my game up another level. Last month i completed another such course under an Australian coach named Jay Davern. Jay was an ex pro himself, and had coached pretty illustrious names of which some of you may still remember on the ATP tennis tour. You also know that personally i am very detailed on playing techniques and i push hard. Over the years i met several coaches and played them as well, some good and some so-so. Jay is the highest qualified coach in Singapore and he also trains other coaches as well. Do check out Oncourt Advantage for more details of his coaching sessions. I loved my recent sessions that were full of logic,science, technique and most of all, basic common sense. I learnt simplicity, clarity of strokes and most importantly, got rid of some bad habits accumulated over the years. I think my game has taken on another level. There are a lot of you playing good tennis out there, and some of you may feel you are kind of plateauing right now. Or some of you are eager to pick up this sport. Jay is the most patient of coaches i have met so far and he makes it so simple to comprehend, unlike many others who use complicated ways to show unnecessary sophistication. Do check out Jay and as a friend to friend, you are gonna love tennis again!
Andreas – LinkedIn recommendation: I have recently started playing tennis again after a break of 15 years. After having lessons with Jay, I realised that allot of the technique that I had been taught may not have been the best for my game or my body. After 5 lessons, I have seen a huge improvement in my game and each additional lesson brings greater stroke play and more enjoyment. I have no hesitation in recommending Jay to anyone that is looking to take up tennis. He has a great way with clients and is very passionate about tennis. In addition, his teaching style looks to try and make sure you are doing the right things with your body. Hopefully avoiding the common ailments of tennis players. Thanks Jay.
Ron – LinkedIn recommendation: I had the great pleasure of learning from Jay Davern this past couple of weeks while vacationing in Singapore. I found Jay through an online search for tennis coaches in Singapore. Being an active tennis player I did not want to go more than a few days without a proper hit or a coaching session. Jay did that and more for me. He worked with a laundry list of my weaker points of the game, took some of the ingrained methods and gave it a fresh new perspective, all the while taking the time to explain in great detail the benefits of making these changes. I wish I could have taken many more lessons with Jay than the 5 I signed up for but my time in Singapore was coming to an end. I felt like I had just got the hang of some of these changes but not owning them yet prior to leaving. However, I left with the goal of using all that Jay taught me and putting them into practice. This morning, I showed up for my regular Tuesday morning practice at the club and consciously applied Jay’s lessons. It took me a while to get things going however, towards the end of the 90 minute session, I can safely say I was hitting better serves, better volleys off my backhand, better poaching than I have done before and overall, I was seeing the ball much earlier, had better preparation and missed far less balls than I used to. This is only the start of a new phase for me but I think it’s been a positive start and I can’t thank Jay enough for his coaching and guidance. For those of you players who are interested, I have been playing tennis for 40 years, compete regularly in USTA mens and mixed doubles leagues at the 4.0 level and I thought I was a decent player until I met Jay. He can teach and improve any player of any level so much more…. Looking forward to my next trip to Singapore.
Regina – LinkedIn recommendation: I am into my 5th session with Jay and each session is an eye opener. He has this ability to flick the switch in you by breaking things down into not only bite size but customized visual that allows one to ‘see’ things quickly. Jay is constantly providing constructive feedback throughout the session, making me think, visualize and make the necessary correction as I go so that I hit balls that count instead of hitting endless balls that does nothing. With his help, I realized things that I am not doing which I thought I have been doing and also things I am doing which I thought I am not doing… This definitely changes how I play, although not quite there yet but there is hope 🙂 Many more eureka moments I am sure…. Thanks Jay.
Eliza – LinkedIn recommendation: “I’ve just only had my 3rd lesson with Jay, but already started to feel the consistency & the common sense (for minimizing injury), of the corrections he’s been building into my strokes. Am looking forward to my next few lessons, and definitely will introduce to any friends interested in learning tennis!”
