One of our best tutors. Quality profile, experience in their field, verified qualifications and a great response time. Mak will be happy to arrange your first Tennis lesson.

About Mak

Achievements:

* Ranked 3rd in Malaysia for National Juniors boys under 18
* ⁠NTRP 5.0, around UTR 10 rating
* ⁠Johor Ex-SUKMA Tennis Player
* District and Johor State, MBPJ and Melaka closed Singles Champion
* Podium placement for LIGAS(1st) and KOTAM(2nd) doubles league
* ⁠2nd place in UKM Tennis Festival 2019 for team event
* Representing Sunway Lagoon Club for Interclub Competitions

I am committed to bringing the best out of my students. The most important thing is that you enjoy playing tennis, whatever level you are at. Students must also be able to commit to at least one lesson per week in order to improve.

About the lesson

My classes are tailored for all levels:

* ⁠1 on 1 lesson: Private coaching. Recommended for beginners to learn proper technique. RM170/hour
* 2 on 1 lesson: Coaching 2 students. Recommended for students around the same level who want to learn how to play with other players. RM200/hour
* Pickleball lessons are also provided, same cost as above.

For complete beginners I recommend starting with red ball tennis using red training balls. Suitable for kids and adults. I also teach pickleball for kids as a starting point leading up to tennis. Pickleball and tennis share similar techniques. Besides that, a pickleball court is a good place to start for kids as the court is smaller and usually it is indoor. Red ball tennis sessions can be conducted in pickleball courts.

Equipment Provided:

* Spare rackets if needed
* Balls and basket
* Ball pickers

Students only need to bring water and wear shoes for the lesson. I mostly teach at condominium courts or at clubs for now. Please let me know your location and if you have an available court, so that I can arrange the class for you. Additional details about the lesson are provided below.

Perfect! Mak is patient and easy to learn from. He also makes sure I don't reinforce bad habits as I learn the movements, and I feel on track. Lessons are enjoyable and I always feel slightly improved after every lesson. Would definitely recommend him.

Mak's response
This is Paul’s first time picking up tennis. He has been training hard and is able to perform both forehand and backhand well. The next step will be to rally and start training both footwork and the serve. I hope he keeps training hard and find friends to play with socially.

Perfect! I had a really fruitful and enjoyable session with Mak. He is very clear and patient in his teaching, and he did a great job demonstrating the proper techniques in a way that was easy for me to understand and follow.

As a beginner, I learned the fundamentals of tennis, including forehand, backhand, and footwork techniques. He was also attentive to my form and provided useful corrections throughout the session, which helped me understand what I was doing wrong and how to improve.

Overall, I really enjoyed the session and felt that I made good progress in each of my lessons. Mak is a skilled and encouraging coach, and I would definitely recommend him to anyone who is looking to learn tennis, especially beginners.

Mak's response
Syaakir has just started learning tennis. As this is his first time I’m focusing on his forehand technique to make sure his basics are all there. From there he can start practicing by himself on the wall, and slowly move on to learning the backhand. I like his eagerness to learn and ask questions. I hope he keeps working hard during lessons and his own practice sessions.

Perfect! I was apprehensive at first, to pick up a racquet after 30yrs of not playing. I've not had a tennis coach since my late teens. Mak has been fantastic in re-introducing me to the game. His friendly demeanour, and style of coaching makes training sessions fun. I'm also delighted at how fast I'm getting my form and game back. He says it's muscle memory. I believe it's good coaching.

Mak's response
Giri was an active junior tennis player, competing in school and district level tournaments. He now wants to pick up tennis again as a hobby in his adult years. In 2 lessons he got back his forehand. As for his backhand I'm encouraging him to switch from a one-handed to a two-handed backhand for more consistency. I hope he will continue to improve during the lessons and maybe start playing socially with other players.

Mak's response
Tyng Huei has been playing for about a year and is already an advance intermediate player, competing in league matches. He just needs to learn to build points by rallying deep and attacking short balls. Practicing in match situations will help him gain more experience as he already has strong fundamentals.

Mak's response
Shanthini and her partner just took their first lesson. Both of them showed enthusiasm and an eagerness to learn the proper strokes. During the first lesson they were able to perform a modern forehand. While it will take them some time to build up a consistent rally, with continuous commitment to lessons, I know they will get there!

Perfect! After more than 20 years since playing tennis in high school, I’ve finally picked up my racquet again — and it feels amazing! I’m so excited and energized to be back on the court. Huge thanks to Coach Mak, who’s been absolutely the best — patient, encouraging, and great at guiding me step by step to regain my strokes and swing.

I would highly recommend Coach Mak to anyone who wants to learn or practice tennis. He’s such a flexible coach who easily adapts to each student’s level and needs. Every lesson brings back the fun and passion I’ve always loved about tennis!

Mak's response
Jeremy already has strong fundamentals in his game. But he hasn’t played for a while. So I’m currently working on changing his forehand to a more modern style. He already has a good backhand. I am confident he can upgrade his forehand as he has shown a willingness to learn and try new things.

Mak's response
I have been coaching Shin Ma for 5 hours. He had been playing for a while, though he had no formal coaching previously, and we went back to basics to review certain fundamentals. Within this period, his forehand and backhand have improved a lot. I hope he continues working hard as he is on the right track now.

Perfect! I had the pleasure of taking lessons with Mak for almost two months. During this period, we mainly worked on footwork, developing consistency and depth on the groundstrokes, and also on the serve (flat and slice). I found Mak's lessons to be informative, well-structured, and fun. Mak himself is an approachable person and nice to work with. Overall, I would highly recommend him as a coach to anyone looking to improve their tennis further!

Adam has already played tennis for some time but has shown a willingness to improve further on his technique especially on his serve. He has improved his serve so he just needs to practice more by himself. Overall he works hard on the court and I hope he continues his improvement.

Mak's response
I enjoyed teaching Su as she was very committed in learning and relearning her tennis technique, even though she had already played a few times already. Within those two weeks her tennis improved a lot and she could already play from the baseline. I hope she can continue to improve from playing by herself.

Learn more about Mak

What age did you start playing sport? Tell us about this time or moment in your life.
I started tennis at a young age around 5 years old. I have 3 brothers and we were all coached by my dad to compete in school and state level tournaments around Malaysia. Playing tennis competitively requires long hours of training, both mental and physical. I'm grateful that my dad spent his time to train us up from that age as we become fully developed players as adults.
What are your favorite sports; those that you practice at a high level, a simple hobby, and a sport that you'd still like to discover?
Tennis will always be my first sport and it has taught me many valuable lessons. Because of my tennis training I'm able to play other racket sports such as pickleball. Currently I'm competing in and also coaching pickleball. The sport is now very popular in Malaysia, with so many players and courts that are available in Subang Jaya. For me pickleball is a good entry level sport for tennis as they are similar and most techniques can be carried over from tennis to pickleball and vice versa. I use it to teach kids to be able to contact the ball with the pickleball paddle while developing their tennis technique.
What gives you the motivation and passion to pursue your sport?
For me tennis is a life sport that can be played until your old age. I have some senior students still playing in their 60s and 70s at a high level and hope to be able to play the sport until I'm old. I also enjoy playing matches and hope to still be able to compete in tournaments even when I'm older.
Do you have a sporting achievement that you're particularly proud of?
Winning my first singles competitions outside of Johor state in the Melaka and MBPJ closed tournament. And reaching a national ranking of 3rd in Malaysia for the under 18s category.
How have your achievements and challenges made you a better sportsperson?
Playing competitions has made me more resilient when it comes to challenges. I learnt to never give up and play my matches until the end. The same also applies to life. To keep moving forward and to learn from your past. That's how we improve from challenges.
If you had to go for a jog with a famous athlete, who would you choose? And what questions would you ask them?
I would choose Novak Djokovic and I would like to ask him what keeps him playing at the highest level when he has already won almost everything. I think he just enjoys playing for the challenge and to keep testing himself.
How do you help people stay motivated?
I tell my beginner students to just focus on the process, don't be too concern about the results yet. The most important thing is to enjoy the journey and to focus on improving themselves.
What makes you a Superprof in sports?
Never give up and keep moving forward, whether in tennis or life.

Superprof Tennis Ambassador. Ranked 3rd for national juniors in Malaysia. I am an ITF certified coach with 30 years of playing/coaching experience. Please check out my Youtube video at the bottom.
