Thanks to Jörg, we were able to noticeably improve our tennis level day by day! In addition to refining our strokes, we were also able to improve our tactical understanding based on catchy rhythm exercises. Jörg is a very experienced tennis instructor and knows how to respond to each individual, from making rough corrections to changing subtleties. But the fun is not neglected either. We would love to come back! Alain

I have already visited the Tennis College Fuerteventura several times. Jörg the head coach is an excellent coach. The training is built up individually. Small corrections can massively improve your game. Every year I am thrilled that I have improved again after my vacation. Many thanks to Jörg! See you next year! Best regards Tony

Incredible Tennis Teacher Jörg in Fuerteventura and worldwide - I go here just for him and his lessons. I have been already 4 times in Fuerteventura in the last 13 months because of this great teacher I found there. Jörg is a former tennis professional and he is really able to improve your skills already in the first 10 minutes!!! It is really amazing. Usually I ask him and his coaches for at least 2 hours a day for all my holidays. By far the Best Ever Tennis Teachers I had in my life. Likely he lives in Fuerteventura, a nice place to visit! I usually practice in Corralejo but I know he works everywhere.
