Gorin Tennis

I’ve been attending beginner tennis group classes at Gorin Tennis Bellevue for the past few months and it’s been a great experience. Highly recommend for anyone starting out in tennis! Coach Gulcin is incredibly patient, supportive, and knowledgeable. She even helped me with racquet recommendations, explaining the importance of proper grip size and racquet weight. Coach Omer’s classes are always fun and enjoyable, making learning tennis really exciting. Coach Nina is amazing at helping you improve and gives great individual attention even in group classes. I just hope the class length increases back to 1.5 hrs, as the sessions are so engaging that an hour feels too short.

We’ve had a great experience at Gorin Tennis Academy. The coaches are professional, attentive, and truly care about the kids. Training is well structured, but at the same time the atmosphere is positive and supportive, which is very important for children. What I really appreciate is how the coaches know when to push and when to encourage. My child has grown a lot here — not only in tennis skills, but also in confidence, focus, and love for the game. You can see real progress over time. It feels like a place where kids are taken seriously as athletes, but still treated with kindness and respect. We’re very happy to be part of this academy and would definitely recommend it to other families.

Highly recommend coach Lucas Soares for adult private lessons and groups. He's been my coach for years and has helped me considerably improve my game. He always puts considerable effort in planning and personalizing sessions based on your specific needs, and even communicates all your tennis training info to fully prepare substitute coaches on the rare occasions that he can't make a lesson. Lastly, besides his top tier tennis coaching, Lucas is also unmatched in his schedule organization and commitment. While I've had many issues with other coaches rescheduling or even cancelling at the last minute, Lucas always gave me ample notice and ensured a substitute was available to avoid disrupting my schedule. I really appreciate this level of professionalism.

Lucas Soares is a brilliant coach for my daughter on many levels. His technical knowledge is very impressive. All aspects of my daughter's game have strengthened over the last couple of years with his guidance. He works hard to understand strengths and weaknesses of her game and to focus work on areas which will maximize the benefits of every lesson over time. She is more precise with her strokes and has expanded the range of shots she can confidently hit. Lucas also has great rapport with her. He is friendly, nice and fun. We've been very lucky to have great coaches like Lucas Soares from Gorin.

I’ve had a great experience training at Gorin Tennis Bellevue. The facility is well-organized, the coaching quality is consistently high, and the environment is friendly and supportive for players at all levels. I want to especially mention Lucas, who has been an outstanding coach. He brings a lot of energy, patience, and clear instruction to every lesson. Lucas pays attention to details, gives thoughtful feedback, and genuinely cares about helping students improve. You can clearly see the effort he puts into each session and how invested he is in everyone’s progress. I’ve seen noticeable improvement in my technique and confidence thanks to his guidance. Highly recommend Gorin Tennis Bellevue, and definitely recommend taking lessons with Lucas!
