Tennis is a game of technique and Oliver is a master technician. I can honestly say that the two lessons I had with him impacted my game so much. The modifications he suggests are easy to put into practice. I only wish I could have had more lessons with him. He had a lot of energy and works so hard... More

I recently spent a week In St Martin and booked three one hour lessons with Oliver. He has the patience of Job and helped my game immensely. He quickly pointed out the "bad habits" learned over the years and worked with me to correct them. I hope I can keep up the good lessons he taught me! I wish Oliver... More

We have utilized American Tennis Academy twice during our trips to St Martin. First was two years ago in the off season month of July and this past March spring break. Both times we have had very pleasant experiences with our host Jennifer. For March we played tennis three times during our week long stay as it was our only... More

My wife and I went on a cruise and specifically planned playing tennis in the ports. We wanted to take a lesson and everything was scheduled. Unfortunately, our boat changed schedules and we had to scramble to have our tennis changed. Oliver was very accommodating and we were rescheduled without any hiccups. Now, for the lesson itself. My wife is... More

I switched from right handed tennis to left handed tennis. Oliver taught me smart short cuts and smart tennis. Spend court time with Oliver and improve your game. He is serious about tennis. He is a very good Teacher.

I scheduled a one hour tennis lesson for my wife with the tennis pro, Oliver Becaud during our trip to St Martin. Oliver (and his wife, Jennifer) were very cordial, personable and professional. Tennis pros have different styles of teaching. Oliver is more of a technician than anything....and a good one at that. During the lesson, Oliver helped my wife... More

If you are like most, you'll read a few opening lines of this review so let me cut to the chase: if you find yourself in St. Martin and if you like tennis, reserve a lesson (well in advance) with Oliver Becaud as he is unequivocally one of the best technical instructors around -- period. If you want to hear... More

Having been a former instructor who hadn't played in years, I was looking for an instructor in St. Martin to rebuild and modernize my tennis. My concern was that Oliver would waste my time by either dismantling what I knew to be good about my tennis or by teaching me new bad habits. My concerns were quickly put to rest!... More

After 20 lessons from Oliver I can't say enough good things about him and the lovely Jennifer. I was a complete beginner with no experience and have had a great experience. Oliver is a perfectionist and wouldn't let me away with anything, while he was direct, tough and frank he was also very encouraging and funny. He picks up on... More

If you are on St. Martin do not pass up the chance to take a lesson from Oliver. He and Jennifer are both fantastic and the facility is excellent!
