"My son John-Martin spent one school year at Merchiston and the Tennis Academy. Pretty much from day one, John was taken by the professionalism and personal qualities of the Academy. Great technical training is one (very important) thing, but the personal touch and insight is such a vital part of helping young players achieve their best. This is one thing that the Academy, and its Head Coach Marcel Du Coudray, truly excel in.
Probably the most painful part of leaving Merchiston for John was losing a great trainer and a fantastic Tennis Academy."
'"Our son James joined the Tennis Academy in 2007 with Marcel du Coudray. He was able to play a high level of tennis whilst still maintaining his academic standard. He is now at University in America on a tennis scholarship - something which would have been difficult to achieve without the involvement of MCS".
"The Academic support that Alice receives from St George's is outstanding. From the planning of her academic timetable through to the support she receives from her teachers on a daily basis, whether at school or away competing, all aspects of her education are covered. The teachers, in addition, seem to have a real empathy with Alice's situation and the demands that are placed upon her which, from a parent's point of view, is very reassuring. Having spoken to many other 'tennis parents' regarding education, the academic support Alice receives is second to none. Whilst excelling at tennis she is also achieving her academic goals."
