Private 1-to-1 tennis coaching and English with James Corden-Lloyd.
Not every client fits a camp schedule. Book a dedicated session built around your game — technique, tactics, movement or match mindset — and add private ESL / ESP English lessons if you want them, on court or in the classroom.
Direct booking with James: Cebu / Asmara Resort, and Jakarta when he is travelling. Coach network only: Manila, Oxford, Sussex and Gibraltar. Due to a private family agreement, James does not teach private lessons in Manila — he can only recommend trusted assistant coaches. In Oxford, Sussex and Gibraltar his focus is on camps, so private sessions there are arranged through the same approved coach network.
Cebu / Asmara Resort — direct booking
Parents and students can book James or the assistant coach for one-to-one sessions at the Topball campus. Optional classroom English can follow tennis.
Jakarta, Indonesia — when James is travelling
James has a training base in Jakarta and can take private 1-to-1 sessions there when his travel schedule allows. Enquire with your dates and he will confirm availability.
Manila, Oxford, Sussex, Gibraltar & Hong Kong — coach network
Any city outside Cebu and Jakarta is handled through James’s vetted coach network. He matches you with a trusted coach, confirms availability and rates, and arranges the first session. In Manila this is strictly recommendations-only: due to a private family agreement, James does not teach private lessons there himself. In Oxford, Sussex and Gibraltar his own attention is reserved for camps, so private sessions there are also arranged through approved network coaches.

James was introducing pickleball to his tennis academy in Johor, Malaysia in 2020, was certified as an International Federation of Pickleball World Ambassador that December, and is endorsed by Farrell Choo, founder of the Malaysia Pickleball Association — the man who brought pickleball to Malaysia in 2019.
“Having introduced pickleball to Malaysia in 2019, I have watched the sport grow from its earliest days here, and James has been part of that journey almost from the start.”
Farrell Choo
Founder and Ex-President, Malaysia Pickleball Association
