Thank you for your interest in pool instruction.

I focus on teaching fundamentals and offer coaching/tips for 8-ball and 9-ball. 

I am currently a Member of the Family of SPF Instructors, and  a Certified BCA Instructor which is the second level of four levels of instructors. Also I have reciprocal certification as an Certified Instructor/Coach with American Cuesports Alliance and I am certified as a P.A.T. Examiner. PAT is a training and testing system of playing ability from Europe.

My  teaching method, materials and information, are based upon my instructor training at Master's Pool School in Dallas, Texas, a BCA Master Academy and home of the SPF family of certified instructors.

My instructor training had heavy emphasis on fundamentals which I teach in the context of over  forty years playing experience.

SPF stands for Set, Pause, Finish, Freeze and is the language used to describe a natural pendulum pool stroke, which I teach.

For private instruction, I recommend starting with an intro to SPF Fundamentals which is a detailed lesson on grip, bridge, stance, stroke, etc.

It takes about six hours of private instruction to complete SPF fundamentals. For an outline click on SPF Fundamentals at the top of this page.

Private lessons are usually 2 hours per session.

If you want to make an appointment for a private lesson, select the lesson option you want on the Classes/Rates page and contact me  by email at Tom@beginnersmindpool.com  or phone, 415-577-1520 to schedule your lesson.

I will send you a confirmation email when your payment is received. Full payments are refundable less deposit.
Regular teaching hours for classes and lessons are every afternoon, noon to 4 PM, at Family Billiards.

Let me know any questions.

Pool is more fun when you play better!
