About Ricky
I have over 20 years of basketball experience and a strong passion for helping players improve their skills, confidence, and understanding of the game. My lessons are friendly, structured, and adapted to each student’s level, whether they are complete beginners, young players, or adults looking to develop their basketball ability.
I focus on teaching the fundamentals properly, including dribbling, shooting, passing, footwork, defence, movement, and basic game tactics. I believe confidence is just as important as technique, so I always create a positive and supportive environment where students feel comfortable learning, asking questions, and making mistakes.
Each lesson is planned around the student’s goals and pace. I explain skills clearly, demonstrate drills, give practical feedback, and help students understand how to use what they learn in real game situations.
I offer flexible basketball lessons around London and can adjust the location, schedule, and lesson style depending on the student’s needs. My goal is to make every session enjoyable, useful, and motivating while helping each player improve step by step.
When you miss a shot, it’s natural to feel a bit frustrated and wonder, ‘Why did I miss that?’ However, for beginners who have only just started playing basketball, the joy and excitement of improving lie ahead. A wonderful experience awaits them, and the thrill of it is so intense that it will make them forget all about that missed shot in an instant.
I believe that providing them with that experience is my most important role.

My approach to basketball tutoring is focused on building strong fundamentals, confidence, and game understanding in a fun and supportive environment. I tailor each lesson to the student’s level, goals, and experience, whether they are complete beginners, casual players, or looking to improve their skills more seriously.
Lessons usually include ball handling, shooting form, passing, footwork, defence, fitness, and basic game tactics. I also focus on helping students understand how to move on the court, make better decisions, and develop confidence during real game situations.
I can also teach you techniques that are difficult to visualise on platforms like YouTube. If you’d like, I can film your playing style and provide immediate feedback.
Shooting form
How to hold the ball
Rebounding
Off-the-ball play
A typical lesson is around 60 minutes, but I can be flexible depending on the student’s needs and availability. I have over 20 years of basketball experience and enjoy helping players improve step by step through clear explanations, practical drills, and positive feedback.
My lessons are suitable for children, teenagers, and adults, from complete beginners to intermediate players. I am available around London and can be flexible with location and schedule.
Review
All of our reviews are collected by us and are 100% reliable. They correspond to real lessons experienced by the students of Ricky.
Perfect! I really enjoyed my first session with Ricky. He was friendly, patient and created a relaxed environment from the start. He took the time to assess my shooting, filmed my technique so I could see my form, and gave me simple but effective advice on my stance that immediately improved my balance, power and shot control. I appreciated his encouragement throughout the session and would definitely recommend him to anyone looking to develop their basketball skills in a supportive environment.

Ricky has been an excellent teacher for my 11-year-old son. Even after 3 months, my son is just as excited as he was on the first day and always looks forward to his lessons. Thanks to him.
I highly recommend Rikito sensei for those who want to learn and bring their Japanese to the next level. If you are after boosting conversation skills or preparing for JLPT or actually understanding nuances of Japanese grammar, whatever it is, Rikito will get you covered! I always personally struggle with applying new words/ expressions and grammar to practice and then making sure that I use it frequently enough to make it sink in my head. That is why am so glad that Rikito creates an environment where he proactively encourages students through exercises, conversations and fun games to do so. Besides, he is an extremely understanding and patient tutor, he has a very fun personality and you get to know more about cultural differences too! I feel confident that with Rikito I can become more fluent in Japanese across all aspects, vocabulary/ kanjis, grammar, speaking and listening!
Perfect! Rikito is a very reliable Japanese tutor who can tailor lessons to your individual needs. If you're thinking of taking the JLPT exams he will make sure you are well prepared. He can also help you in improving your speaking, reading, grammar, etc using his own original materials. Rikito is also a very accommodating and patient teacher. Whenever I've struggled with a particular section, he's always been encouraging and kind, making things easier to understand. He is very skilled at keeping his students motivated, lessons are well-paced, and I've significantly improved my Japanese with him as my teacher. His lessons are fun, engaging, and well thought out as he clearly tailors them to me. Rikito also helped me to prepare for my recent trip to Japan by teaching me essential phrases, and providing other language tips which really helped me survive for the three weeks I was there! I'm more confident in my ability and look forward to studying and improving with Rikito. ありがとう先生!!
