We had a great 2 days working and learning from Samm. She was very patient, knowlegeable, understood that it was going to take some time and practice to break bad habits. Samm understood that we all have different body mechanics/types/shapes and offered different ways of doing/making the shot. She offered ways to remind ourselves to trust the process. Pea-nut butter and..jelly, and park in the garage. She encouraged and was genuinely happy when we made a good correction and kept doing it correctly.  Samm answered questions with enthusiasm. No question was a dumb question. She is funny, friendly and easy to talk to. We would ABSOLUTELY work and learn more from Samm again. If she ever has any bootcamps in our are, we will be signing up. Beginners, mid level and high level players can all learn something from Samm. I highly recommend her classes. Thank you again! Best of wishes!😁 💞 Eric and Wendy Barker

I highly recommend taking lessons with Samm! She is incredibly knowledgeable about pool and, just as importantly, has a real gift for teaching. The lesson was well organized, easy to follow, patient, and a lot of fun. She explained concepts in a way that made them easy to remember, and the memory tricks, videos, and note book she gave me were excellent resources for reinforcing what I learned after the lesson. I left feeling motivated, with plenty of practical skills to work on. Now it’s off to practice!

Excellent coaching session with Samm. I’ve been playing pool off and on for many years but only recently got a bit serious and joined a league. Quickly realized that my fundamentals were flawed. Samm is an excellent coach and helped with everything from stance to grip to aim. Very practical and useful. Highly recommend.

I recently had a private lesson with Samm, and I found her to be very knowledgeable and professional. She has the ability to explain and demonstrate things in a manner that is very easy to understand for a beginner or advanced player. This, along with her knowledge of the game, makes her an outstanding instructor, and I can recommend her services unequivocally.

I just finished a 2-day coaching session with Samm Diep, and honestly, it completely changed my game and the way I think about pool. I’ve been playing for 30+ years and felt like I had hit a plateau. I knew something was missing, but I didn’t know what to work on next. Samm immediately identified fundamental issues that I had carried for decades. She completely reconstructed my stance, fixed my chicken-wing, corrected my eye alignment, and taught me the importance of “parking the car in the garage” — concepts that instantly made me more consistent and confident at the table. What impressed me most wasn’t just her incredible knowledge and expertise, but the way she teaches. Samm brings so much care, kindness, positivity, and encouragement to every moment. She has a way of making you feel comfortable while still pushing you to improve. It was also obvious how respected and loved she is in the pool community. Walking through Felt with Samm, everyone stopped to say hello or talk with her for a moment. That says a lot about the kind of person she is. I have no doubt that, like me, people leave lessons with Samm feeling like they didn’t just find an amazing coach — they found a friend. I’m absolutely going back for more lessons to keep leveling up my game. Thank you, Samm!

Alan and I had a great learning experience with Samm. She is a great instructor, easy to understand and takes the time to explain things. We plan on repeat visits in the future.

From the start, Samm made me feel comfortable and at ease. I had never had formal instruction before, so I appreciated that we began with the fundamentals of bridge, grip, and stance. She explained not just what to do, but why it matters. She also adjusted those fundamentals to fit my size and range of motion rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. She was patient and encouraging throughout the lesson, which made it easy to focus and absorb the details. One concept that really stood out was developing a consistent pre-shot routine and approaching each shot the same way every time. That idea alone made me realize how many unnecessary variables I had been introducing. After the lesson, she provided detailed notes and video of me hitting a few shots, which was incredibly helpful. She also gave me a set of practice shots appropriate for my level, so I left with a clear plan and direction. I am very much looking forward to my next lesson.

My online pool lesson with Samm was honestly one of the best decisions I’ve made for my game. She is incredibly patient, understanding, and truly knows how to teach in a way that makes everything click. Instead of just fixing small mistakes, she helped me rebuild my fundamentals from the ground up — the right way. Her attention to detail, clear explanations, and supportive approach made the entire experience both comfortable and motivating. I walked away not only with better mechanics, but with more confidence and a deeper understanding of the game. If you’re even thinking about scheduling a lesson with her, do it. You absolutely won’t regret it.
