"Very helpful and will explain things deeply.

Hi! I'm Nicole, a former junior tournament player. I have over 5 years coaching all ages and levels, from beginners who are just learning the basic strokes to tournament players working on strategy, conditioning, and mental toughness. Should you wish to train with me, I will make a personalized lesson plan to help you achieve your specific goals according to your level, experience, and desired time commitment. As a coach, I believe it is important to develop all parts of a tennis player. Sportsmanship, mental toughness, and strategy are as integral to a strong player just as much as the strokes and physical elements of the sport. If that sounds like something you are interested in for yourself or for your children, please reach out. Tennis provides lifelong rewards, and I look forward to being a part of your tennis journey.

"Very warm and knowledgeable. Has been teaching for a long time and it shows. I’m booking another class with her.

Hello! I’m Seth. I love playing and teaching others golf. I have 16 years of golfing experience starting with high school competitive play and lessons with several coaches. Anything golf related you want to know, I should have the answer. I focus on swing fundamentals, theory, and game management. For absolute beginners, the goal is to never miss the ball. For the more intermediate players, the goal is to develop a consistent repeatable shot pattern. For advanced players, the goal is to be able to shape the ball on command and control ball flight.

"great instructor that explains things well and knows his stuff!

"Definitely worth every penny , Correcting all the little things in doing wrong and out of sync this was my 2nd lesson and I’m able to place the ball where I want if I follow everything he’s taught me .

I have not coached the game. I have been playing this game on streets on grass on sand , can name it all! Though when I got an injury and couldn't play, my teammates asked to manage them when they were out playing and I took the honor in doing that and learnt a lot! In game coaching as I was captain of my team playing in Lebanon and Nigeria. Moved recently to orange county and can see the lack of soccer culture, and I am so ready to help in that!

"Abdel is always super patient with my 6yo and did exactly what I asked, make learning fun. Couldn’t recommend him more highly.
