Private Lessons & Coaches in Berkeley, CA

I help beginners and improving players build clean fundamentals, better footwork, and real confidence on court. My lessons are clear, encouraging, and structured so you improve fast without feeling overwhelmed. I’m a medical student focused on sports medicine. I lost 80 pounds of fat by playing tennis and built real athleticism along the way. I coach beginners to intermediates with a biomechanics-first approach: I’m all about footwork, placement and positioning, timing, and joint-friendly power. First lesson includes a quick assessment, 1 to 2 key fixes, and a drill plan for your next solo hit.

"I struggled with my serve for the longest time. That changed finally when I got lessons from Arjan. He analyed how I currently hit so as to maximally help improve my serve and return without overcomplicating. I could finally toss the ball for a clean serve after many many drills! Highly recommended

With over 10 years of experience teaching mathematics, I know that every student learns differently. I specialize in explaining the same concept in multiple ways, helping students build confidence and truly understand the material instead of just memorizing it. My goal is to make math approachable, engaging, and tailored to each student's unique learning style.

I am still a competitive player if you are just looking for someone to hit with but I really enjoy teaching and sharing my knowledge if you prefer a drill/game style classes.
