My passion is helping players build the right foundation from day one. I teach proper mechanics, footwork, and technique so you improve naturally instead of spending years fixing bad habits. I’ve invested over $20,000 learning from top SoCal coach Austin Sveom and earned 17 tournament medals. Lessons are $20/hr (donated to charity)—you reserve the court at Barnes Tennis Center. I teach one evening lesson per day so every student receives my full attention.
"I’ve taken lessons before, but this was different. Instead of just hitting balls, Kishan explained why each adjustment mattered. My resets, footwork, and consistency improved almost immediately.

I’ve taught several people so far, I’ve surfed for over 20 years. I have a go with the flow kind style. I want to know what I am working with so I’m going to have the student practice there pop up on the beach. Check them on what they should work on and then advance.

"To Whom It May Concern, I’m writing this to express my full gratitude and admiration for Tim Herman, who served as my personal trainer. At the beginning of this year, I was in a very difficult place—drinking too much, heavier than I wanted to be, struggling with my skin, and mentally in a bad state. From day one, Tim gave me the tools I needed to save myself. He never gave up on me, even when I wasn’t doing everything I was supposed to. Tim is incredibly kind, patient, and knowledgeable. He helped me lose 30 pounds, improve my skin, regain self-confidence, and most importantly, start taking care of my mental and physical health. Tim is relocating to San Diego, and I can say without hesitation—if you are considering hiring him as a trainer, do it. His impact on my life is something I will always be grateful for. He’s not just a trainer—he’s a true coach, a fitness wizard, and an incredible human being. Sincerely, Rick Busby

"From their mom (on Nextdoor.com) I have been fortunate to have Meg work with both of my sons on their Honors English coursework and SAT English/Writing preparation. Meg consistently provides thoughtful, specific feedback that goes far beyond grammar and basic comprehension. She has a remarkable ability to identify both a student's strengths and the areas where they need to grow, whether that be deeper literary analysis, stronger thesis development, better planning, or clearer essay organization. What I appreciate most is how clearly she explains what separates an average essay from a truly strong analytical one. She offers practical, actionable strategies that students can immediately apply to improve their writing and critical thinking. Her feedback is honest, detailed, and highly constructive, and both of my sons have benefited greatly from her guidance. Most importantly, her coaching has helped boost their confidence and foster a greater interest in writing. I would highly recommend Meg to any student looking to strengthen their writing, critical thinking, and literary analysis skills, whether for Honors English, SAT preparation, or overall academic growth.
