Private Lessons & Coaches in Santa Clara, CA

With three decades immersed in lacrosse, I bring a wealth of experience to every session. My passion lies in fostering both skill development and a deep love for the game. I strive to create a supportive environment where players can thrive and reach their full potential.

"My daughter began playing lacrosse earlier this year. In the first lesson with Coach Allen, she already learned a lot and Coach Allen is great. He explained what my daughter is good at, what she needs to work on, and how she can improve in a clear concise manner. For every skill, he taught her “why” a certain move in a specific form is important in a game, which I think only an experienced coach like Coach Allen can do. We live far from San Ramon, but we feel it’s worth travelling there to receive a high quality lesson from Coach Allen.

I'm a defensive minded coach who's keen on teaching the game within the game. Teaching players the fundamentals while also developing their mental toughness.

I communicate directly and straight to the point, while being friendly and gentle. I'll repeatedly remind you of tips so that we drill it into your brain, killing bad habits and replacing them with good habits. I've been playing pickleball almost daily for 2+ years at a 4.0 level with some tournament experience. I enjoy coaching just for fun - I love mastering strategic games and sharing that passion with others who like to learn as well.

"Sam shows how to hit the ball for every stroke and explains it right with the biomechanics / how to swing. He explains where to position yourself, how to hit the ball, how spin affects the trajectory path of the ball. I've learned a ton.

I built my surfing foundation through Junior Lifeguards, wrestling, 24hr ocean/cliff rescue and time with shredder friends. With 33 years of dedicated practice, I now coach surfers of all levels, sharing techniques, insights, challenges and unique awareness the surf breaks demand. I've also used CAD to design next-gen surfboard fins. These airfoil-based, winged fins generate more thrust and lift, making surfing easier and more controlled for beginners while unlocking radical lines for experts.

"I've been surfing for a long time, but I love how Todd surfs and decided I'd ask him to try some coaching with me. He was able to point out some things about what board I may rather surf, and he ended up being right! He also shared with me a number of unique navigation and wave-tracking methods that I find fascinating and very useful.

I'm the athletic director at the local high school in Atascadero, but golf has always been a major part of my life. I've played competitively since I was 12, even qualifying for the US Open twice! I've learned from some of the best instructors in the world, so I understand proper mechanics and teaching techniques. Although my current job and family life keep me busy, I'm passionate about giving back to the game. I'm excited to share my knowledge and experience with others, even if it's not through direct instruction. Let's connect and see how I can help you improve your golf game!

I have been on championship teams since high school. I have been a coach since 2016. I know what it takes, dedication and attention to detail. Let's improve ourselves. I can help with ages 11-18.

Since the age of 5, I have explored my fascination with music. Starting with Suzuki piano, I gave a recital in high school and went to Oberlin Conservatory. Continuing on to Peabody and Eastman, I completed my music education and moved on to IT while exploring additional passions in music on the side. I'm now back to music full time, with an emphasis on teaching conservatory-level classical piano and beginning/intermediate violin and latin percussion. I teach at your home or at mine in Danville.

"We highly recommend Jonathan as a music teacher! Our 9-year-old son Dylan is energetic and easily distracted, but Jonathan has endless patience and keeps him fully engaged throughout every lesson. He’s an amazing musician himself, makes learning fun, and chooses perfect pieces for Dylan’s level. Jonathan is excellent with lively, active 9-year-olds!
