"Ashkan was fantastic for my first lesson! He made everything feel approachable and easy to understand while keeping the lesson fun, engaging, and very interactive. He gave clear, helpful feedback throughout and created a really comfortable environment to learn in. I left feeling more confident and excited to keep improving. Highly recommend Ashkan for beginners and experienced players alike!

Hailing from Los Angeles, California, I was instilled with a strong sense of discipline from a young age, a principle that has become the cornerstone of my personal and professional life. This mindset found its perfect expression on the soccer field, where I learned that dedication, strategy, and relentless effort are the keys to mastery. The game is more than a sport to me; it's a framework for leadership, resilience, and achieving ambitious goals.

"We signed our 7-year-old daughter, Ella, up for lessons with Coach Andrew after she expressed interest in soccer but was too nervous to join a team. She's naturally a bit shy, and we were worried she might feel overwhelmed or get discouraged. I can honestly say that choosing Coach Andrew awas one of the best decisions we've made for her.

Save ~$10-15 per lesson with me by not having to purchase golf balls at the range! Hi there, I'm Blaise! A seasoned golfer carrying a scratch handicap, and a tech entrepreneur by profession. My lifelong affair with the game has not only allowed me to master the nuances of golf but also share my knowledge with budding golfers. Over the years, I've honed my teaching skills having given well over 5,000 detailed lessons. My approach to teaching golf revolves around nailing the basics first, and then progressively moving onto the more intricate details of the game that fit your natural swing. As a former multi-sport athlete, I like to find a students natural athleticism and teach a swing that revolves around what works best for the student. Golf is hard to learn on your own. Many aspects of the game are counterintuitive and often times up means down, right means left...etc. I'll help you skip years of frustration trying to learn these concepts, and get you hitting the ball better than you thought possible. So, let's get started on this exciting journey, gradually improving your game from the fundamentals to the finer strokes, while having a blast. I teach out of a private golf simulator in Redwood City. If you're not familiar with a simulator, it's high end technology that captures every metric of both the ball and club. In my opinion, the golf simulator is the best way to work on your golf swing because you get so much more data than just hitting balls at the range. The simulator also includes a high speed camera that shows the club hitting the ball frame by frame. But mostly, it's just really cool and a lot of fun!

"I was able to cover all the fundamentals including front hand, back hand, serves, and positioning. Coach Paul gave fantastic advice and homework to step up my game.

I’m Daniel, a PCI certified instructor! My coaching emphasizes strong fundamentals and a clear understanding of the moving parts in today’s evolving game, helping players improve skills and adapt with confidence. My background in sports is ping pong, tennis and golf help me bring a cross-sport perspective to every lesson. This approach helps me explain through different views to build consistency, strategy, and enjoyment on the court. I really enjoy helping students improve! Thanks!

"He knows a lot about pickleball and is a great coach

I’m a former math teacher and former tech exec turned pickleball enthusiast. Over the last couple of years, I’ve invested a massive amount of time studying the sport and breaking it down into its foundational pieces in order to teach myself how to excel at the game. In that time, I’ve gone from an absolute beginner to an advanced level player - I play at the 4.5+ level, I’ve won multiple medals in tournaments, and I’ve earned a Professional Coach certificate through PPR. In addition to independent coaching, I am also the lead pickleball coach at Bay Club Redwood Shores & Broadway. I am truly energized by teaching others everything I've learned about this sport. As a former math teacher and Harvard alum, I take an academic approach to coaching: lessons are planned in advance, skills are broken down into steps, there are opportunities to practice and make mistakes, and I provide written notes and videos post-lesson to solidify your learning. As a former tech leader, my coaching involves giving direct and timely feedback, relying on first principles to guide lessons, and adapting quickly to optimize your learning. Thank you for considering me and I hope to see you on the courts soon!

"Alan has been helping me so much with my game - my friends are impressed by my progress and I’m now more confident on court.

"I was lucky enough to find coach Shannon for my little ones. In a desperate attempt to distract kiddos from devices, I wanted to try tennis with the little ones, who each has their personalities. Coach Shannon is a wonderful coach. She has been always so encouraging to the girls and trying different ways to make the lessons fun. When the girls were having their moments, she accommodated based on situations. She has been very patient and an excellent coach. I also had my private session with her and enjoyed it very much. We really love coach Shannon and would love to keep coming back.

"Rimi’s lesson’s were incredibly helpful — it really refined my shot placement and deepened my understanding of the game’s nuances. She pointed out key areas I hadn’t focused on before, and I could immediately notice the difference. What stood out most was how Rimi blends both the physical and psychological aspects of pickleball — her calm, practical approach makes learning both effective and enjoyable. Highly recommend!
