"My daughter enjoyed her sessions with Dr Ko. She really showed improvement in the way she plays the piano and in turn improved her confidence. We were updated with how each session goes thru text messages and it was very easy to communicate with Ko. It was a great experience for both me and my daughter!

With 15+ years of competitive experience on both the amateur and professional level, I’ve developed a thorough understanding of the swing and game of golf.

"After my lesson with Ashkaan, I’d say I definitely saw some useful tips, especially around my putting approach. Though I still need to work on consistency, I appreciate the way the lesson focused on my specific issues. I’m hopeful I can build on what I learned soon. If you’re looking for pretty practical advice grounded in real golf situations, Ashkaan's worth considering.

Hi! My name is Arina and I am a first-year medical student. I played competitively through college as part of our club team that won national championship for the past few years! I first started teaching at the age of 16, and since then continued teaching classes for kids and adults of various ages and skill levels. 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.

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

"Coach Jenn was great to work with. I play as a defender and goalkeeper, and she helped me improve my technique, especially when it came to punching the ball with confidence and making better decisions in goal. She paid attention to the details, pushed me to keep practicing, and made every session productive. I noticed real improvement over time and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking to level up their game.

Lessons are personalized, patient, and practical, covering swing mechanics, short game, putting, course management, practice habits, and the mental side of golf.

"Coach Fahad is incredible with young golfers! My kid wanted to try a new sport over the summer, but was pretty intimidated about playing on a real course. We did a 10-lesson package over three months, and Fahad was fantastic. He gave great drills to practice between sessions and made sure to teach proper course etiquette and pace of play. Now my kid comfortably plays rounds with a group of friends their own age and absolutely loves the game. We’ll definitely be sticking with Coach Fahad—highly recommended!

Rooted in a love of movement and strategic play, I teach soccer with clarity and commitment. With one year of teaching experience, I blend technical drills, tactical insight and patient coaching to develop players' confidence, teamwork and game intelligence.
