“Worked on grip and stance with each club and got a good understanding WHY the stance was important (and different) for each club. I did not want 20 or 30 new things to try. I could not remember that many. I can easily focus on two tips for each club and make improvements based on those tips.”Bill S., student
About PaulGolfing and student of the game for 50 years now. .My philosophy is keep the swing simple and effective. Swing changes are hard so let’s work with what you have unless you are committed to making wholesale swing changes.
Fundamentals are key: grip, alignment, posture and swing plane. No crazy gimmicky exaggerated moves: club on plane w a square face, and aligned to target. Let’s get you proficient and confident so you can get out play and enjoy the game.Go to profile97OutstandingTop rated

“great experience, coach jay is very professional and responsible, my kids like the class.”Hua J., parent
About Jay-ArTennis has been my life for 30 years — as a player, a college competitor, and now as a coach who’s put in over 345 lessons helping students actually improve. My game blends Federer-style touch and feel on the one-handed backhand with the heavy, modern topspin you see from players like Alcaraz and Sinner — and that’s exactly what I bring to your lessons, whether you’re building your fundamentals or refining a competitive game.
I don’t believe in cookie-cutter lessons. Every session is built around your goals, your level, and what’s actually holding your game back — with the technology and tools (video analysis, ball machine, real match-play strategy) to back it up.
Beyond the court, you’re joining a tennis community: connect with fellow students, ask me questions directly, work through structured courses at your own pace, and get access to local clinics and events. My goal is simple — help you fall in love with this game while getting genuinely better at it.Go to profile94GreatTop rated

“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!”Ali (., parent · shared by Fahad
