Private Lessons & Coaches in Cicero, IL

Hey there! I’m a passionate golfer with 20+ years of experience, and I’m currently a 3 handicap. It’s crazy to think I’ve been at it this long, but I genuinely love the game and want to share what I’ve learned along the way. My goal is to help you improve your swing, shave strokes off your score, and most importantly—make your time on the course more fun and rewarding! I played competitive golf back in high school and have mostly been playing recreationally lately, but I’m working toward becoming a PGA professional someday. So far, I’ve mainly helped friends fine-tune their games, but I’m ready to branch out and work with other golfers too. Whether you’re fighting a wicked slice, struggling to escape the sand in one shot, or just looking to fine-tune your fundamentals, I’d love to help you out. Let’s hit the range, work on your game, and start lowering those scores together!

"Ryan has helped me tremendously. His ability to diagnose my swing problems has been extremely helpful. Clear, repeatable drills and great follow up make it an enjoyable learning experience. Highly recommend

9 handicap. Lifelong golfer. I'll teach you to love the game of golf and have a good time playing! Which is what it’s all about.

"My lesson with Mark was quite helpful, especially learning what I needed to make contact with the ball. Though, I still think there's room for improvement, but overall it was a solid experience and I guess I’ll keep working on what he showed me.

I’m a center back currently competing at the NCAA Division I level, with experience playing for Utah Valley University (UVU), University of Central Arkansas (UCA), and Gardner-Webb University. Over the years, I’ve developed a strong understanding of the game, especially from a defensive perspective, and I take pride in my leadership, positioning, and ability to read the field. As a player, I’ve always been vocal and disciplined — someone my teammates can count on. Now as a coach and mentor, I aim to bring that same energy to developing young players. I focus on teaching the fundamentals of defending, building confidence on the ball, and helping athletes grow both technically and mentally. Whether I’m training center backs to lead the backline or helping players understand the game at a higher level, I’m passionate about sharing what I’ve learned and giving back to the sport that’s given me so much.

I am a former member of the University of Illinois club tennis team. I have been playing tennis for over 20 years and have been teaching for 10 years. I have a strong passion for the sport. I enjoy the great exercise and the availability of courts in the city. I also love sharing the game with others.

"My session with Quinn was great! Very patient and knows his stuff.

Helping players unlock their potential on the court is what I do best! As a current Division I athlete with 15 years of tennis experience, I work with players of all skill levels to help them reach their goals—whether that’s learning to make consistent contact, extending rally length, or training with high-level, D1 intensity. Whatever your focus, I’ve got you covered. Let’s team up and take your game to the next level! My main teaching location is the UIC tennis courts and I will be teaching at courts around that area; however, I cannot go more than 15 minutes away from UIC. Also my availability is a little more limited as I am a student-athlete. But I am willing to try to fit as many students as I can into my schedule.

"I loved the focus on rhythm during the lesson with Nia. It really helped me find a smooth flow in my game. The pace kept me engaged and learning effectively. If you want to improve your tennis skills with a coach who makes the sessions enjoyable and productive, I’d recommend giving Nia’s lessons a try! 🎾

Pickleball is a fun sport. I can teach you how to learn and have fun while playing it.

"I took my first pickleball lesson with Arian, and we got straight to work. Arian quickly identified areas for improvement and dedicated the rest of the lesson to refining my technique. By the end of just one session, I already felt more confident on the court. I'm excited to continue learning from him and look forward to my next session!

"Chris is an excellent instructor. Very pragmatic, works with each person on their unique challenges.

With over 25 years of dedicated golfing experience, I've developed a profound passion for the sport. I relish the challenges that golf presents and am particularly fond of utilizing indoor simulators in urban settings. Most importantly, I derive immense joy from imparting my knowledge and love for the game to others.

"I had a lesson with Quinn and, well, he’s definitely good at giving feedback but didn’t quite match my needs since he primarily works with beginners. Still, I appreciated the precise insights he offered on technique, though I feel I’d benefit from someone whose approach aligns more with my level and goals. Definitely worth a try if you're starting out or need straightforward guidance.
