Private Lessons & Coaches in Bethpage, NY

My journey as a violinist began over two decades ago, and sharing that passion with students is incredibly fulfilling. I cultivate a supportive learning environment where each student can hone their musicality and technical skills with joy and confidence. While pursuing an active international performance career as a soloist, orchestra leader, chamber musician and a recording artist with two solo CD albums released and sold worldwide, I have also been able to maintain a twenty years long and successful history of teaching students of various ages, abilities and goals. The diversity and wide geography of my professional training have enriched both my performance style and my teaching approach and methods.

I teach tennis lessons to anyone and everyone. Never touched a racket? No problem! Do you want to go up a level, make the high school team, or be able to play with friends? Kids, high schoolers, adults, couples, and groups. I love tennis! USPTA level 2 Certified, Tennis Serve Specialist. Worked with Rick Macci (coach of 5 world #1 ones including Williams sisters and Andy Roddick), Jose Higuras (head of U.S. high performance program), Jeff Salzsentein (former top 100 player), Hans Podlipnik (Wimbledon QFist), and many others. Head high school coach for 11 years, active tournament player, patient teacher. Passionate about helping underserved kids throughout Seattle learn tennis and have organized and connected with many initiatives to do so. My goal is to help you achieve your goals whether that be improving technique or beginning to learn to play. To that extent, I am fairly flexible in my approach. For beginners, I focus on technique, proper grips, and generating topspin. To do this, I focus on hand feeding a lot of balls early on to develop proper technique and to train the muscle memory. Specifically, I teach a semi-western forehand, two-handed backhand, volley fundamentals, split stepping, proper footwork and serve mechanics. I also work with students who have one-handed backhands. I am a big believer in putting in a lot of time on the serve. For more experienced players, I will work with you to either identify areas for improvement or to work on areas you’ve identified you would like to improve.

"Irvin was patient and helpful with a beginning student, and we look forward to working with him more in the future.
