"I think the lesson was so helpful. I enjoyed the combo drills and the serving and volleying practice. Those parts really stood out. I’d like to do more all-around practice, particularly focusing on hitting the ball crossing the court better. Alex is an awesome coach and knows exactly how to help you improve your technique and also explain it really well.

Golf is all about “muscle memory.” My first 10 years of golfing were based on my own swing, and I could not improve enough during that time. Then I met an instructor who tried to fix my “form” for next six months. Do you think I was fixed? Yes and no, because it actually took me almost two years after those lessons to truly adjust. Why 2 years? Because my muscles were stuck to the 10-years-old form and resisted not to get adjusted! Why do I share my experience? Because a beginner should start golfing with an instructor, regardless of the lesson fee. Whoever is certified can teach you how to perform a proper golf swing. The only thing you need to do afterward is repetition on your own at the range. The more you practice, the faster your muscles memorize the movement. Golf is all about “muscle memory.” And muscles must be memorized in right way! Since I got my swing fixed—not perfectly, but very close to a standard form—I have been giving lessons to friends and their friends. I was finally certified by USGTF last September. My rate is low because I am new to TMT, but I have already met a good number of students within a handful of months. I teach not only how to swing, but also how to practice on your own. Golf is “practicing,” and that is everything. Without practicing between lessons, you will need to invest much more time and money, because you are not using enough of your own time to improve. People say a tour pro hits 10,000 balls to adjust a single point in their swing. Then how many balls do you think you need to hit? Of course, you are not a tour pro, but you still need to hit as many balls as possible for your muscles to memorize the movement. With my 25 years of experience and structured drills you can practice by yourself after each lesson, I can help you improve step by step. Please do not hesitate to ask me any questions.
"Eric is professional and clear about what he wants to teach you and makes you feel like his lesson is crafted for your swing, would recommend to anyone looking to improve their game.

"Raymond's lesson was quite helpful, especially as he focused on my serve and footwork, which I hadn't nailed before. Though I think a few more sessions will really boost my confidence. Still, I appreciate the practical tips and look forward to continuing to improve with his guidance.

"Edward's lesson really stood out because of his patience and attention to detail, which I appreciated quite a bit. He consistently gives feedback after each movement, though I still hope I can rally more consistently in future lessons. Still, the focus on specific techniques helped me understand my game better, and I’d be interested in seeing how my skills develop with more practice.

Let's connect and discuss your basketball journey! *All Inclusive access to training session at state of the art facilities at Life Time locations in NYC, Long Island, or North Jersey is available for existing weekly clients after the first intro session.*

Hey fellow tennis enthusiasts! I started my journey with a wooden racquet from a garage sale, facing giggles and doubts at age 8. But I learned that tennis is for everyone - no matter your age, skill, or gear. Years have flown by, and now I'm the proud founder of Astoria Tennis, NYC's largest public tennis community. I believe in creating an inclusive space where we all can learn, play, and revel in the joy of tennis. Let's embrace the game together, and remember, it's never about the racquet, but the heart that wields it!
"Amazing! This was my first ever lesson and first time playing tennis and I couldn’t ask for a better coach. I learned so much and had a lot of fun. Would highly recommended to everyone.

Hi! I’m Simon, a passionate pickleball player with a love for helping people of all ages and skill levels get into this fast-growing, fun, and social sport. I started playing pickleball a year and quickly fell in love with the game’s mix of strategy, movement, and community. Whether you’re a total beginner looking to learn the basics, or someone with experience hoping to sharpen your skills, I focus on building strong fundamentals in a relaxed, encouraging environment. My lessons emphasize proper technique, court positioning, strategy, and—most importantly—making the game fun and accessible.
"The lesson was quite helpful and quite enjoyable, honestly. Simon has a calm way of explaining things, and I appreciated how he focused on specific skills like keeping control on the ball. Still, I think I need a bit more work on my footwork, but I’m looking forward to the next lesson to build on what I learned.

I first learned golf as a teenager and was hand-selected by a Head Golf Pro to become an apprentice, aiming to teach and play at a high level. After an injury, I’ve been focusing on rehab while giving lessons, all with the goal of becoming competitive again. With over 25 years of experience, I've honed my skills under the guidance of the legendary Biaggio (Yaz) Consalvo in Northern NJ. Holding a U.S.G.A 7 handicap, I teach players of all ages and skill levels—from beginners to advanced, ages 5 to 92. My methods are simple and effective, making it easy for anyone to practice at home. Let's link up for a lesson, and I’ll help you find golf to be as or more enjoyable as you ever imagined it to be. 😊👍☕️
"Oh, the lesson was a pretty good intro to golf, honestly. I appreciated learning how to grip and swing properly, and it’s definitely a solid foundation. Though I need to practice more swings and hit more balls to solidify those new habits, I feel like this was a helpful starting point. Aron’s approach made things clear without overloading me, and I’m still hopeful about applying what I learned moving forward. If you’re looking for a straightforward introduction with someone who keeps it real, you might want to give Aron a shot.

Hi all - I’m looking for some new students for the winter season! It’s a great time to work on swing changes or learn the swing etc. I’ve had some great success over the years with winter training at the range and simulators to either work on the full swing or hone parts of the game. Chipping /putting short game or even speed training for those long drivers. Also breaking down the whole swing to get ready for spring. Tappan good center has a great set up all closed in with heaters or indoors at a sim. For preferably at the range where we can see direct results. Let me know I teach young /older newbies and or high level low handicappers! Thx Recently won first place with a teachme.to student at a local 9-hole scramble event. As an athlete throughout my life, with a background in college baseball, I found a deep love for golf that resonates with many of us. With over 20 years of experience, I have honed my skills in the game, achieving a handicap as low as -2 and currently maintaining a handicap of 3-4. Participating in numerous MGA, USGA, and amateur tour events, I have celebrated victories in a couple of tournaments. My expertise lies in the short game, an area where we can all improve and shave off valuable strokes. Recognizing the significance of course management and maintaining a sharp game, I offer comprehensive instruction in these aspects. Whether building a swing for new players or addressing specific issues and fixes, I am dedicated to helping you enhance your skills on and off the course. Let's work together to hit them straight - if only it were that easy! Any beginner looking for a golf etiquette class please reach out. I’m looking to get a class size of 5-10 where I will go thru all golf etiquette from the tee to the green. Besides being helpful to you also to your fellow golfers you will be paired with! Will make you fit in and teach others. I will also hold a chipping and putting lesson during this 1hr class. Please sign up and let me know so we can dates and locations. Thanks

Creating a joyful learning experience is my mantra. As a dedicated music educator, I cultivate a relaxed environment where making mistakes is part of the journey, and experimentation is encouraged. Students should leave each session feeling confident in themselves and their abilities. My educational journey, from studying Bel Canto operatic singing at Queensborough Community College to exploring diverse styles at Berklee College of Music, has equipped me to offer students a comprehensive foundation to sing any song in any style. Join me in discovering the joy of singing while building a solid musical skill set that lasts a lifetime. For more examples of my singing and to get to know me more, feel free to listen to my music and hear me on social media.
