Private Lessons & Coaches in

I’m a former professional baseball player with 5 years in the Washington Nationals organization. I specialize in strength & conditioning, speed, and performance training. I help athletes improve strength, mechanics, and mindset to reach the next level through discipline, consistency, and real game results.

"Training with Coach Amparo has helped me improve my game in every way. His experience as a former professional player shows in every detail. He helped me get stronger, faster, and more disciplined. My mechanics and overall performance have improved a lot, and I feel more confident every time I step on the field. Coach Amparo pushes you to give your best and train like a professional, and that has made a big difference in my development. — Isaías

I'm an award-winning singer-songwriter and pianist whose music touches the depths of the soul, leaving a lasting impression. With over 15 years of experience teaching piano, songwriting, and vocal techniques, I founded the Margarita Shamrakova Music School to nurture the talents of aspiring musicians.

Hey there! I'm Nicholas Valencia otherwise known as Coach Nick. I have college level baseball experience as both a player and a coach. I believe that every baseball player learns differently. The lessons and drills I provide are tailored towards YOUR unique goals and needs. No two players I coach will ever have the same exact routine, which is what makes private coaching so special. Our relationship will be symbiotic and I will guide you on the path to success. Looking forward to working with you!

"Nicholas did a great job !

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!

"Danny is amazing! So friendly and helpful. I took lessons with a friend and he was very attentive to both of us and helped us improve our game.

Current number 1 player at Baruch College. 2 time MVP and Player of the year UTR 11.3 Playing for about 10 years

"Nice coach and explain everything clearly

I run six pickleball sessions a week for my local church to raise money, combining my love for the game with a commitment to community service. My journey with paddle sports began as a kid, but it was in 2015, introduced to pickleball by my dad, that I truly found my passion. I fell in love with the game not only for its excitement but also for the positive social aspects it brings. Pickleball has a unique way of building connections and fostering a supportive community, and I strive to share that experience with others. Whether you're a newcomer or looking to improve your skills, I'm here to help you enjoy the game and be part of the amazing pickleball community.

"Had a great time learning from Matthew! He was super patient and even let me practice with the ball machine. He is super nice and kept the lesson fun. He also runs open play sessions with his church which I went to and was great to practice the things I learned.

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.

"Simon was kind, knowledgeable and kept the class moving . He has a great balance between correction and compliment.
