Private Lessons & Coaches in Sherwood, OR

I have just recently retired from teaching Middle School and High School Math for 35+ year. I will miss teaching and would like to continue by tutoring math. My teaching career is varied. I taught in Idaho and Oregon for 20+ years before choosing to teach overseas. I taught in Egypt, Malaysia, Myanmar, Ecuador and Guatemala; teaching at international schools. During that time, I also worked on curriculum committees, chaperoned week long trips and worked on my PhD in Math education.

Ryan was raised in a musical household and began taking lessons from the time he was able to wrap his hands around a guitar neck. He is well versed in a variety of genres and styles including Rock, Jazz, Blues and Americana. He works with students of all ages and levels of experience and tailors lessons to the individual (no one size fits all approach). Beginning students start with simple melodies and basic chord forms. Advanced players develop theory, harmony, composition, improvisation.

"Have been taking lessons for a few months and have made great progress. Ryan quickly understood how I learn and adapted his teachings to meet me where I'm at in my guitar journey. Would highly recommend for any level of playing

About Me - I’m Danielle, a pickleball coach based in Oregon City. Pickleball, for me, is about the joy of moving, learning, and having fun together. I teach locally outdoors and in Troutdale for indoor lessons. Approach - I’ve spent six years creating a supportive, low-pressure learning space where players can grow at their own pace. Who I Coach - I work primarily with women of all ages and body types and athletic ability who want to learn with a growth mindset and kindness toward themselves. How Lessons Work - Each session is tailored to you. We choose one technical and one tactical skill to focus on, start with some rallying, and build from there. My Why - If you’re ready to learn, laugh, and grow, I’d love to help you take your next step on the court.

"I am blind in one eye but still really wanted to learn this game. With no depth perception, Danielle was able to help me learn the drills and skills to develop strong compensations in reading and responding to the ball. Her approach has helped me in leaps and bounds.
