Private Lessons & Coaches in Tigard, OR

Hello! I am a biologist with a Master's degree in marine science. During my education, I spent several years tutoring peers on statistics, genomics, organic chemistry, physics and zoology. My style of teaching focuses on understanding structural concepts to solve not just the current issues students are struggling with, but provide deeper understanding that will help in the future. I am open to working with all students, but find I am most helpful to curious students who ask questions.

I played 5 years of college basketball, and I've been coaching youth sports for the past couple years. I also have experience training NBA and NCAA players. I'm willing to work with any age, any skill level. The coaches I had throughout my playing career changed my life, and my goal is to pass on my experiences to the next generation.

Hello, my name is Willow. I love teaching kids of all ages. I love to focus on dribbling and shooting drills but I cover everything.

Basketball was my first love. Although I didn’t play at the collegiate level, I had the opportunity to coach at the Division 1 level with the University of Portland Men’s Basketball program. During my time there, I led private workouts for our players, assisted with player development, and helped run youth camps on the side. I have worked with high level recruits and seen firsthand what separates good players from great ones. I believe that mastering the fundamentals is what truly elevates a player’s game. My goal is to help players build confidence, sharpen their skills, and understand what collegiate programs look for in their athletes. Every player’s journey is different, so I tailor workouts to match both skill level and personal goals. Above all, basketball is a game of heart — learning how to compete with passion while maintaining control is what transforms a player, both on and off the court.

With a decade on the court, I blend skill and strategy to elevate your game. I provide focused training for all levels, fostering growth through a supportive, engaging approach. My passion ignites potential!

I have taught and coached: Computer Science, Physics and Math after a career as an engineer and manager. Regardless of skill level, I believe in meeting students where they are, diagnosing their strengths and weaknesses and helping get them to progress. Because of my many engineering projects I can almost always have a specific example to answer the question, "When will I use this?".

Igniting passion and precision on the court is my specialty. I dedicate myself to helping students excel in volleyball, fostering skill development and a love for the game. I look forward to working with you.

I have a MS in Biostatistics and was a Graduate TA and tutor for biostatisitcs. I love breaking down complex statistical topics into small chunks. I also have experience in coding with R, STATA, and SAS, so am able to help get you started on your coding adventure!

I'm a Portland Timbers youth coach, currently obtaining my USA soccer D License, so every session is an invitation to rediscover soccer's joy and craft.
