Private Lessons & Coaches in

I’m playing tennis for 19 years. 8 years coaching experience. Sometimes still participate in tournaments by myself. I provide advanced tennis lessons, as well as explanation how to enjoy the game and stay healthy.

"Loved Coach Katya! She explained everything so well, made things super clear, and taught so much in just the first lesson. Signing up for more right away! Thanks Coach!

I’m Wayne Mendezona, Head Men’s Basketball Coach at Corban University and founder of Quick Handle Basketball. I’ve spent over 30+ years developing athletes and have trained more than 50,000 players—from youth to college and professional levels. I specialize in ball handling, scoring, and game performance—helping athletes build confidence, decision-making, and real in-game results. My training is not just drills—it’s about developing complete players who can perform under pressure, think the game, and separate themselves from the competition. I don’t train average. I train athletes who are serious about growth, discipline, and competing at a higher level. If that’s you, let’s get to work.

"My training session with Coach Mendo (Wayne) was excellent. The session was well organized-- he was able to quickly assess my current abilities and areas for growth, and then ran me through a number skill building excercises. By the end of the first session I could tell that my dribbling skills were much improved and he gave me specific advice on how to improve my shot. His coaching style is positive and direct and I look forward to our future training sessions.

I've been playing pickleball since I was 8 years old, and over the years, it's become more than just a sport—it's a passion. With over 3 years of coaching experience, I love helping players of all levels grow their game, whether you're a total beginner, or an experienced player looking to sharpen your strategy and technique. Over the years I’ve won multiple 4.5-5.0 level gold medals, and coached many students to high level tournament success. I am currently Head Pro at Urban Pickleball, an indoor club in downtown Seattle, and I offer private coaching on the side. Let’s hit the courts and take your pickleball skills to the next level!

"Wow, Daniel's lesson really helped me with precise adjustments for my kitchen play and serve , I appreciated the focus on technique but still feel I need to work on strategy, though. It’s encouraging, and I’d be open to trying another lesson to build on what I learned.

I’ve been passionate about softball for years, playing both in high school and at the collegiate level. My primary positions were first base and center field, where I developed strong defensive skills, quick decision-making, and leadership on the field. I love sharing my knowledge of the game with others and helping players build confidence, improve their technique, and enjoy the sport as much as I do.

I’m a performance-focused golf coach and advanced player with strong scoring ability built on ball striking, short game control, and course management. My coaching style is fun, supportive, and encouraging, helping players build confidence without feeling overwhelmed. With a background in psychology studies, I also focus on the mental side of golf—helping players manage pressure, stay present, and build a strong mindset to perform better on the course.

From competing at the top of Division I lineups to coaching at elite academies for aspiring professionals, I offer a rare, inside perspective on what it takes to reach the next level in tennis. I specialize in developing high-level juniors who are ready to separate themselves from their peers. I’ve been in the environments that produce top performers—and I know exactly what habits, training methods, and mindset create real breakthroughs. While I also coach adults and beginners, my core passion is working with driven players who feel stuck and helping them break through their limits. My coaching philosophy is simple: high standards, smart structure, and performance that shows up when it matters.

"I was already playing at a high level in a league when I started training with Dmitry, but I wanted to improve my overall game and refine my style. He immediately identified what I needed to work on and tailored the training to push me past my plateau. My movement, shot selection, and consistency improved, and I feel much more confident in competitive matches. He treats you like a serious athlete and holds you to a high standard, which is exactly what I was looking for.

I have worked with a variety of students at different learning levels to help them become more confident in their reading and writing skills for over a year as a writing tutor. I meet students where they're at and find different ways to help them relate their lives to their reading and writing. This may include physical projects, reading aloud, and more. I've also found a conversational approach is better than being a figure of authority, and I strive to be a patient and friendly mentor to all.
