Private Tennis Lessons & Coaches in Tamalpais Valley, CA

Tennis is one of my greatest joys - I am passionate about introducing the sport to new communities, fostering junior development and supporting adult learners discover and hone their game.

I help beginners and improving players build clean fundamentals, better footwork, and real confidence on court. My lessons are clear, encouraging, and structured so you improve fast without feeling overwhelmed. I’m a medical student focused on sports medicine. I lost 80 pounds of fat by playing tennis and built real athleticism along the way. I coach beginners to intermediates with a biomechanics-first approach: I’m all about footwork, placement and positioning, timing, and joint-friendly power. First lesson includes a quick assessment, 1 to 2 key fixes, and a drill plan for your next solo hit.

"I struggled with my serve for the longest time. That changed finally when I got lessons from Arjan. He analyed how I currently hit so as to maximally help improve my serve and return without overcomplicating. I could finally toss the ball for a clean serve after many many drills! Highly recommended
