I've been coaching on TeachMe.To since 2024, spending hundreds of hours helping dozens of students learn tennis from all starting points. Whether you're just beginning or looking to take your game to the next level, I've got you covered! I managed the girls' varsity tennis team for two years in high school, preparing them for matches and major competitions alongside the head coach. As a player, I competed in intense district and state-level matches on the boys' varsity team. Additionally, I recruited new members for both teams over the summers and dedicated several hours each week to match play.
"he is an extremely good coach and was very patient!

I'm a tennis prodigy turned coach, with a knack for breaking records and building champions. As the youngest qualifier in Oklahoma State Championship history during my freshman year of high school, I've always had a passion for pushing boundaries on the court. Transitioning to college, I seamlessly balanced coaching and playing for the club tennis team, honing my skills both as a player and mentor. Now based in LA, I've embarked on rebuilding and reimagining my coaching career, finding innovative ways to connect with players and elevate their tennis prowess to new heights.
"I had an excellent lesson with Austin, who helped me regain my tennis skills after a year-long recovery. His intuitive approach stood out as he tailored the session perfectly to my current abilities. The one-hour class was packed with effective footwork exercises and drills, keeping me engaged the entire time. By the end of the session, I could feel my connection to the court coming back, which was incredibly rewarding. I’m truly grateful for his skillful instruction today and look forward to more lessons with him!
Coach and performance specialist with a proven track record across youth, amateur, and high-school athletics. I began in aquatics—competing in swimming and coaching swim teams—then expanded into Group X instruction, building a strong foundation in movement, conditioning, and athlete development. After earning an Associate degree in Kinesiology, I transitioned into sport-specific training, coaching basketball, boxing, and overall performance. I went on to become a full-time high school basketball coach within LAUSD, coaching at the CIF level and earning a MaxPreps coaching score ranked in the top tier (up to 100). I’m NAFC-certified to coach, experienced with NIL environments, and I work with a wide range of athletes—including amateur competitors and tennis players—focusing on skill, conditioning, confidence, and game-ready performance.

I’m an SCTA, USTA, and ITF junior player with over 30 years of experience in the sport. I’ve had the honor of becoming a national champion, which has fueled my passion for tennis even more. Throughout my journey, I’ve gained valuable insights that I love sharing with others, whether through coaching or mentoring young players. Tennis has shaped my life, and I’m excited to continue contributing to the sport I adore.
"My 12 year old daughter is a competitive tennis player and has been coaching with Arron for almost a year. In that time, her game has improved tremendously. Arron is at home on the court and his passion for the game is infectious and inspirational. He incorporates technique, strategy and conditioning in his lessons, and he makes it fun. I can’t recommend him enough.

I'm a high performance coach who has over 15 years of coaching experience. I was the head coach for 10 years of varsity teams for both boys and girls. Throughout my coaching years I created a culture where my philosophy is not solely based on technique but also the mental and strategic part of the game. I like working with individuals who are serious about improving. If you want to improve your game, while also becoming more fit, and developing strategy on the court then I'm the coach for you.
"Ryan has coached me tennis throughout high school and has been phenomenal in terms of pumping me up on court, giving me very specific feedback but most of all mentoring me and helping me mature throughout high school. Even when we weren’t in the same place together through our weekly phone calls he would check in on how all of his former players were doing and he put a major focus into my development off that court as a student and as a person. My most memorable memories were our car rides up to tennis tournaments where conversations would range from match strategy to life goals. Anyone that is lucky enough to learn from Ryan will see their life changed as long as they commit to what he has to teach with an open mind. If anyone is considering working with Ryan, absolutely go for it. He changed my mentality at every level and he can do the same to yours.
