Passionate tennis player with a decade+ of experience. I've excelled at various levels, from high school varsity (2012 HS State team qualifier) to college club teams (Ohio State University and Ohio University tennis club alumnus). Previously, I was a full-time tennis professional and Director of Tennis and Pickleball @ Wedgewood Golf and Country Club in Columbus, OH training players of all ages. I have also been the Assistant Tennis Coach of the Girl’s Varsity Team for Westerville South High School (Westerville, OH) for the past two years. From Oct 2025 - July 2026, I was a part-time tennis professional @ Wickertree Tennis Club in Columbus, OH and coached the 3.5 Career Ladies’ USTA Team. Additionally, I have a strong background playing USTA Tournaments (22-6 all time in USTA doubles according to ITF World Tennis Number). Most recently I achieved the following: 2026 USTA League Midwest Ohio Valley Adult 18+ District Champion 2026 USTA League Midwest Ohio Adult 18+ State Runner Up I have a Bachelors degree in Evolution, Ecology, and Organismal Biology, a Masters degree in Biomedical Science, 2 years of medical school, a Certification in the Practice of Data Analytics, and I am currently studying for my next Masters in Bioinformatics at Northeastern University. If you are someone who has a STEM background, I excel at communicating tennis techniques and concepts in terms that STEM professionals can relate to and understand because I have a comprehensive knowledge of the biophysics, muscles, and fine motor feelings that one needs to be aware of when executing mechanics. Let's take your tennis game to the next level! *While I used to teach all ages previously, at this time, I am currently only taking students who have surpassed 6th grade* **Now in the Boston area**
"My tennis lessons with Eshan have been great. I am a complete adult beginner who wants to be able to play tennis with several colleagues for fun. We started learning the different racket grips, forehand and backhand swings and serves. We moved onto different drills to better improve my skills. After several lessons I was able to rally back and forth with my colleagues. He gives me the appropriate amount of feedback without overwhelming me with information. I am looking forward to continuing my lessons and further improving my skills. Eshan has a great balance of making the lessons fun while also pushing me to improve.
Eshan
Tennis has been a lifelong love, with my journey extending to Lafayette College where I was a four-year starter in both doubles and singles. My teaching journey began in high school when I started instructing at local clubs and working as a counselor at tennis camps. Witnessing the transformation and improvement in other players' games is something I find incredibly rewarding. I'm here to help you take your tennis skills to the next level and share in your success on the court.

I’ve been playing tennis for 17 years, including time on the professional circuit. My goal is to help players of all levels improve and enjoy the game. I focus on each player individually, tailoring every session to their needs while also sharing the valuable insights and on-court lessons that helped me compete at a high level. These are the kinds of details you won’t find in online tutorials or generic coaching. Highlights: ITF Junior Ranking: #145 in the world #1 Junior in Asia NCAA Division I player CAA Rookie of the Year 4× Conference Champion and 4× NCAA Tournament Player ITA National Rankings: #112 Singles, #69 Doubles Wins over UTR 13.3+ and Top 300 ATP players Current UTR: 12.3
"At one point, I really needed to work on my overall fitness—not just my tennis—and Bek found a way to combine both seamlessly. Our sessions included conditioning, footwork, and strength work while still staying focused on improving my game. It was the perfect balance, and it helped me get stronger both physically and mentally on the court.

Hey everyone. I’ve had over 30 years of playing high level and 2+ years of coaching experience. A former National Champion (U14–16) and State Champion (U16–18), I also competed at the collegiate level D2 and was the university team captain. I teach all levels and I specialize in player development of all ages, focusing on stroke production, footwork, consistency, and confidence on court. I also focus on technical excellence .
"The clinics are organized and high-energy, with constant rotations and very little waiting. My son has developed more consistent strokes and a much stronger technical foundation.
