"Gustavo's lesson was quite helpful overall, especially since I noticed some improvements in my technique. Although I still need to work on my backhand, I feel more confident about the fundamentals now. Still, I think with a bit more focus on specific strokes, I could see even better results. If you're into a steady, thoughtful approach, Gustavo might be worth considering.

"Awesome coach

Hi! 👋🎾 Please read my entire profile. I’m currently a tennis instructor at two prominent Bay Area tennis organizations, coaching both adults and kids aged 5 to 15. Beginner Intermediate Advanced I focus on the foundations of tennis—footwork, contact points, and fundamentals—to help beginners and intermediates improve their game! 😀👍 I’m happy to do lessons once a week but if you wish to see any substantial growth in your tennis game, you may wish to meet twice or three times a week **While happy to coach until 2pm, I strongly prefer early morning lessons anytime after 6:30am. We can guarantee that courts will be open, you will not pay extra for reservations ✅ I am happy to travel to courts near you, but I am one minute from the courts in Mountain View at Whisman Park.

"The lesson went well, really, focusing on one section at a time meant Emily wasn't overwhelmed, which was quite helpful for her first time back on the court. Though I hope her forehand starts resembling her previous shape soon, I appreciated how the approach was measured and clear. Still, I think with a bit more attention there, her technique could really improve. Ryan's way of breaking things down makes a difference, if you're thinking about trying him out, I’d say he's worth considering to see how steady guidance can support your game.

Save ~$10-15 per lesson with me by not having to purchase golf balls at the range! Hi there, I'm Blaise! A seasoned golfer carrying a scratch handicap, and a tech entrepreneur by profession. My lifelong affair with the game has not only allowed me to master the nuances of golf but also share my knowledge with budding golfers. Over the years, I've honed my teaching skills having given well over 5,000 detailed lessons. My approach to teaching golf revolves around nailing the basics first, and then progressively moving onto the more intricate details of the game that fit your natural swing. As a former multi-sport athlete, I like to find a students natural athleticism and teach a swing that revolves around what works best for the student. Golf is hard to learn on your own. Many aspects of the game are counterintuitive and often times up means down, right means left...etc. I'll help you skip years of frustration trying to learn these concepts, and get you hitting the ball better than you thought possible. So, let's get started on this exciting journey, gradually improving your game from the fundamentals to the finer strokes, while having a blast. I teach out of a private golf simulator in Redwood City. If you're not familiar with a simulator, it's high end technology that captures every metric of both the ball and club. In my opinion, the golf simulator is the best way to work on your golf swing because you get so much more data than just hitting balls at the range. The simulator also includes a high speed camera that shows the club hitting the ball frame by frame. But mostly, it's just really cool and a lot of fun!

"The lesson with Gordon was quite helpful, especially in refining my court positioning and shot consistency. Though I still have room for improvement, I found his guidance practical and well-paced. Still, I look forward to trying another lesson soon.

I’m a former math teacher and former tech exec turned pickleball enthusiast. Over the last couple of years, I’ve invested a massive amount of time studying the sport and breaking it down into its foundational pieces in order to teach myself how to excel at the game. In that time, I’ve gone from an absolute beginner to an advanced level player - I play at the 4.5+ level, I’ve won multiple medals in tournaments, and I’ve earned a Professional Coach certificate through PPR. In addition to independent coaching, I am also the lead pickleball coach at Bay Club Redwood Shores & Broadway. I am truly energized by teaching others everything I've learned about this sport. As a former math teacher and Harvard alum, I take an academic approach to coaching: lessons are planned in advance, skills are broken down into steps, there are opportunities to practice and make mistakes, and I provide written notes and videos post-lesson to solidify your learning. As a former tech leader, my coaching involves giving direct and timely feedback, relying on first principles to guide lessons, and adapting quickly to optimize your learning. Thank you for considering me and I hope to see you on the courts soon!
