"Coach Jenn was great to work with. I play as a defender and goalkeeper, and she helped me improve my technique, especially when it came to punching the ball with confidence and making better decisions in goal. She paid attention to the details, pushed me to keep practicing, and made every session productive. I noticed real improvement over time and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking to level up 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
