My musical journey began at the tender age of 13 when I ventured into the world of Classical Guitar at the conservatory. My passion for music deepened as the strings whispered the tales of melodic beauty. In my college years, I delved into the intricacies of Harmony and Music Theory, broadening my musical palette. Private lessons with Fusion Players and Jazz aficionados added a touch of versatility to my skills. Eager to expand my horizons, I set foot into the prestigious halls of Berklee College of Music to explore the realms of Electric Guitar. Now, armed with diverse influences and a rich educational background, I'm here to share my expertise with you. Whether you're drawn to the delicate notes of classical compositions or the soulful improvisations of jazz, Rock, Blues, Metal or any style of your preference, ready to guide you on your musical odyssey. Let's make some musical magic together!

"Amazing teacher and amazing player! Very professional, I’m loving the journey so far.

From an experienced school teacher to a 4.5 rated Pickleball instructor, I've transitioned my dedication for teaching into a new athletic arena. With over 3 decades of tennis playing and coaching under my belt, including a two-year stint at Mesa College, I bring a rich and diverse experience to my coaching. My journey into the dynamic world of Pickleball started a short 2 years ago, and in that short span, I've achieved a player rating of 4.0 to 4.5. Currently, I am currently a Pro-Certified instructor with the PPR (Professional Pickleball Registry) to further strengthen my Pickleball coaching credentials. Despite my newfound passion for Pickleball, I still teach tennis, integrating the best of both sports into my training approach. Together, let's work on boosting your skills and raising your game!

Ricardo Terlaje, national team player, has proudly represented his country in numerous high-level amateur events. I use one the #1 swing training aids (pro sender) created Sean foley (past coach of Tiger Woods) and David Woods. { I have a simplified 3 part swing training to make any golfer better at the game. After proper stance and positioning I have simplified the entire swing to 3 easy steps} With a specialization in the short game, Ricardo's skills on the golf course have garnered admiration and respect from his peers. His dedication and passion for the sport shine through in every swing, inspiring those around him to strive for excellence in their own game.

"Ricardo helped me see a few blind spots in my swing, and then helped me with the right cues to be more consistent.

Hi! My name is Christian Heisler-Cruz, or C for short. When I was about 4 years old, my dad put a club in my hand and took me to his favorite municipal course in my hometown of Topeka, Kansas to play a few holes. That day was the day I fell in love with this beautiful game. My dad was my first instructor and he always made sure I had fun more than anything else. That is an approach that I really appreciate and one I want to make sure I carry over with my role as an instructor. When we merge enjoyment and improvement, I believe that is when we can truly love it. Golf was and still is my favorite activity that I share with my dad, and I am hoping it is an activity I can enjoy with all my students as well! Experience Independent Instructor in the San Francisco Bay Area 2021-2025 Studio Instructor at PGA Tour Superstore in Cupertino Jul-Sep 2025

"Christian is great, he instantly found my issues with setup and backswing and could see improvements right away. Hope to continue working with him

"I started golf as a complete beginner and took lessons with Yixuan. After about 5–6 lessons, I’ve seen very clear improvement in my swing, ball contact, and overall confidence. The progress has been faster than I expected, which is why I decided to purchase a 10-lesson package. Yixuan is very patient, explains things clearly, and always tailors the lesson to my level. I feel more comfortable and confident every time I practice. I’m very satisfied with the lessons and would highly recommend her, especially to beginners.

I started playing pickleball in 2014 and have been successful in local tournament play events. Due to my early experience, I started the pickleball program at my local tennis club in Scripps Ranch as it increased from 2 to 4 to 8 pickleball courts. From there, with the help of the tennis pro, we started with large groups (30 -40 players) for pickleball training sessions years ago until interrupted by the Covid pandemic. We were able to start training again in 2023 with our current expanded player base. For the last few years, I have continued with private training sessions at local recreation areas, parks and at résidences.

"Really enjoyed my lesson! It was upbeat and the tips were incredibly helpful. Vince is very friendly and gives clear guidance on how to improve.
