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!

"Kamal's lesson really helped me understand some key techniques, especially focusing on proper ball control. It’s pretty clear he knows his stuff and puts effort into making sure each player gets useful feedback, though I’d say I still need more practice on consistency. Still, I feel like I made decent progress and I’d be curious to see how my skills develop after another lesson. If you’re into improving your soccer skills, trying Kamal’s lesson could be worthwhile.

Embarking on a journey into the realm of dance five years ago, I am fortunate to be experienced in many kinds of dance including ballroom, salsa, and Afro-Cuban dance. The profound impact of body movement as both a hobby and a healing tool immediately captivated me. Recognizing its transformative power, I delved deeper into this passion, immersing myself in Afro-Cuban dance and salsa. My mission is to impart the fundamental body movements inspired by African and Latin dancing, empowering individuals to embrace their bodies and find comfort in movement. In my eyes, body movement is a universal healer, and I'm dedicated to guiding and opening up hearts and bodies through the joy of dance.

"I'm quite pleased with how the lesson went. Though there’s room to improve, I think focusing on fielding practice could make the next lesson even more useful. Still, the overall progress has been noticeable, and Jorgie’s approach feels quite thoughtful. It’s encouraging to see such a consistent effort in guiding players to develop their baseball skills and character. If you're looking to sharpen your game in a balanced way, I’d say it’s worth trying out Jorgie’s lesson.

At the age of 9, I discovered basketball and became obsessed with it. “Basketball is life” was my motto growing up—from finishing team practices at the gym, then going straight to a local basketball court for pickup games. I considered basketball courts my second home, and in many ways, they still are. My playing journey took me through several years in AAU leagues, starting with the Bay Area Asian Sports Dragons as a youth. As a four-year varsity player, I earned MVP and MIP awards in middle school and high school, and was honored to make the PAL NorCal All-League First and Second Teams during my later years. These experiences taught me that individual recognition means nothing without the team and community that supports you. I am an advocate for fostering community and connections through sports, and I truly believe that sports bring out the best in people. Having walked the path from beginner to competitive player, I want to be a guiding light for those just starting out or looking to elevate their development. My goal is to help players grow their skills while encouraging them to become better people throughout their journey. For over two decades, I’ve cultivated a deep love and understanding of basketball. I focus on skill development and strategic thinking, fostering both confident players and a genuine love for the game. I’m here to share that same passion with anyone who aspires to get better and compete to their fullest potential.
