"To whom this may concern I have been playing soccer since I was seven years old. I started with Saint Oliver's soccer and Creekside's recreational program. I've had many coaches during my development, including my own father, who coached me until 16 years of age. I have very little club experience, but i did play varsity soccer all throughout high school. Manny Silvano was my high-school coach and he selected me to play RPL I believe and I only ever played 9 official showcase games. After high school, I decided to start coaching while continuing to play in adult soccer leagues. This is where I met coach Fred. I knew him as a referee at creekside, and the reason he held his position was because of his knowledge and experience of the game. In addition, he coached an adult team in the Wednesday night league at Creekside. That's where I truly began to understand Fred's teachings. Somehow, someway, he started to give me advice on how to improve my coaching. Fred is very sharp, attentive, and detailed. One of the very first things that stood out to me was a lesson he taught me. This was to respect the game. I was coaching a team and during half time, I instructed my team to go directly to goal. Since the goal keeper, in my words "was trash". My competitive nature overpowered my ability to instill the correct message into my youth team. After hearing this, Fred pulled me to the side and told me to never say something like that again. He defended an opposing player because they were all there to learn. Ever since then, I began to seek his guidance. Fred watched me play, and I would ask him how I played. To this day he's my mentor. When we used to work together, we would sit together for hours and watch other teams play, and we would exchange ideas and thoughts about the teams in our division. He was watching me grow every day as a player, a coach, and a human being. Every time I encountered Fred, Id always ask him a dozen questions, and he'd sit with me and teach me so many things about soccer. I would go into work early, and stay until close, just so I could learn from Fred. He's seen me grow from a recreational coach, to club coach, to now, an independent soccer trainer and businessman. His teachings are profound, he see's and knows everything, I've never seen anything like it. He is able to simplify things to such a degree and it shows how knowledgeable he really is. He is the grandfather of coaches within my residential area. Everyone knows fred, and he's coached everyone! Currently I am a starter for his team, and I became his understudy. My curiosity and interests peaks when Im around coach Fred and although my questions never end, his knowledge is beyond that. He has a special and unique way of coaching, sometimes I wonder how far i could have gone if I had met Fred earlier, but to this day, I try and learn from as much as I can from Fred. Coach Fred has made a positive impact in my life, and many others. Mostly everything I know about the game now is all thanks to him!

¡Hola! I am a certified Spanish teacher with over 25 years of teaching experience. I hold a M.ED in Spanish Education and a B.A. in International Trade/Spanish. I have extensive experience working with middle and high school students as well as with adults. In addition to individual tutoring, I have taught both private one-on-one classes and formal group classes, both in person and online. I'm passionate about Spanish and enjoy sharing my knowledge of the language and culture with others.

"Excellent Spanish Tutor! Johanna is a great Spanish tutor. Spanish 3 is already a tough subject but she was able to break it down so it doesn't seem too intimidating. My son is a visual learner so her lessons included charts and acronyms which he found easier to learn. She makes sure he understood the process and tricks to find the answers and then confirms with him why he chose that answer to ensure he truly understands. These are great attributes in a tutor. We're so lucky and grateful to have found Johanna.

"My husband and I have been coaching with Coach Dwain for almost three years now and he’s been amazing. We both started as complete beginners, and he’s helped us understand the fundamentals, improve our stroke technique and really build our game over time. He’s very patient, encouraging and always brings great energy to every session. He genuinely wants us to do well and is always motivating us and pepping us up before matches. He also gives really helpful tips and strategies around actual gameplay, which has made a huge difference for us when we’re playing matches. We’ve improved so much over the years and have really started enjoying the game a lot more. Would definitely recommend Coach Dwain to anyone looking for a great tennis coach!
