Hey there! I’m a passionate golfer with 20+ years of experience, and I’m currently a 3 handicap. It’s crazy to think I’ve been at it this long, but I genuinely love the game and want to share what I’ve learned along the way. My goal is to help you improve your swing, shave strokes off your score, and most importantly—make your time on the course more fun and rewarding! I played competitive golf back in high school and have mostly been playing recreationally lately, but I’m working toward becoming a PGA professional someday. So far, I’ve mainly helped friends fine-tune their games, but I’m ready to branch out and work with other golfers too. Whether you’re fighting a wicked slice, struggling to escape the sand in one shot, or just looking to fine-tune your fundamentals, I’d love to help you out. Let’s hit the range, work on your game, and start lowering those scores together!

"Ryan has helped me tremendously. His ability to diagnose my swing problems has been extremely helpful. Clear, repeatable drills and great follow up make it an enjoyable learning experience. Highly recommend

Helping players unlock their potential on the court is what I do best! As a current Division I athlete with 15 years of tennis experience, I work with players of all skill levels to help them reach their goals—whether that’s learning to make consistent contact, extending rally length, or training with high-level, D1 intensity. Whatever your focus, I’ve got you covered. Let’s team up and take your game to the next level! My main teaching location is the UIC tennis courts and I will be teaching at courts around that area; however, I cannot go more than 15 minutes away from UIC. Also my availability is a little more limited as I am a student-athlete. But I am willing to try to fit as many students as I can into my schedule.

"I loved the focus on rhythm during the lesson with Nia. It really helped me find a smooth flow in my game. The pace kept me engaged and learning effectively.

"I took my first pickleball lesson with Arian, and we got straight to work. Arian quickly identified areas for improvement and dedicated the rest of the lesson to refining my technique. By the end of just one session, I already felt more confident on the court. I'm excited to continue learning from him and look forward to my next session!
