About Arjan

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.

What students say...

"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!

Tennis Lessons in San Francisco

Active coaching concentrates at Mission Dolores Park, Hayes Valley Playground, Margaret Hayward courts, and Alamo Square - so it's practical to pick a coach by neighborhood court.

Why take tennis lessons in San Francisco?

San Francisco's mild Mediterranean climate supports outdoor tennis lessons most of the year - temperatures rarely move outside 50-75F, fog burns off by late morning, and rain clusters in a short winter window. That keeps students on court for a consistent weekly cadence even when other northern cities shut down. The local coaching roster is unusually deep on competitive backgrounds: a former professional player, a former ATP-ranked singles and doubles competitor with notable tour wins, an internationally trained tennis pro who trained at Keio Tennis Academy in Tokyo, and a former D1 college tennis player. That density means an SF student can match a coach to a real goal - tournament prep, USTA league play, college recruiting work, or first-time adult fundamentals. Most coaching happens on hard courts at public neighborhood parks; clay is rare on the public side. The two main scheduling considerations are fog on west-side courts (Mission Blue, Margaret Hayward) in summer mornings and wind at coastal courts on afternoons - inland courts like Alamo Square and Hayes Valley stay protected.
