My passion for the sport has remained strong throughout my life, and I enjoy interacting with players of all skill levels. With a 4.5 rating, I played competitive OTA tennis as a teenager and taught at the RCYC during the summers.

I recently graduated from the University of Toronto with a master's degree in Climate Change and Sustainability, having balanced my academic pursuits with a dynamic tennis career. As a former NCAA college athlete in the US, I achieved recognition as part of the All-Commonwealth Coast Conference Singles and Doubles Second Team during my rookie year. My tennis journey extends beyond collegiate play—I've competed in ITF tour-level tournaments and secured multiple junior titles in Venezuela. Alongside my tennis achievements, I've contributed to tennis coaching programs at esteemed clubs like Brookline Tennis Academy, Don Mills Tennis Club, and Davisville Tennis Club, honing my skills as a mentor and instructor.
"The lesson provided a solid overview of preparation, forehand, and movement, with plenty of practice that helped reinforce the basics, though I still need to focus on building muscle memory and grip strength to really improve.

"Ahmad's patience during the lesson really stood out. He explained all the rules clearly and made sure I had enough time to master the technique, which was quite helpful. I appreciated the focus on getting things right, and I’m hopeful to learn more about point scoring in future lessons. Still, I think a bit more feedback on my current skills could make the next session even better. If you're looking for a thoughtful coach who takes the time, Ahmad might be worth trying.
