Hi, I'm Saarim
I am a tennis enthusiast and a French Horn Player with over 10 years of experience. After 8 years of rigorous training in both areas, I finally decided to use my knowledge to coach and train others. It has been a gratifying experience to work with students who are eager to learn new skills.
I also have a passion to take care of pets since I was in middle school; their innocence and unconditional loyalty brings me joy.

Tennis Background: I have had extensive experience playing and being coached for tennis since 4th grade. After receiving weekly private coaching for several years, I was recruited for the Hopewell Valley Central High School (HVCHS) Varsity Tennis team in my freshman year; early Varsity recruiting and receiving a “4-year Varsity Pen” upon graduation was extremely rewarding. In my junior year, I received the “Bulldog Player award” for mentorship and loyalty to the team, followed by MVP award – “Most Valuable Player” in the Senior year playing at the second singles position. I also played in over 40 USTA tournaments. I had the pleasure of working with the best coaches including my Varsity coach who has over 45 years of experience in coaching tennis.
