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.
In 2021, the team went to the semi-final for group 2 --- and won the finals for NJSSIA.
