Hi! I am a RSPA Elite certified tennis professional and RSPA Professional certified pickleball professional with many years of coaching and playing experience. Currently, I am a full-time head racquets professional at a private club. I also am a former head college coach, where I was awarded the “2019 Women’s Coach of the Year.” I was also a two-time college conference champion with over 100 career wins at number one singles and number one doubles. I believe that tennis is for everyone. I focus on individualizing the needs of each player because not every player has the same strengths and weaknesses. I believe creating a fun and inclusive environment is needed to grow as a tennis player. I am very analytical and love to breakdown technique and strategies. Tennis has been a part of my life for so long so I am excited to share my passion with others!



I am a Detroit Symphony Orchestra violinist and an experienced teacher for serious intermediate, advanced, and adult violinists. My strength is helping students solve specific technical and musical problems and build stronger performance ability. Lessons are goal-driven and based on real professional experience: we identify the target, diagnose the obstacles, and build a clear training strategy for auditions, competitions, exams, orchestral excerpts, and professional orchestra preparation.
"Hongyi first took time to carefully understand my background & goals. Then he evaluated my playing and came up with a multi-pronged approach to improve my technique and skills. This includes a slow vibrato exercise, a method to improve my relaxation during fast passages, detailed double stops work, a method to broaden my attention while playing in orchestra, and challenging sight-reading practice. He also helped me understand the intricacies of bow evaluation so that when I do buy a new bow, I’ll be making an informed decision. My vibrato has become much more controlled, allowing me to play a key passage much more beautifully. I’m beginning to embody relaxation in my playing, which has improved my sound quality & significantly increased my stamina during fast passages. And I’m starting to adopt key skills needed for successful orchestral playing. Hongyi’s analogies and stories during lessons have helped difficult concepts sink in so that my practice is effective. He shares his extensive real-world experience which helps me understand what is required and shift previously ingrained habits.
