From my upbringing in Ukraine to my vibrant life in New York City, my diverse cultural background shapes my unique approach to music education. Drawing from my success in the John Lennon Songwriting Competition and collaborations with industry giants, I offer comprehensive lessons covering everything from song creation to music theory. Whether teaching in the comfort of your home or group settings, I provide a supportive space where you can freely express yourself and discover your inner spirit. With a passion for unlocking the potential of each student, I'm dedicated to guiding you toward greatness in music. Recently I have performed in Lincoln Center in Ritual of Breath opera.

"I saw increase of interest and skill

Throughout my coaching experience, I have focused on delivering personalized instruction that meets each athlete’s unique goals and skill level. I design structured yet adaptable lesson plans that strengthen fundamentals, refine advanced techniques, and build game intelligence. Beyond physical development, I emphasize confidence, discipline, and a strong understanding of the game that makes for qualities that help players succeed both on and off the field. I saw 7 of the kids I coached play DI baseball and one get drafted - 13th round of the 2025 MLB draft.

For over five decades, I've honed my skills on the court, reaching a competitive playing level and discovering a lifelong passion for tennis. Now, I channel that experience and enthusiasm into coaching individuals of all ages and skill levels. My personalized approach focuses on building solid technique, tactical awareness, and a genuine love for the game.

I have been playing tennis for over 10 years, training under experienced coaches and competing in tournaments for the past six years. As a current student-athlete on the Farmingdale State College Men’s Tennis Team, I have helped my team win two Skyline Conference Championships and qualified for the national tournament twice. I am passionate about helping players of all skill levels improve their game, develop strong fundamentals, and build the confidence needed to achieve their tennis goals.

"Coach Jake is very supportive and a good teacher! My partner and I always look forward to our next lesson and always find ourselves improved each time. Looking forward to more lessons with the coach!

Hi, I'm Anthony! I have been playing tennis for over 20 years and coaching for nearly 8 years. I most recently worked as a pro at UPenn Racquet Club before moving back to NJ. Alongside being a USPTR certified tennis coach, I'm also deeply involved in the arts as an actor, filmmaker, and singer. Tennis coaching is my passion, but when I'm not on the court, you'll likely find me immersed in the world of cinema. I'm particularly proud of my film "ETHEREAL," which has played at various film festivals. Balancing my love for both sports and the arts is what makes my life truly vibrant and fulfilling.

"Highly recommend!!

I run six pickleball sessions a week for my local church to raise money, combining my love for the game with a commitment to community service. My journey with paddle sports began as a kid, but it was in 2015, introduced to pickleball by my dad, that I truly found my passion. I fell in love with the game not only for its excitement but also for the positive social aspects it brings. Pickleball has a unique way of building connections and fostering a supportive community, and I strive to share that experience with others. Whether you're a newcomer or looking to improve your skills, I'm here to help you enjoy the game and be part of the amazing pickleball community.

"Had a great time learning from Matthew! He was super patient and even let me practice with the ball machine. He is super nice and kept the lesson fun. He also runs open play sessions with his church which I went to and was great to practice the things I learned.
