About Me
Part of High School, Varsity and Army team. I have coached many beginners and experienced players. I have been playing and coaching for many years
I am teaching kids from 4 years to adults, the oldest being 65. I am an experienced, patient and encouraging coach. I coach in the towns around Glenview.
Teaching Style
I like to teach beginners the basics of the sport and then progress with them at a pace they are comfortable with, teaching them the techniques and intricacies. I teach them forehand, backhand, serving, volleys and footwork in the first few sessions and then techniques of the game. For intermediate players I work on improving their techniques and understanding game play.

I have worked with Navin for several years now and it has been great. He is never late and he always secures a court for us. I appreciate how he is open minded and flexible with his approach. He will ask you what you want to work on and then he will offer ideas to help you get there. If you don’t know what you want to work on, that’s fine - he will evaluate your game and then make suggestions. Or if you just prefer to play points, he is up for that, too. His mindset is that it is your time and money, and he is there to help you make the most of it. He makes sure you stretch, listen to your body, and stay hydrated to avoid injury. I have seen good improvement in my game and I can recommend Navin without hesitation.
I had a great experience training with Navin. Every lesson was well organized and structured, starting with a warm-up, followed by focused drills, technique work, and match play where I could apply what I learned. Each session was engaging, productive, and tailored to my skill level. I worked with Navin over several lessons, and I genuinely looked forward to every one. Navin is an outstanding coach—patient, encouraging, and incredibly knowledgeable. He explained techniques in a way that was easy to understand and always provided helpful feedback without making me feel discouraged. Thanks to his coaching, I improved my consistency, footwork, confidence, and overall understanding of the game. I definitely achieved my goals and left each lesson feeling like I had made real progress. I highly recommend Navin to anyone looking to improve their tennis, whether you’re a complete beginner or a more experienced player. What makes him unique is his ability to adapt each lesson to the individual while creating a positive, motivating, and fun learning environment. He truly cares about his students’ success and helps them build both skills and confidence on the court.
I took lessons with Navin for almost a year. He is a great coach. Very professional and has helped me improve my strokes. I would highly recommend him!
