About Coach Ali

The Coach
Behind the
Academy

Based in Los Angeles, I provide personalized tennis coaching and private at-home swim lessons focused on technique, confidence, and long-term athletic development. From beginners to competitive athletes, every session is built around the individual in front of me.

Coach Ali

My Coaching Journey

I started competitive swimming at age 6 in Isfahan, Iran, where I earned first-place medals in medley, freestyle, and breaststroke before continuing the sport competitively in Los Angeles through high school.

I discovered tennis in 7th grade and later trained and competed with the UCLA Tennis Club. In 2021, I became certified through the Racquet Sports Professionals Association (RSPA, formerly USPTA).

Today, I use both athletic backgrounds to create personalized coaching built around each athlete's goals, confidence, and long-term growth. I've coached 60+ tennis players and 50+ swimmers across all ages and skill levels.

My 7+ years of aquatics experience includes working with the Westwood, Stoner, and Westchester swim teams, as well as 4+ years as a seasonal pool manager.
