About
My name is Jahan Vijeh and I welcome you to Jazara Tennis Academy. Tennis and fitness are my biggest passions. I have been playing for over a decade and still compete when I am able. I have been coaching and teaching for 8 years now. I love to incorporate elements of personal training into my sessions because I am a firm believer of not just making a great tennis player, but a great athlete in general. I have years of weight lifting and athletic experience and hold a Fitness Coach certificate from DVC. Additionally, I am a competitive Pickleball player and am starting Pickleball lessons as well.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I start out by asking some questions about the student’s previous experiences in fitness, athletics, and tennis. Next, I start evaluating the player's skill level by either rallying with the player or hand hand feeding some balls, whichever I deem more appropriate. This also allows me to view the player's form and where they can improve, whether it's their feet or swing. After that, I'll find something the player can improve on and work on that, and then go on from there.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have had many tennis coaching jobs and give my own private lessons. I also was the Head Varsity Tennis Coach at Northgate High School in Walnut Creek and am currently a Tennis Professional at The Bay Club in Pleasanton. Additionally, I'm working towards getting a degree in coaching and sports medicine/nutrition, as well as certification to be a personal trainer.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
I charge $80 for a one hour private lesson; $120 for an hour and a half. $120 an hour for a semi private; For groups of three or more I charge $50 for each player for an hour lesson; $75 for an hour and a half.
I also have lesson packages:
Private: 5 for $380; 10 for $760
Semi-private: 5 for $550; 10 for $1000
Group 3+: 5 for $220; 10 for $450 (each player)
My prices are actually quite competitive. Many tennis coaches charge $100+ for private lessons.
How did you get started teaching?
I realized that tennis was my true passion. Ever since then, I have been adamant about working in the athletic/tennis field.
What types of students have you worked with?
I have taught beginners, intermediate, and advanced players of many ages.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Find a coach that works for you. Everyone is different, players and coaches alike. Likewise, different coaches have different teaching methods. Find one that suits you best.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
A few questions might be, "what do I need to improve on?" and "what is my end goal?" The second one is really imortant. Players/students should really think of a goal they want to achieve, whether that goal is short term, long term, or both. Players should communicate their goal or goals to their coach for the best possible results.
