ABOUT Me
Hi, I’m John Aper, a Junior at Creighton University studying Finance and Entrepreneurship. I’ve been coaching tennis for the past four years, working at TAM Tennis Club and the Park Ridge Park District, as well as volunteering as a coach for the Special Olympics team in Omaha, Nebraska. I played high school tennis at Notre Dame College Prep and have experience coaching players of all ages, from 4 and up.
​
My focus is on helping beginners get started and develop the fundamental skills needed to enjoy and improve in the game. I also work with players on their overall development, tailoring lessons to their individual goals and needs. Whether you’re picking up a racket for the first time or looking to refine your skills, I’m here to help!
