Reza was referred to us through a friend and we are so glad! He is enthusiastic, patient, and engaging, which is exactly what my kiddo needed. We chose to try 1:1 swim coaching after several failed rounds of community centre lessons, which left my son anxious and refusing to participate. With Reza, it has been a completely different experience. In just a few lessons, he has already taught my kiddo more skills than he had acquired through his community centre lessons, and his confidence in swimming has grown significantly. He is now willing and ready to learn and to build upon his newfound skills. Would definitely recommend.

Reza has turned my two boys into lovers of the water. My youngest is quite anxious in the water. His amazing patience and fun methods helped him relax immediately. He is very supportive and teaches him the steps for everything so he felt confident and safe. My oldest has learned so many different techniques and has improved his strokes with the approach Reza has. He builds on skills so that the kids succeed. We are so happy we found him!

I'm very impressed by Reza's positive energy with my children. Reza adjust his methods to every kids he teaches, making games with my little one, to make him confident in water, and giving appropriate challenges to my older kid. He is always encouraging towards the progress of our children and I've seen such a big difference in their skills since we started his classes in November! I highly recommend him as a teacher!

My son was not keen on swimming, but after 6 lessons with Reza, my son’s ability and confidence has increased tenfold. I can not believe how much he has improved in such a short amount of time. Reza is so much fun! He’s able to teach in a way that keeps kids engaged, while being super supportive and caring. He scaffolds the learning so that all of the pieces come together organically. My son never feels stressed or pressure to perform in his swimming classes. I would highly recommend Reza! I may even take some lessons myself.

My two boys worked with Reza over 3 lessons to work on breast stroke and whip kick, rollovers, and trading water, which they had difficulty with during swimmer 5 community centre lessons. Reza helped them improve their skills very quickly. He was very conscientious and very engaged in their improvement.
