Table Tennis Coaching

I connect you with experienced, certified, and passionate table tennis coaches — people I’ve trained with, sparred with, and learned from. Decades of playing and coaching experience between them.

Whether you’re a beginner learning the basics, a junior aiming for school team selection, or an adult looking to sharpen your game, I’ll match you with the right coach for your goals.

I’m grateful to Coach Poh Huat. He trained me, and I’ve learned as much from him as from anyone in the sport.

Arik Chan – Table Tennis Coach

I usually leave table tennis coaching to the full-time coaches. But when time and opportunity allow, I’ll take a session — it keeps me sharp.

I started as a shakehand player and later switched to penhold. I now use the Reverse Penhold Backhand (RPB), with long pips on one side and smooth rubber on the other. Going through that change myself helps me understand what it’s like to adjust your playing style — the frustration, and the payoff.
