Introduction: Hi everyone! My name is Dmitriy. I offer professional tennis lessons for people of any level and any age! I have a team of 7 coaches: coach Dima, coach Ilya, Coach Adam, coach Aibol, coach Casey, coach Amir, coach Marius who are really passionate about tennis and love to see the same passion in other people! Our main goal is to help people to get better at this beautiful sport.
A little bit about myself: I was recruited from Kazakhstan to play tennis for college in California in 2017! I started playing tennis in 2010. In 2015 I reached professional level and I was 3rd in the state and the top 2 players players above me were top 500 in the world under 18 years old. When I was about to play professional tennis tournaments ITF and ATP (futures) I got injured and had to have a surgery on my knee. Before surgery I was recruited to play for college in California but unfortunately couldn’t come back to professional level after surgery. Despite all of that I still don’t give up and still continue to play tennis and I would really love to share the skill and experience that I’ve gained over years with people who wants to learn tennis or raise their level of game!
We are really passionate about tennis and love to see the same passion in other people and help them to get better at this beautiful sport. We’ve been coaching tennis for 8 years doing private tennis lessons, group lessons and hitting lessons. If you want to improve your game or start from the beginning that’s the best place to be. We teach professional technique, footwork, conditioning, strategy, all types of serves and all other attributes that will make you a great player. Feel free to contact me and we can talk more about it and set a time and place for a lesson!

My sons had the tennis lessons. Coach taught my son patiently how to handle the racket and hit the ball. He did improve a lot in the lesson. Most important thing is that my son like coach’s teaching. He teaches professionally but no pressures, so that my son could feel the fun of tennis. For my part, I really appreciate the quick response from the coach. I highly recommend this coach.

First tennis lesson for my son, who is 15, was amazing! The coach demonstrated energy, passion and drive. My son has not been enjoying lessons with his previous coach through a tennis center, but looks like he enjoyed his first lesson with Coach Ilya. Looking forward to seeing where these lessons will take him. Thank you, Ilya and Dmitriy!

My kid who has been learning tennis through group lessons had her first coaching session with Dmitriy and I can see her footwork and technique improve within that session. He was focused and quick to point out improvements on swings and footwork. I can see my daughter playing full court tennis in next fee weeks with the help of Dmitriy. I plan to continue with him and glad found him through Thumbtack.

As a total beginner to tennis, I just had my very first lesson with Dmitriy, and I am already head over heels for the sport! The hour flew by like a minute. I've only just begun my journey with tennis, but Dmitriy swiftly helped me understand the key basics - footwork, the path of the racquet, and shuffle steps. Within the first third of the lesson, he pinpointed where I could grow and demonstrated, in a detailed and easy to follow manner, how I could improve.
While footwork might not seem like the most thrilling part of tennis to some, Dmitriy made me realize how crucial it is for my overall game performance. Mastering this will undeniably boost both my consistency and self-assurance on the court. Miraculously, by the end of our hour together, my forehand was already transformed! Can't wait to tackle my backhand and serve next. :)
Walking off the court, I felt an incredible surge of energy and anticipation for the potential of my future games under Dmitriy's supervision. I am thrilled to have discovered him on this platform!
