Ilya is the best tennis coach I’ve had! He’s is very professional and knowledgeable in tennis, he can correct issues with my form and point out how I can improve my swing right away. I already feel more confident in my tennis progress after my first lesson. Immediately bought a 10 class package (10% discount) from him after my first lesson, highly recommend!

I recently had a private lesson with Ilya and it was exactly what I needed to get back into tennis after years away from the court. I played a bit when I was around 4, so while I wasn’t a complete beginner, I definitely needed a solid refresher—and that’s exactly what this session delivered. From the start, Ilya was professional, energetic, and focused on helping me rebuild my fundamentals the right way. We worked on my grip and some swing technique and I could feel improvements even within the first hour. The coach had a great balance of technical feedback and hands-on drills, and he clearly knew how to adapt his teaching to match where I was starting from. What really made the session stand out was how engaging and efficient it was. The pace was perfect—not too slow, not too intense—and the coach offered clear, actionable tips that helped me feel more connected to the ball and more confident in my strokes. It was also just a fun experience. The vibe was relaxed but focused, and I walked away feeling re-energized and excited to keep progressing. If you’re someone who used to play and wants to return to the game with proper guidance, I’d highly recommend Ilya! It was a great way to reconnect with the sport and build a solid foundation to grow from.

I've been playing USTA league for a few years and recently started taking lessons with Ilya. It has been a great experience. He noticed the basic flaws in my technique and has been working on fixing them with interesting drills. Highly recommend if you're looking for a friendly, knowledgeable tennis coach.

My husband and I had our first lesson with ILya last Sunday. The best tennis lesson ever. We learned a lot that day, with fundamental theory and actual practices. He asked partner to take videos of each other for swing analysis.

FAQs

  • What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

    I start with a chat my new student’s tennis background, asking about their goals and listening to understand what they need to work on and what excites them. From the conversation and from seeing them in drills, I will craft a tailored lesson plan for the student.

  • How did you get started doing this type of work?

    I've always loved sports and I've been training since 2010.
