Had my first tennis lesson and was impressed! The instructor quickly spotted the issues with my form and helped me correct them during the session. Could immediately feel the improvement in my shots. Great teaching approach - highly recommend!

As a beginner, I’ve really appreciated training with my tennis coach over the past 3 weeks. He’s great at pointing out what I’m doing wrong and breaking things down in a simple, clear way that actually makes sense. He’s also kind and patient, and you can tell he genuinely enjoys teaching. Highly recommend for anyone just starting out or looking to build a strong foundation.

Excellent instructor! I never played tennis before, but Ilya was great in teaching the basics and on how to swing the racket. He is very friendly and patient, and I am excited to take more lessons from him. I would definitely recommend him as a tennis instructor.

I just had my first lesson with Ilya today and it was awesome! He’s super friendly, really patient, and made me feel comfortable even as a complete beginner. I already learned a lot and I’m excited to keep going. Definitely recommend if you want to get into tennis!

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!

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.
