About
I’m a professional tennis and Boxing/Muay Thai coach with many years of experience teaching students (beginner and intermidiate levels). I provide personalized coaching tailored to your goals and keep sessions fun and engaging. My experience includes teaching private one-on-ones, groups, adults, and children. Policy: Students are required to confirm their lesson at least one full day in advance. All lesson packages expire in 6 months from the date of purchase, and any unused sessions after that time will be forfeited. Cancellations or rescheduling must also be made at least 12 hours in advance; multiple last-minute cancellations may result in a 50% lesson fee being applied.

I've had a couple of sessions with Ilya so far, but already am very impressed. He breaks things down clearly, keeps the energy up, and I can already feel improvements in my game. Looking forward to continuing — highly recommend if you're looking for a coach who actually knows how to teach."

ILya is really awesome. He works extremely effectively with my 6 years old daughter who is new to tennis. She really enjoys the tennis class and learning with Ilya.

I just had my first tennis lesson with Coach Ilya and he was fantastic! Super knowledgeable, patient, and great at breaking down technique in a way that’s easy to understand. I could already feel improvement after just one session. Highly recommend him to anyone looking to up their game!

Ilya is a great coach! In just two sessions, we’ve worked on refining my stroke technique and, more importantly, my footwork. I feel much more balanced on the court and my overall game feels more fluid. Looking forward to more lessons! Highly recommend!

Ilya is very responsive, and scheduling was effortless. The lesson itself was excellent: Ilya is knowledgeable, easy to work with, and keeps the practice engaging, fun, and well-structured. I learned a great deal even on my first session and look forward to continuing my training with him.

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.
