I've been taking lessons with Ilya twice a week since April, and my wife has been training with him as well. He's been a great coach, reliable, patient, and genuinely dedicated to helping us improve.
What I appreciate most is his attention to detail and ability to pinpoint what's actually causing a technical issue. He has all kinds of creative drills to help fix specific problems, whether it's wrist relaxation, serve mechanics, or footwork.
He also knows which technical details really matter and which are just personal preferences, rather than trying to make everyone play the same way. During rallies, he adjusts the pace so you can actually focus on improving your technique instead of just trying to keep up.
He's always happy to answer questions, explain the reasoning behind his advice, and even review match videos to offer feedback.
I've worked with a few different coaches, and Ilya is definitely one of the best. I'd happily recommend him to anyone looking to improve their game!

Had to say that just after one lesson he spotted a range of improvements opportunities in my game and my serve. He is very observant and with a lot of good drills for me to practice. Thanks!

Illya has been a delight to learn from. He has great technical knowledge and a strong background in competitive tennis. My strokes have gone and continue to go through a radical transformation in terms of pace, depth, margin, and consistency. Thanks Illya!
