Ilya is awesome. He does a great job assessing your tennis level and understanding what you want to achieve, and they provides appropriate instructions and drills. I highly recommend him.

About ILya Priest
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 great experience taking tennis lessons with Ilya. He is very professional, knowledgeable, and really knows how to teach. He explains techniques clearly and is able to identify what I need to improve, while giving practical advice that’s easy to understand and apply. He’s also patient and encouraging, which makes the lessons enjoyable and productive. I’ve definitely seen improvement in my game since working with him. Highly recommend Ilya to anyone looking for a great tennis coach!
Highly recommend ILya as a well rounded tennis coach whose lessons continue to light a fire for my passion towards the game of tennis. ILya is very punctual which I love. He also never holds back on providing honest criticism while pairing that with what corrective actions should be taken. Amazing for actualized long term progress. 10/10
Ilya is wonderful! Super professional, very responsive and a great coach. Would recommend for any age students
I had a great first session with Illya. He carefully evaluated my game and gave me clear, constructive feedback. He helped correct my forehand and backhand technique, as well as my overall body movement and positioning. I really enjoyed the session and look forward to continuing to train with him. Highly recommended!
Ilya is a great coach! We are starting from complete novice level and Ilya helped us learn front hand, back hand, with lots of fun drills. The lessons are great!
communication and instruction quality is the best! He does cater to individual need. lucky to have him! Thank you Ilya
My wife and I recently started learning tennis with coach Ilya, and it has been a very positive experience so far. He is easy to schedule sessions with, which makes it convenient to stay consistent with practice. As beginners, we really appreciate his teaching style. He explains the basics clearly and ensures we feel comfortable while learning. What stands out most is his high energy throughout each session, which keeps the lessons engaging and motivating. He consistently encourages us to practice and improve, creating a supportive environment that builds confidence along the way. Overall, he’s a great coach for anyone starting out in tennis.
Ilya is a great coach! So much fun and guidance. Definitely a great coach to get you started/working on tennis skills
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."
