Prior to each lesson there will be a screening phone call to ensure safety of both the client and the teacher. The teacher has a background check.

Testimonials and success stories

“It is my great pleasure to recommend Olia. When we started looking for private tennis lessons for my then 7 year old son, we were recommended Olia by our friends. I couldn’t be happier with how things have turned out since then. I could see a marked difference in my son’s game and I attribute a great deal of that to Olia’s coaching. Olia is very patient, has excellent communication and built my son’s game one week at a time. She has such a friendly personality that makes kids like her very much and take to her coaching. My son looks forward to his tennis classes every week. Thank you, Olia. ” Muralidhar

“Olia is a terrific tennis coach!   As an adult learner I have had to unlearn some incorrect habits, and she has been able to break down the components of the serve and play so that I could increase my skills.  She gently but persistently encourages and shapes my play.  Along the way, she has built my confidence and enjoyment in playing tennis.  And, importantly, she is a kind, cheerful, and simply delightful person to have as a coach!” – Debra   

“I have loved having Olia as a tennis instructor. She is always so optimistic, both about her student’s abilities and about everything else. Rain or shine, Olia always finds a way to turn anything into something positive. She makes it clear that, though she cares deeply about your progress as a tennis player, she cares even more about you as a person. Over the course of the last three months that I’ve had her as an instructor, I’ve learned a lot about tennis, but also about neurology and juggling and philosophy and so much more. Olia is a fountain of wisdom and compassion, and I am forever grateful to have been taught by her.” – Kate  

“My daughter started to attend tennis practice with Olia about 6 months ago. I couldn’t be more happier with the choice. Olia’s experience is amazing, she is very patient and knows how to connect with kids and produce results. Very flexible and good communication about kid progress, next steps, and results. Thank you for all You do”- Elena

Really proud of my former student Jolene to continue excelling at the game and getting world ranking! Since she was 8, Jolene took lessons with me for a year where we worked on building fundamental tennis skills, resiliency and endurance.
