I discovered my passion for tennis at the age of 10 and it quickly became my life's joy. Representing the Ukrainian school team was a dream come true. Tennis is not just a sport to me; it permeates every part of my life. My daughter follows in my footsteps as a tennis player, while my husband coaches the sport we all adore. For the past five years, I've been teaching tennis to children as young as three at my husband's tennis school, relishing in the progress and joy of every novice player, both young and old.
"Alright, my recent lesson with Liubov was quite helpful, especially since she pointed out specific details about my stroke that I hadn’t really paid attention to before. Though I still need to work on landing the ball more consistently, I felt like I made some steady progress. Still, I’m optimistic she’ll help me improve further over time. It’s clear she knows her stuff and guides with a calm, measured approach. If you're looking to get more precise with your game, I’d say you should give Liubov a try.

Chris has taught me some of the newer strokes as well as match play and in game thought processes to improve my overall play.
