Private Lessons & Coaches in La Mirada, CA

Tennis has been part of my life for 11 years, and coaching is the part I've enjoyed most. My job is to make progress feel obvious. Lessons stay structured and focused, and you'll walk off the court knowing exactly what improved and what we're working on next. Every lesson is built around the person in front of me. Some players want technique broken down piece by piece. Others want to be pushed and play points right away. I'll ask what you're after, and we'll build from there. Not sure if we'd be a good fit? Send me a message. I'm always glad to talk it through before you book. See you on the court!

"Ali has been amazing with our 13-year-old, who’s just getting back into tennis after a long break. Ali is patient and encouraging, but also keeps high expectations—helping our son stay focused and confident. He adjusts his lessons thoughtfully when it’s hot or when our son gets frustrated, always turning setbacks into learning moments. He’s knowledgeable, observant, and makes every session productive and positive. Highly recommend!

I teach all ages and levels. Many of my players have gone on to play varsity at the high school level.

"Good progress 

I have a 5.0 UTR ranking and a total of 25 years dedicated to playing and coaching tennis across all ages and skill levels. As a former tournament player, my experience is enriched by my background as an elite gymnast and former Cirque du Soleil artist. This unique blend allows me to incorporate flexibility, balance, strength, and coordination exercises into my coaching methods, creating a holistic approach to training.

"Highly recommend this coach for technical guidance and thoughtful feedback. I improved quickly in just one session. We worked on a warm-up, forehand and backhand fundamentals, and hits from both the baseline and service line. He also brought in insight from his gymnastics and movement background, which was helpful because tennis a more fluid, almost dance-like feel. He understands the mechanics and genuinely cares about teaching.

I had the best professional teachers from childhood. Maradona, Pele, and Phillips. A couple more, I’ll tell you in person. Pepperdine University graduate. I coached a lot of younger professional players when I was young, anything to get their attention and they listened. Euro 2024 and a lot of countries players. If you want me to coach your team to win a league it’s not difficult for me. I don’t need to play to coach. I prefer to play and coach.

With over 25 years of experience in the game, golf has been a lifelong passion that has taken me from junior competitions to D1 collegiate golf and beyond. I played for Oregon State University and did not miss a tournament. Additionally, I have competed at the U.S. Girls Junior Amateurs twice (‘08, ‘09) and the U.S. Women's Amateurs twice (‘12, ‘14). My PR is 64 back in high school. After college, I competed professionally on the Cactus Tour in Arizona, where I secured a tournament win at -11.

"Seshia has been working with my son on the range for six months now, and the difference in his swing is night and day. Driving range practice can easily get boring for kids, but her patience is off the charts. She has a great way of explaining driver and iron tweaks in plain English, so he actually gets what she’s asking him to do instead of overthinking every shot. His contact off the tee and off the mats is way more consistent now, and he leaves every session excited about golf. She really knows how to build up a kid’s confidence without making it feel like a high-pressure lesson. Highly recommend Coach Seshia to anyone looking for a solid golf teacher!
