Meet Maja, a Tennis Coach in El Cajon, California.
Maja’s tennis story started at an age of 5. While walking every day near her local tennis courts and watching tennis matches, to asking for her first tennis racket, Maja's exquisite talent and spirit of sport was recognized at an early age by her first coach - her Dad. Soon after winning numerous renowned tennis tournaments in her home country of Croatia, Maja began her professional career as a Junior, and continued her success in Europe and Internationally. Her tennis career was followed by a team of coaches and her family who supported her along the way and from whom she learned the key elements to tennis: humbleness, dedication, patience, and positivity. During these years, Maja had the opportunity to visit numerous countries around the world and meet people from different cultures and backgrounds, many of which are still her friends today. With an injury that paused her professional career, she was pleased by an offer from the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) where her friend and former European Professional Tennis player established SCAD's first tennis program. SCAD's President Paula Wallace was searching for prestigious athletes and wanted to represent SCAD not only as a No.1 Design School in the USA, but also as the finest USTA Tennis College in the United States. Maja decided to visit the University, and the following year became SCAD's Women Tennis Team Captain. She achieved a historical moment for SCAD by winning the first USTA National Championship Title in 2012. With her warm, joyful and competitive spirit, she became the first SCAD Tennis

Meet Spencer, a Tennis Coach in El Cajon, California.
I’ve played tennis all my life, always having access to courts and developing a deep appreciation for the sport's unique rhythm and strategy. I believe that each player should develop their own style because we’re all different. My dad, a math, tennis, and boxing instructor, taught me that these disciplines share a lot in common. Mastering tennis is about perfecting your shots, serves, slices, and footwork, but it ultimately comes down to the mental game. On the court, you learn the "equations" of actions and behaviors needed to outplay your opponent, turning each match into an artful challenge of skill and technique. For me, tennis is about the joy of the game, not just winning or losing. It's a sport that starts with love and ends with respect—whether through a handshake, a hug, or a simple nod if you're too sweaty. Most importantly, tennis is always a good time, and it’s a lifelong sport that can help you live healthier and longer!

The Power of Private Tennis Lessons
7 min read
Tennis is one of the most popular sports in the world with over 23.8 million players in the United States. Playing the sport requires a combination of physical strength, mental focus, and strategy. Whether you want to compete at a high level or simply enjoy tennis recreationally, improving your skills requires time and effort. So, if you're just getting started playing and you’re serious about becoming a better player, beginner tennis lessons are the most effective way to level up your game. Or, even if you're an experienced player, tennis lessons are a great way to improve. An expert tennis coach shares personalized training that helps players improve at all skill levels. In this post, we’ll explore what private tennis lessons are, the many benefits they offer, and share tips on how to get the most out of your sessions.Private tennis lessons usually consist of one-on-one instruction, with a coach focusing solely on one tennis player. However, small group lessons are also an option, usually involving two to four players working with one coach. These group “private” lessons are often more affordable while still providing targeted guidance and personalized feedback. TeachMe.To offers flexible formats to match your schedule and goals. Just visit our tennis lessons near me page found her to connect with an expert tennis coach today. Private coaching lessons help individuals focus on specific areas that need improvement. During your first lesson, your coach will start assessing your strengths to develop a unique playing style that makes the player more formidable on the court. For example, a coach might notice that you need some help with serving, footwork, or court awareness.Another benefit of private lessons is that you are able to learn at your own pace. In group classes, players often have to keep up with the pace of the rest of the class, which may feel too fast or too slow. With private instruction, you can go at a speed that suits your learning style and is relative to current skill set. Whether you want to spend extra time mastering basic techniques or if you're ready to dive into advanced strategies, the pace is entirely up to you. This personalized approach ensures you make steady progress without feeling rushed or held back by others.Private tennis lessons are also valuable when preparing for tournaments. A coach can design training sessions specifically around your competition schedule, fine-tuning techniques and focusing on strategies based on past performances. They can help you mentally prepare for high-pressure situations, giving you the confidence needed to perform your best under challenging conditions. Proper preparation through private lessons can make all the difference between winning and losing in a competitive match.In addition to improving your skills, private lessons focus heavily on safe techniques to reduce the risk of injury. Tennis places significant stress on joints and muscles, so learning proper form is essential for avoiding any long-term injuries. A coach will teach you the correct movements to keep your body healthy, ensuring that you can continue to play the sport you love for years to come. Another major advantage of private lessons is the undivided attention you receive from your coach. In group settings, it’s easy for players to get overlooked, but one-on-one lessons guarantee that every moment is spent focused on your improvement. A coach can give you detailed feedback, analyze your technique in real time, and make immediate adjustments to enhance your performance. Private lessons typically last between 30 to 60 minutes, depending on a player's goals, skill level, and preferences. Shorter sessions may be ideal for beginner tennis lessons, while more advanced players often prefer longer lessons to dive deeper into techniques and strategies. It’s important to discuss your goals with your coach to determine the ideal lesson length that works best for you.Consistency is key when it comes to improving in tennis. To see meaningful progress, most coaches recommend scheduling at least two private lessons per week. Repetition is crucial to master new skills and to prepare for high-pressure situations. The more often you practice, the more natural your movements become, and private lessons provide the structure needed to build these habits.Private tennis lessons can vary in price depending on the coach’s experience and location. On average, most tennis lessons average around $50 for a one hour tennis coaching lesson. To find the most recent pricing visit our tennis lessons near me page. While some players may worry about the cost, many programs offer flexible pricing options to accommodate different budgets. Group “private” lessons are another affordable alternative, providing many of the same benefits of one-on-one training while splitting the cost among a few players. Players can book for up to 3 students instantly or contact us to request a larger group. Investing in private lessons is ultimately an investment in your development as a player, helping you improve faster than you would on your ownFor the best results, private lessons should be combined with group drills or practice matches. While private lessons focus on individual skills and technique, group drills let students apply their skills in a dynamic setting with other players. Many athletes find that scheduling one or two private lessons each week, along with one or two group drills, creates a balanced practice routine that accelerates skill development. This combination offers the best of both worlds—personalized attention and the chance to test your skills in live play.Private lessons aren’t just for high-level athletes. Players of all ages and abilities can benefit from one-on-one instruction. Beginners, in particular, gain a strong foundation by learning proper techniques right from the start.

Meanwhile, more advanced players can use private lessons to fine-tune their game and polish specific areas that need improvement.In order to get the most out of your private tennis lessons, preparation is essential. Players should arrive early to warm up, stretch, and make sure you’re properly hydrated. You should also check your equipment to ensure everything is in order before your lesson begins. During the session, pay close attention to your coach’s feedback—it can be helpful to take notes or record key points to review later. Practicing the skills you’ve learned between lessons is also critical for building consistency. The more you reinforce new techniques, the more natural they will feel over time.Private tennis lessons offer a customized training experience that helps players improve faster and more effectively.
