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.
Hi! My name is Tobi and I am a qualified San Diego tennis coach with PTR and have over 17 years of playing experience in the UK and USA and over 14 years of teaching experience.

"Great!
A dedicated 5 USTA player, tennis has been woven into the fabric of my life since the tender age of 5. The passion for this sport runs deep within me, driving my commitment to continuous growth and excellence on the court. Let's hit the courts, feel the thrill of the game, and strive for tennis greatness together!
"Rafael's lesson was pretty good, especially since I got some useful tips on volley positioning. Though I didn't expect much change overnight, I feel a bit more comfortable on quick exchanges now. Still, there’s definitely room to improve, but I’ll keep at it and hope for steady progress. You might find him worth trying if you want a calm, measured approach.
With three decades on the court, I bring passion and expertise to every lesson. As a former college player, I blend technical skill with a fun, engaging approach. Let's elevate your tennis game together!
"My son's first lesson was great! He's looking forward to the next one.

bring a strong background in coaching and on-court performance. I have worked closely with players in a coaching capacity, helping develop consistency, match awareness, and overall performance through structured hitting sessions and feedback.

I have worked with people ranging from age group of 9 to 60.

I offer a rare opportunity to beginners or existing players to learn tennis instantly or reach their full potential. With over 18 years of coaching and 28 years of playing experience I've developed thousands of players. I've coached players like Nikoloz Basilashvili during 2021 Indian Wells Finals who cracked ATP top 20 ranking. Currently i still work with over 300 players annually.
"The real deal! Helped me a ton with putting power on my backhand and hit the ball 10x more consistent. Really learned a lot. Had lots of fun too. If you're on the fence - just give it a try. Good for beginners and advanced.
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!
"Spencer was great!! I feel better after just one session. Couldn’t recommend him more

San Diego's coastal climate supports outdoor tennis effectively year-round, with mild temperatures, low humidity, and one of the longest comfortable lesson windows in the country. That removes the weather-driven cancellations that limit colder cities and lets students lock into a steady weekly cadence on hard court. The local coaching roster is unusually broad on backgrounds: a former NAIA tennis player with seasoned camp-coaching experience, instructors with 20+ years on court, and tennis pros teaching specific competition tracks. Most San Diego coaching happens on hard courts at public parks and school venues (Colina Del Sol, Mission Hills/Pioneer Park, Roosevelt Middle School, Linda Vista Rec, North Park Rec). Clay courts are rare on the public side; almost all match play and tournament prep in the area happens on hard surface, which keeps lesson and competition surfaces aligned. The marine layer and June Gloom can cool morning sessions on west-side courts in early summer - book mid-morning or afternoon if you want the sun out.

| Private (1-on-1) | 1 student | $80-$180 / lesson | Fastest improvement, individualized stroke and footwork feedback every shot. |

| Group clinic | 4-6 students | $50-$80 / person | Lowest cost per session; high-volume hitting and live-ball drills; less individual correction. |
| Level | Frequency | Duration | Notes |

| Intermediate | Every 1-2 weeks | 60-90 min | Players who can rally consistently work on specific weaknesses - second serve, kick serve, backhand slice, transition game. |
| Advanced | Weekly or every 2 weeks | 90 min | USTA league or tournament-track players - match-pattern drilling, serve-and-return work, live point play, and tactical review. |
