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. One of my most valuable experiences was serving as a hitting partner at an ATP tournament, where I trained with high-level athletes in a professional environment. I have worked with people ranging from age group of 9 to 60.
Hi! I’m Stanislas. I’m a competitive tennis player from France with over 17 years of experience and an 11.5+ UTR. I currently play collegiate tennis in San Diego and coach players of all ages and levels. I adapt each lesson to your goals, whether you want to build consistency through repetition or focus more on live-ball drills, point play, and competition.
With two decades on the court, I tailor my instruction to each player's goals and current playing abilities. As an experienced tennis player and NASM certified PT, I blend strategy, kinesiology alongside tennis fundamentals for real results and on-court success. Whether you're just starting out, or have been hitting for a while, let's elevate your game! *Requesting different coaching locations* I’m open to coaching at alternative locations in SD not listed on profile. If they are located in private communities, such as an apartment complex, please confirm if court reservations are possible when requesting.
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.
"My daughter has had an excellent experience training with coach Nik over the past two months. In this short period of time, her skills have dramatically improved in all key areas—forehand, backhand, serve, return, and footwork. Beyond technical development, her decision-making during matches has also significantly advanced.What stands out most is the coach’s structured and thoughtful approach to training. After every lesson,Nik provides a detailed report that outlines what was covered, highlights areas for improvement, and sets clear focus points. These reports have been incredibly helpful in guiding my daughter’s practice and accelerating her progress. During training sessions, Coach Nik explains each concept with great clarity and tailors drills to address specific weaknesses. This personalized and methodical approach has made a big difference in both my daughter’s performance and her confidence on the court.Thanks Nik!

"Coach Stephanie has been wonderful with my daughter. She just started taking lessons and already looks forward to every session. The instruction is patient, encouraging, and makes learning fun while building confidence and skills. What really stands out is Coach Stephanie's experience from playing at all levels of the game at a D1 college at UCLA and playing on the WTA Tour, along with the ability to effectively coach players of all skill levels--from beginners to advanced competitors. We're excited to see my daughter continue to grow and develop her skills with such a knowledgeable and supportive coach. Highly recommend!

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. |
