Two coaches, every level. Hayk at $100 an hour, Markos at $120 — book whichever suits your week. Both come to a court near you — South Pasadena, Santa Monica, or a court you already play on. No membership, no marketplace fee, no waiting list.
Usually answered the same day · Ages 5 to 70 · Beginner to tournament level
Both coaches teach the whole game to every level — technique, footwork, serve, movement and match play. What differs is who each one is on court with most weeks. Book whichever suits your schedule; if you would rather we picked, just tell us the age and level.
Hayk coaches every level, and spends most of his week with juniors and players starting out — patient, genuinely fun to train with, and relentless about clean fundamentals.
Markos coaches every level, and spends most of his week with 3.0-and-up players — cleaner mechanics, sharper patterns, and matches that start going the other way.
Whichever one you book, the hour covers the same ground: grips and contact point, footwork and recovery, serve, point construction, and what to do when the thing you practised stops working mid-match. Neither coach is limited to a level, and neither will hand a player on because a session turned out too advanced or too basic.
What differs is who each of them is on court with most weeks. Hayk spends most of his with children, juniors and adults picking up a racket for the first time — the work that takes the most patience and the plainest explanations. Markos spends most of his with 3.0-and-up players, tournament juniors and adults who want technical work at speed; he is the head coach, has competed internationally, and is the one who also takes hitting-partner sessions. That is what the $20 reflects.
So book either one. If the time you want is open with one of them, take it — you are not getting a lesser lesson. If you would rather we chose, tell us the player’s age and level and we will say who we would put you with, including when that is the cheaper option.
Every one of them is a real hour of coaching on a real court, with a plan behind it.
One-on-one coaching built around one player. Technique, footwork, serve, strategy — in the order that actually moves your level.
Ages 5–14. First racket to first tournament, with a coach who keeps children engaged instead of bored on a baseline.
Complete beginners, returning players and league regulars. No membership, no judgement, no group of strangers watching.
For UTR and USTA juniors, high-school teams and college hopefuls. Patterns, point construction and pressure — coached by a competitor.
Not a lesson — a practice. Live-ball rallying at real intensity with someone who can hold the level you need to train against.
Three or four players, drill-based, competitive and social. The cheapest way into structured coaching at $55 a player.
Both teach the full game and both take any player. Tell us the age and level and we will say which of them we would put you with — you are matched, not just slotted in.
No booking platform, no service fee, no rotating instructor you have never met. You text the coach who will be on the court with you.
Every player gets a short plan — what we are changing, in what order, and what it should look like in four weeks. Parents get a message after each lesson.
No membership required. Tell us where you are between Downtown LA and the foothills and we arrange a court close to you.
Filmed during real lessons on the courts we coach on. No stock footage, no actors — just what an hour here looks like.

“I have been training with Markos for some time, and I can confidently say that he is one of the best coaches I have worked with. His training sessions are always well-organized, professional, and tailored to help players improve their skills effectively. I highly recommend him to everyone!”Arman A.Private Lesson · Adult Intermediate
Pasadena is home base. From there we cover the corridor that runs down through Eagle Rock and Highland Park to Downtown, and west through Glendale into Burbank.
Send this and it reaches the coaches directly — no marketplace, no call centre, no service fee. Most enquiries get an answer within a couple of hours during the day. If you would rather just text, that number works too.
A one-hour private lesson is $100 with Hayk and $120 with Markos. If you train two or more times a week, the package rate brings that to $90 and $110 per session. Group lessons for three to four players are $55 per player. Private coaching across Los Angeles typically runs from $85 to $140 an hour, so both of our rates sit inside the normal range for the area. Markos is at the upper end as head coach and the one who also takes hitting-partner sessions — not because the coaching itself is different.
Either. Both coach the full game at every level, so the honest answer is to take whichever one has the time you want. If you would like a steer: Hayk is on court most weeks with children, juniors and players starting out, and Markos most weeks with 3.0-and-up players, competitors and adults who want technical work at speed. Tell us the age and level when you book and we will say who we would put you with — including when that is the cheaper option.
No. We arrange the court, and there is no membership to join. And if you already have a court you would rather use — a club, an apartment building, a school, a private court at home — we will come to you instead. Just say so when you book.
That is the most common first lesson we run. Hayk starts children as young as five with shorter rackets, lower-compression balls and a court scaled to their size, so they are rallying in the first session instead of missing for an hour. Nothing needs to be bought in advance.
The first twenty minutes are assessment — we watch you or your child hit and find the one or two things holding the level back. The rest of the hour goes into the first of those. At the end you get a straight answer about where you are, what we would work on over the next month, and how often you would need to train to get there.
From five years old to adults in their seventies. Hayk handles the youngest players and beginners of any age; Markos coaches from solid intermediate through tournament level.
Tell us the player, the level and the part of town. We will match you to the right coach and arrange the court — usually the same day you ask.
