I made the decision to continue my tennis career by going to America and playing in a Division 1 conference. This enabled me to travel all around the U.S. playing many colleges whilst still being able to get a degree.

Coaching tennis is something I have very much enjoyed, I love interacting with players and discussing the game. Since the age of 15 I have worked at my local tennis club coaching summer camps.

In the last two years I have begun giving private lessons to adults and kids which has advanced my coaching abilities. As tennis has always been very special to me, I am looking to continue in the field by coaching at clubs, academies or resorts in order to continue my passion.

Testimonial

My daughter Milly was coached on a one-to-one basis by Lidia in the Summer of 2019 at Queen's Tennis Club. Milly enjoyed the sessions very much and her skills developed greatly during that period. Previously Milly had not been very keen to play tennis but following Lidia's coaching she has carried on with coaching at her school. Lidia is a very enthusiastic and patient teacher. I would recommend Lidia as a coach to anybody wanting to learn tennis from the start or people who have been playing for a while and want to improve their technique.

Testimonial

I started hitting with Lidia about 7 years ago when I was 12, she pitched her hitting against me at just the right level to push me and help me improve, she was always happy to give me advice on my technique too and having her as my hitting partner alongside my coach helped my game enormously. I would recommend Lidia to anyone who wants to up their game, junior or senior
