Experienced tutor in Tennis in San Francisco, Sanyi offers private lessons tailored to your needs.

Sanyi is an excellent teacher I would highly recommend to anyone looking to bring his/her game to the next level. He is patient, great at giving feedback and explanations, adjusts his lessons when needed and his is also fantastic with kids. My son and I both love our sessions with him. We’ve seen amazing results since we started taking lessons with Sanyi 5 years ago. He simply is fantastic.

Sanyi is kind and an amazing coach. He has really helped me with my strokes and strategy. I take away at least three things to work on and think about until the next lesson. My game has improved and my teammates have noticed. Best decision I made to help my game!

Sanyi is both professional and patient. He quickly observed what I was doing wrong, demonstrated the proper technique and made changes in my grip and foot placement. My ground strokes have improved substantially and my serve continues to progress.

Sanyi is the tennis coach that I have been searching for! He is diligent and thoughtful in his coaching, as he stops to correct all mistakes throughout the lesson, focusing on one aspect at a time. Subsequently, he has edited my footwork, timing, swing, follow through, and overall tennis game. In addition to technique, Sanyi brings fun to the court through match play and his positive spirit. I highly reccomend playing with him!

I highly recommend Sanyi as a tennis coach! Sanyi has taught our son for about 5 years, helping him develop from a complete beginner to having the confidence to play (and win matches) on his school team. Sanyi has a disciplined, patient and thoughtful approach that our son (who is not particularly sporty) really enjoyed.

I’ve been taking lessons with Sanyi for the past year. His knowledge of the sport is extensive and in depth, so he can trail problems in the game back to the roots and make a fundamental change at that level. He is also funny and easy going. I feel like a kid learning his favorite subject from his favorite teacher.

I don't think I could be in better hands learning tennis than with Sanyi. My son started lessons with him last year, and seeing them interact made me want to get back into it as well. He's patient, charismatic and dedicated. Whether you're looking for a fun way to learn how to play, or a professional coach to improve your skills, I highly recommend him!

A master of his craft, Sanyi is also a great pedagogue, in a way that feels friendly and familiar.
The only complaint I have is that our time together goes by too fast, haha! We’ll have to revisit our schedule for more lessons, Sanyi. You’re the best, thanks!!

Sanyi is very perceptive and any time something goes wrong, he can exactly explain why so I can improve. He helped me re-learn all the right techniques so my game has improved a lot.

After taking tennis lessons from Sanyi my form has improved immensely. He was able help me achieve the right mechanics on all of my shots (ground strokes, volleys, serve) one step at a time. He has solid technical knowledge of the game and a great coach's eye. He is also a really nice guy! He's easy to talk to and always keeps the lessons fun.

Sanyi have been teaching my kids and I for few years. He is very patient, always emphasizing proper technique and keeping the kids engaged. I highly recommend Sanyi as a tennis instructor.

I've learned more from Sanyi during the last two years of lessons than the previous 40 years of playing. He has the ability to spot areas requiring improvement, then provide visuals and cues to correct them. He is also reliable, pleasant and encouraging. I can't recommend him enough.

Sanyi is outstanding! I have been taking lessons with him for a while now and all areas of my tennis game have improved as a result. He has helped me feel confident hitting both forehand and backhand and we are making great strides with my serving and volleying. To achieve this, he uses his great eye for detail to identify technical things you might be doing incorrectly or need improvement on and then gives you concrete, step-by-step ways for correcting and improving. And he's fun! Sanyi always has a positive attitude and is a great at helping you stay relaxed and focused even when you are not hitting your best.

My family have been taking lessons with Sanyi for over two years and he has been an outstanding teacher. He has been able to adjust to our different ability levels -- not to mention different personalities! -- and help each of us improve. He always manages to be positive and encouraging, while still pushing us to do our best. A friend of mine who has played tennis for many years, and lived all over the country, told me that Sanyi was hands down the best tennis teacher she's ever had. I couldn't agree more!

My girls started playing with Sanyi at age 4 and we are so grateful for his coaching. Now, 5 years later, we see quite clearly the value Sanyi brings. He is a very meticulous, involved, dedicated, nurturing teacher who wants children/people to develop the best form possible so that they have a solid foundation. He's also very verbal so he will correct my girls almost after every swing so they can make the necessary adjustments to learn properly, not just make a good or decent hit. Overtime, this kind of repetition and correction, has led them to have a very graceful and consistent approach to tennis- so much so ..that other people have commented on being impressed they have such nice form. Of course.... this is the foundation to become a very solid player ! We are so grateful that Sanyi takes his time and invest so much energy. I highly recommend him --not just for children --but at any age. He knows his stuff and cares deeply. Its a great combination in a coach and we don't plan on letting him go!

As a late-in-life beginner I've been taking lessons with Sanyi for over two years. His instructions are precise, and he is incredibly patient. He focuses on good form and technique, and has taken me on a small-step-by-small-step journey starting with the basic strokes, to the strategies of game play. Sanyi is an awesome coach, who understands how to challenge you and give confidence at the same time. Highly recommendable!
