Our Tennis Coaches

Tim Lee

Tennis wasn't something I came to — it was something I was born into. My father learned the game in the 1960s with wooden rackets, and long before I was born in 1994, he was already deeply embedded in the UK tennis community. He ran a tennis programme in the Middle East — where he met my mother — before returning to the UK and eventually achieving LTA Master Coach Level 5.

When I was four, I started playing at Pavillion & Avenue Tennis Club in Brighton. At seven, our family moved to Spain so I could train full-time. Those years shaped everything. I trained at JC Ferrero Equelite in Alicante and Sanchez-Casal in Barcelona. My father also built our own courts in southern Spain and ran a family tennis academy there. My brother Robert and sister Nadia both acquired international ITF and WTA world rankings, and went on to play Division 1 NCAA college tennis in Texas — a pathway I watched closely and later helped guide others through.

At 18, I moved to Cambridge. I completed my Bachelor's in Marketing and Business and my Master's in Information Technology at Anglia Ruskin University, earning my LTA International Coaching Certificates alongside my studies. During my masters year, a close friend and mentor handed over full responsibility of the tennis club to me. That was the moment I understood what it meant to lead a programme, not just coach in one.

I've been fortunate to have many business and tennis mentors throughout my journey — each one has shaped what I bring to the table today. Following my passion for the sport and an honest love of coaching, I'm now based in Singapore, training players at all levels and competing in tournaments whenever I can.

Tim's coaching draws on three distinct influences: the Spanish academy system — where he trained at JC Ferrero Equelite in Alicante and Sanchez-Casal in Barcelona — the British LTA structure he qualified under, and the family academy his father built in southern Spain. These aren't just credentials. They're the foundation of a coaching philosophy that's been tested across countries, cultures and playing levels.

With connections to coaches, academies and players across the UK, Spain, USA and China, Tim brings more than lessons to the court. Whether it's tournament preparation, academy pathways, scholarship routes or simply understanding where you sit as a player on a global scale — that knowledge is part of what you're getting.

Tim doesn't just coach strokes — he coaches players. That means covering every dimension of the game: mindset, match play, fitness, body maintenance and care, nutrition, and the finer details that separate good players from great ones. The goal isn't just improvement session by session — it's helping each student reach the very best of their ability.

Throughout my journey I've been fortunate to have many business and tennis mentors — coaches, club directors, entrepreneurs — each one leaving something behind that I carry into every session I coach. What I bring to the court today is a product of all of them.

Melany Krywoj

Melany Krywoj is a high-performance tennis coach with an inspiring international playing background and a deep understanding of what it takes to succeed at every level of the game. Originally from Lobos, Buenos Aires, Argentina, she picked up a racquet at age seven and quickly turned early passion into elite results through discipline, resilience, and relentless work ethic. As a junior, Melany rose to become the No. 1 player in South America and competed on some of tennis's biggest stages, including junior Roland Garros and Wimbledon. Her journey through international competition gave her firsthand experience with pressure, preparation, and the mental toughness required to perform consistently in demanding environments. What sets Melany apart as a coach is not just her résumé, but her perspective. She has lived the full athlete journey—from early development and sacrifice to world-class competition and life-changing transitions—and now uses those lessons to guide players with both technical precision and personal care. Melany also pursued her U.S. college path with the same determination, mastering the language and academic requirements needed to earn a scholarship opportunity at Baylor University. Today, she brings that same commitment to her coaching: helping players build strong fundamentals, confidence under pressure, and a clear path toward their own goals—whether competitive, collegiate, or personal.
