Born into a big tennis family, Tim started his tennis journey at the Pavillion & Avenue Tennis Club in Brighton, United Kingdom, at the age of 4.
His family moved to Spain when he was aged 7 to pursue fluency in a second language and play tennis full-time.
Under his father’s guidance (Master Coach LTA Level 5), Tim’s brother and Sister, Robert & Nadia Lee both acquired international ITF & WTA world rankings and played Division 1 NCAA College tennis in Texas, USA.
Throughout his time in Spain, Tim experienced training at some world-renowned academies such as JC Ferrero Equelite Tennis Academy in Alicante, and Sanchez-Casal Academy in Barcelona.
At the age of 18, Tim moved to the UK to further his coaching career. While completing his studies at Anglia Ruskin University, Cambridge, Tim acquired his International Coaching Certificates from the Lawn Tennis Association.
Tim has a Bachelor of Marketing and a Master’s in Information and Technological Studies.
His coaching philosophy is similar to the Spanish methodology of gritty tough training coupled with a clear focus on developing the correct technique from an early stage in one’s tennis career.
