Tennis has been a big part of my life, and coaching gives me the chance to share that
with others. I work with players of all levels — from beginners learning to rally to
competitive juniors looking to sharpen their game.
What I Offer
Beginner Lessons
Fundamentals-first approach: grip, footwork, groundstrokes, and court awareness.
Great for adults and kids picking up the sport for the first time.
Intermediate Development
Consistency, point construction, and shot selection. For players who can rally
and want to compete more effectively.
Match Preparation
Strategy, mental game, and situational drilling. Focused on players preparing
for tournaments, leagues, or school tryouts.

Coach Pramukh is patient, fun and skilled at building both fundamental skills and
confidence in my kids's tennis game. His personalized feedback with a positive
attitude foster quick improvement. Couldn't recommend a better coach!

Coach Pramukh was very helpful in improving rather weak aspects of my game. I was
struggling with my two-handed backhand consistency and he noticed that I was not
generating enough pace on the backhand side — just floating the ball back into the
rally. He noticed that I also had a relatively smooth one-hander which he considered
to be a good alternative. We worked on both strokes and ultimately his guidance helped
me massively with timing the point of contact for my backhand. Always had some good
drills prepared for every lesson and offered great tips for my game. Highly recommend!

Pramukh's strengths as a coach are in his ability to understand his player's strengths
and weaknesses. He is able to work with players in strategy and form correction. He is
a great coach for beginners all the way to high level juniors and adults.

Pramukh was super honest about my game and was able to give me clear, simple advice
that helped me improve. I really appreciated his professionalism and genuine effort to
make a difference in my game.

Pramukh has been a great tennis coach for my daughter. He pays attention to details
and is willing to spend time to help correct my daughter's forms. Being an outstanding
player himself, Pramukh knows the right techniques, knows what drills are helpful, and
what it takes to become a good player. My daughter's skills improved a lot after working
with him. I'm very glad to see the result and will continue to work with him.
My Background
I've played tennis competitively since high school and carried that love for the game
through university. At UC Santa Barbara I was part of the club tennis team and eventually
led it — it was one of the best experiences I had in university, and I bring that same
passion to coaching. It was a genuinely tight-knit community and I'm grateful to have been
a part of it.
I focus on building a player's confidence alongside their technique — the mental side of
the game matters just as much as the physical. Whether you're picking up a racket for the
first time or prepping for competition, the goal is always the same: enjoy the process
and get better.
