Tennis Coaching

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 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.
