About your tennis coach

I’m a tennis coach based in Santa Barbara with three summers of coaching experience, including UCSB’s summer tennis camp and my current role at Santa Barbara Tennis Club. I work with players of all ages and levels — from juniors building fundamentals to adults sharpening their game — and I’m currently pursuing my USPTA/PTR certification. I played college tennis and bring that competitive background into every lesson, focusing on technique, strategy, and making the game fun. Whether you’re just starting out or want to take your game to the next level, I’d love to get on court with you. 📍 Santa Barbara | Private lessons & hit sessions available

Beginner training plan
Your first lessonI do the first with all the shots This let’s me evaluate your strengths and areas for improvement, and determine whether it’s the right fit moving forward.
Lesson 2-3I emphasis on on gaining consistency through drills and point play. While having a fun time
Advanced training plan
Youth players
Working with kidsWith kids, I keep lessons high-energy and game-based rather than drill-heavy — most fundamentals get taught through fun, competitive games instead of standing in line hitting balls. I simplify my language and lean on demonstration.
Working with teenagersWith teenagers, I shift toward more technical detail and treat them as partners in their own development — explaining the ‘why’ behind drills, not just the ‘what.’ I bring in match strategy, mental toughness, and physicality earlier since they can handle it, and I give them more ownership over what to work on.
What you need to bringTennis shoes and a positive attitude.
What I can bringI will provide the balls, and if needed, I can also bring rackets—just please let me know in advance
