I’ve had a few tennis coaches in the past, but Rahul stands out. He really takes the time to understand your goals and works with you to achieve them. The lessons are always engaging and filled with drills that are both fun and effective. What impresses me most is his passion for coaching—it’s clear he genuinely wants the best for his students. My game has improved tremendously since I started learning from him! Especially my serve consistency!

I joined club tennis in college with the hopes of making friends. I met Rahul who told me he could improve my game and get me into local tournaments. Thanks to him, I got to travel with the team because of massive improvements on my backhand and footwork!

Beginner training plan
Your first lessonIn the first lesson, I focus on assessing the student’s current ability and introducing the fundamentals of tennis in a fun and approachable way. We’ll cover grip, stance, and basic stroke mechanics, with plenty of time for guided practice and feedback. My goal is to ensure the student feels confident and excited to continue learning.
Lesson 11+In the remaining lessons, the focus shifts to fine-tuning technique, improving fitness and agility, and introducing match play. The goal is to develop confidence in playing full games, understanding tactics, and enjoying tennis as both a sport and a lifelong skill. Every lesson will be engaging, supportive, and tailored to the student’s unique needs.
Lesson 4-10From lessons 4 to 10, beginners can expect to progress significantly. We’ll incorporate more advanced techniques like volleys, serves, and rallying while focusing on consistency and control. By this stage, the student will begin to feel more comfortable with gameplay and strategy through drills and practice games.
Lesson 2-3In the second and third lessons, we’ll build on the basics by refining strokes like the forehand and backhand while introducing footwork and positioning. Beginners can expect fun drills and games to develop consistency and coordination, along with a focus on understanding the court and rules.
Youth players
Working with kidsWhen working with kids, I focus on creating a fun, positive environment that keeps them engaged while building foundational tennis skills. Lessons are filled with age-appropriate drills, games, and activities that prioritize hand-eye coordination, basic strokes, and movement. I keep instructions simple and offer plenty of encouragement to build their confidence and love for the game.
Working with teenagersWhen coaching teenagers, I adapt lessons to balance skill development with their specific goals, whether recreational or competitive. I introduce more advanced techniques, tactical awareness, and fitness training while keeping the sessions dynamic and challenging. I also foster independence by encouraging self-reflection and goal-setting, ensuring they remain motivated and invested in their growth.
What you need to bringA racquet (if possible), comfortable tennis shoes, and that’s it!
What I can bringI’ll bring balls, cones, and an extra racquet (or two!)
