BIO

I'm Govind Pillai, and I'm all about turning tennis lessons into a mix of effective learning and enjoyable moments. I specialize in coaching beginners, particularly kids taking their first steps with a racket. From mastering the basics to developing clean strokes and working on essential footwork, I keep things engaging and efficient on the court. I have played competitively for my school both in high School and college. I have worked with elementary/middle school beginners back in San Jose, CA.
