Every lesson

Watch. Fix. Repeat.

Why private

Every minute is about you.

In a group, a coach divides their attention. In a private lesson, nothing gets missed — your grip, your split step, the half-second you’re late to the net.

Your coach spots the habit, explains the fix and feeds you the reps to lock it in, then gives you something specific to work on before you meet again.

What we work on

Bring a goal. Leave with a plan.

Fix a stroke

The coaching standard

Taught the PureKing way.

Break every skill down. Build it back step by step.

Head Coach Yunyi Zhu — recognized by the U.S. with an EB-1A extraordinary ability designation — designs our step-by-step curriculum and trains our coaching staff. Your private lessons follow the same method, so what you learn one-on-one carries straight into group play.

Keep building

Private lessons go further with game time.

Fix it one-on-one, then test it for real. Most players pair lessons with a weekly group or match play.

Is it a fit?

Private lessons are great if you…

  • Want to fix one specific part of your game, fast
  • Have a tournament or tryout coming up
  • Are an adult who’d rather learn without a crowd
  • Want extra reps on top of a weekly group

Not sure what you need? Start with a free level check — a 5–15 minute, in-person chat with a coach.
