Basic tennis skills and knowledge are left out in order to make sure so many people feel like they are getting a workout. The more accomplished you are as a player, the larger number of people in your lessons the better. This allows for a great variety in point play drills. Shy away from large groups if you are a beginner or intermediate. The best present you can give yourself is a private lesson.
Many students shop around and price lessons.
Because they see the difference of the lower price of the group to the higher cost of a private, they opt for the groups. This is where quality counts more than quantity. There is very positive ratio of the number of private lessons to how quickly one improves. John Mills currently teaches tennis at the University of Houston, Clear Lake campus.
