Private Lesson FAQ

How long is a private lesson?

What if I've never played before?

Private lessons are ideal for beginners. You'll get dedicated attention to build proper fundamentals from the very first session.

Can I bring a friend to a private lesson?

If you'd like to learn with one other person, check out our semi-private lessons which are designed for two players.

How often should I take private lessons?

Most players benefit from 1–2 lessons per week, combined with independent practice between sessions.

Do I need my own racquet?

We can help you choose the right racquet if you don't have one. For your first lesson, we can provide equipment if needed.

Where do private lessons take place?

Lessons are held at public tennis courts in Northville and surrounding communities. We'll help find the most convenient location.

What should I wear?

Comfortable athletic clothing and court shoes (tennis shoes). Avoid running shoes as they don't provide the lateral support needed for tennis.

Can I focus on specific strokes?

Absolutely. Private lessons are fully customizable — we can dedicate entire sessions to serve technique, forehand development or any area you want to improve.
