Michael has been an amazing instructor and has helped me take my tennis to the next level and beyond. He has helped refine my strokes and develop an actual swing. He is a different tennis coach then any I’ve seen. Michael also turns old tennis sayings on their head. If you’ve ever heard the saying to swing “low to high” Michael can help you fix your tennis and break the old habits.

About Michael Harley
I am truly passionate about my teaching. Although I am an U.S.P. T.A Certified tennis Instructor with all the credentials and reviews. I can just say...I care. My lessons are 75 minutes rather than the standard 60 and will go over if necessary. Results are what is important....and I do not stare at my watch. I love to see the smiles on my students faces as they both improve and have fun doing it.
Reviews
I found Michael and hired him based on all his great reviews After meeting him, then watching him interact and teach both my 5 and 7 year old and 7 I was impressed. I had seen one review that looked very bizarre and chose to discount it. I’m very Glad I did. This instructor shows so much passion and it clear how much he t truly cares about helping his students.
I would not recommend, he seems unreliable and/or unorganized. My first appt with him was rescheduled because the one I booked overlapped with another’s session, and on the second appt I scheduled this guy was a no show.
Not a good teacher. He got frustrated easily and was belittling to my kids.
The first tennis lesson was so incredibly helpful! He takes time to focus on each skill and gives great analogies to help you visualize. He will work with you until it’s right- even in 100° heat! Even sent follow up notes on form etc. Could not recommend him enough!
1st lesson the boys had fun and learned a lot. They are looking forward to learning more.
I was super happy with our 1st lesson. Michael is working with my 5 year old and was able to engage him for an hour lesson. Very impressive !
Mike helped my husband and I both so much after just one lesson. Very good instructor and looking forward to continuing!
I took a few lessons from Michael on my mini vacation to Florida. He gave me some excellent pointers and helped me improve my game tremendously in a short period of time. I would highly recommend him to anyone who wanted to up their game. Thanks Michael for your help!
Mike is awesome! Cares about your progress and pushes you to be better. He uses lots of different techniques to help you understand the concept. Highly recommended. Thanks Mike!
