I am a member of a local group of home educators for the last 20+ years. I organized a group of students (grades 8-12) to learn six weeks (2 hours per week) of tennis at the Niagara Academy of Tennis at the beginning of 2023. The size of the group was 20 to 24 students each week.
The feed back from the group has been VERY positive! Almost all of the students had little to no experience with this sport but were eager learners and they have improved week by week. The instructors are knowledgeable, skilled, fun and funny! The students report that the tennis instructors have taught them both the details of the correct stroke and the boundaries of the tennis court. They have played a wide variety of drills and "king pin" type games.
Overall, the players had lots and lots of FUN! (Some are even talking about reserving court time outside of the class.) The price for the weekly 2 hour lessons was very affordable and appreciated. The tennis director (Ouahab Ghouli) was very pleasant to work with, offering feedback, and also very flexible to accommodate our families with a schedule that is outside of the norm.
I would highly recommend Niagara Academy of Tennis to groups or school programs interested in learning this sport!

I wish I could give this a higher rating. Our grade 8 class went here for a field trip, and it was nice at first. The instructors seemed kind. But, after a bit, I noticed something strange going on. I've had several friends come up to me and tell me that one of the instructors were touching girls. My friend demonstrates, and he grabbed her arm, then her hand, and sneakily took the tennis ball from her hand instead of just asking her for it. I thought it was weird and shrugged it off, but then my other friend told me that he touched her oddly. I started getting concerned. Then my friend came up to me and told me that she was talking to another girl, and that she was complaining how the same instructor grabbed her waist area to show her where to stand. He could have just told her to move her hips, he didn't have to touch her. Then other people said about him being 'creepy' and how he was touching them. He seemed to be doing it when no one was looking, since none of the teachers noticed. Besides this the tennis was good, but I can't bring myself to give it a higher rating due to this.
