I had 2 private tennis lessons with Susan Evans and 1 group session during my stay at PortoBay Falesia. I honestly learnt more with her in my first lesson then I have in 10 months elsewhere. She is exceptionally patient and just had a way of explaining things so brilliantly that everything fell into place and I feel that she's greatly improved my tennis. I'm actually considering going to Portugal again soon just for a lesson with her! Thank you, Susan - you were incredible!

Fantastic tennis coach! Whilst staying at the Porto Bay Falésia this year, I joined a few group tennis sessions with other hotel guests, and then booked two individual coaching sessions with Susan, and I'm so glad I did! Susan is a fantastic coach and really good at breaking things down into easy steps that actually make sense. I learned so much in a short space of time, and it was a lot of fun as well. I left with both a new forehand and backhand technique and I'm now way more confident on the court. Whether you're a complete beginner or looking to fine-tune your game, I would definitely recommend Susan to anyone staying at the Porto Bay Falésia or the Porto Bay Blue Ocean, who wants to improve their game whilst on holiday.

Brillant Tennis Coach! I highly recommend Susan as a tennis coach. She has excellent advice and tips. She literally transformed my forehand in an hour! She has a kind and encouraging manner too! The best of the best!! 🎾

Best tennis coach! Susan is a wonderful person and coach. Friendly and passionate, she has the experience to zoom into areas and provide specific tips to help any player at any level. I engaged Susan twice in my 5 day trip and it was an absolute blast and one of the highlights of my trip. I would recommend Susan for her services, it’s rare to come across someone who’s so happy and passionate in what one does!

Great hitting lesson! Susan is a terrific pro. If you are an intermediate to advanced player and looking for someone to hit with and also receive good tips, then Susan is your pro. Hitting with Susan was perfect to keep the rust off my game while on holiday for a couple of weeks. She is a great player and instructor. Susan provides good drills that demand consistency and skill.

Outstanding Tennis Coach - Highly Recommended! I had the pleasure of training with Susan Evans for a week in Portugal, and it was an exceptional experience. She is a highly experienced coach with a deep focus on technique, and her keen eye for detail made a huge difference in my game. Susan changed my grip, which significantly improved my shots, and her goal-oriented approach ensured I got the maximum improvement possible in just a week. On top of that, she made every session both productive and fun. If you're looking for a coach who truly knows how to elevate your game, Susan is the one!

Outstanding Professional Tennis Coaching in the Algarve! I love tennis and have played the game for many years. I signed up for tennis coaching lessons with Susan Evans, a professional USPTA coach, at the the beautiful tennis courts at the Falesia Hotel in Olhos de Agua, Portugal. My three lessons with Susan were a revelation. Susan is a brilliant coach and consummate professional. Having not played for a few months, Susan quickly got me back on track, building my confidence and improving my technique over the time I spent with her. I came away with a greater understanding of my game and how best to improve it. Susan is a good listener, a great communicator and a patient teacher. Sponsored by Wilson, she gave me the opportunity to try different racquets and discuss the differences in weight and stringing. I was delighted with the quality of coaching that Susan provided and I made rapid progress over the three days I worked with her. Her knowledge of the game is tremendous and I enjoyed the best coaching experience of my entire playing career. I highly recommend Susan if you want to learn how to play or improve your tennis. Can't wait to go back!

The outstanding tennis coach! Susan is an outstanding tennis coach—professional, patient, and highly motivating. Her lessons at the PortoBay Falesia (so close to the Ocean!) in Portugal were both enjoyable and effective, tailored perfectly to my skill level. She creates a positive learning atmosphere and gives clear, practical guidance. I would definitely recommend her to players of all levels.

I highly recommend taking tennis lessons with Susan Evans. She is very experienced and still has the ability to meet you at your level. Both me and my wife took lessons and our games improved. It was an unforgettable experience in the beautiful surroundings of PortoBay Falesia.

Top Tennis Coach! I took tennis lessons with Susan Evans during my stay at PortoBay Blue Ocean and she was fantastic! Great at breaking down technique and giving clear, actionable corrections. Patient, positive, and she adapted the drills perfectly to my goals and level. Responsive on WhatsApp and very flexible with scheduling, she made the times I proposed to train. Sessions were fun and productive. Highly recommend and I’ll definitely book with Susan again on my next holiday!

I met Susan last year at Hotel Vilalara and trained with her for three weeks. Susan immediately impressed me. She's friendly, easygoing, and at the same time highly professional. Her coaching was very effective, and I immediately benefited from her many years of experience and passion. She effortlessly adjusted to my level. What was particularly great was that we had fun on the court every minute!

Susan’s genuine love and knowledge of the game and her ability to share that with her students is unique and inspiring. Susan is a superb tennis coach. Every lesson with Susan is a wonderful learning experience. I use the word “wonderful” purposefully: what you learn with Susan is that a tiny little change here, a small adjustment there, really creates wonders. And, it’s all great fun. I liked her easy-going nature and patience, not to mention her approach to teaching. The drills and instruction that Susan offers are challenging, fun and based on real-match situations. Susan’s experience and professionalism make her lessons a cut above other teaching pros and will keep me coming back.

An excellent tennis professional! I would like to highlight the excellent performance of tennis teacher Susan Evans, whose dedication and professionalism are truly inspiring. The way she imparts her technical and tactical knowledge, adapting with patience and empathy to the level of each student, reflects a remarkable commitment to the development of all. In addition to the technical skills she teaches with competence, she is a true motivator, fostering an environment where each student feels encouraged to excel, raising their confidence and enthusiasm for the sport. Her ability to identify areas for improvement and provide constructive feedback demonstrates an insight that undoubtedly contributes to the continued progress of each player. It is a pleasure to see the positive impact she has on the skills and enthusiasm of her students, promoting a love of tennis in an engaging and effective way.
