As a family we have been doing individual, group and kids club lessons with Cliff and CPT for several years. We all enjoy them massively and always look forward to them. Cliff progresses everyone at their own pace and mixes fun and learning parts to lessons seemlessly. We’ve all improved so much and are so grateful for his friendly and supportive tuition.

In the four years I have been at my club, I attended many group coaching sessions and also private lessons with Cliff. He is a very positive teacher and has a very good understanding of my own personal strengths and weaknesses and helped me improved my game massively. A great coach if you want to take your tennis further.

Cliff Porter and CPTennis have really improved my game in the last 5 years. Having only ever played tennis for fun for over 50 years, I am now captaining 2 men’s teams thanks to his outstanding tuition. When you have played for many years you do not want to return to basics. Cliff has been perfect in selecting small adjustments that have made a big difference to my standard of play. He also makes it really enjoyable to learn new tactics. Based in the friendly and beautiful Banstead Downs Tennis Club, improving my game with Cliff is just a pleasure.

“Cliff has taught my two girls for nearly four years and their tennis has really progressed in this time. He gets the balance of learning but having fun just right. The girls enjoy it so much that I have started to play tennis and now also have lessons with Cliff. His teaching has helped develop my own skills and have the confidence to play games against others.”

'Cliff has coached me for many years and I have found him to be an extremely knowledgeable and experienced coach and player. 

Cliff has a natural talent and ability for analysing technical playing techniques and identifying appropriate solutions and suggestions for alterations and improvements. Due to his identification skills and knowing what is required, he is able to very quickly tailor your coaching to suit each situation and skill being coached and conducts all of this in a very approachable, encouraging manner. Cliff's own personal experience of match play enables him to provide match play techniques which are extremely insightful and useful for those who wish to play in Club matches.

Cliff's overall approach to coaching is overlaid by a huge amount of patience for which I have been very grateful!'

'Cliff has coached both of my boys for the past 5 years and he has been absolutely brilliant. He is friendly and kind, an excellent teacher who pushes them to try their best but encourages them to have fun at the same time. Now they can not only beat me in a tennis match, but have a love for the game that will last a lifetime.'
