Are there English-speaking tennis instructors in Lisbon?

Yes, and more do as the expat community grows. The hard part is knowing who is reliable before you book, so every one we list is reviewed by other expats who have actually used them.

What should I check before hiring tennis instructors in Lisbon?

Read recent reviews, be clear about exactly what you need, and agree the scope and an estimate in writing before any work starts. For anything regulated, check they hold the right credentials for the job.

What is the most important thing to know before booking?

Be clear about what you want and get the price and scope agreed up front, so there are no surprises. Reading other expats' reviews is the quickest way to find someone who does the job well and communicates clearly.

What should I avoid when hiring tennis instructors in Lisbon?

Avoid paying the full amount up front (a deposit can be fair), anyone who will not give a clear quote, and unusually cheap prices that get padded with extras later.

How do I explain what I need if my Portuguese is limited?

A photo, a short video or a written list does most of the talking, and the professionals we list are used to international clients. Booking an English-speaking one takes the stress out of it entirely.

How do you say tennis instructors in Portuguese?

In Portuguese, tennis instructors are usually called professores de tenis. That is the word to search for or to ask a neighbour, though many professionals here are used to the English term too.

How do I find tennis instructors I can trust in Lisbon?

Check the reviews and any credentials before you book. On Locallista the reviews are phone-verified and the ranking is based on real expat experience, not who paid the most.

I needed a temporary tennis teacher and had two lessons with Carolina. It was super easy to reach her, she was very quick to reply, and she tailored the lessons to my level. She’s fun and has a laid back way of teaching, and from my perspective she seemed better suited to kids or people starting out; for someone at a higher level like me, I felt the sessions weren’t as demanding as I was looking for. She was super nice and kind, and the price felt fair.

I have been working with Frederico for a year now and it has been such a fun experience! He makes the court feel like a fun and chill space. His classes are a mix of individual and group lessons. He does a good job at expalining things without being to hard on us. I look forward to continuing my lessons with him!

I've been with Carolina since I arrived, almost 10 years. She's very fluent, very easy going, and besides tennis instruction she is very good in orientation, gives good advice, and is very networked, ideal for a person coming into the country. I've never been disappointed, communication and professionalism are great, and the price felt fair, even better than I expected. I still train with her and would recommend her.
