There is always the dilemma of deciding between private or group tennis lessons. There are pros and cons for both. However, I would suggest that one should try both types of lessons out first before deciding on which one would be more suitable in improving your tennis game. Generally, for beginners, it is better to have private lessons as you will be able to learn more and faster. Group lessons can them be used to reinforce the techniques already learned during individual tennis lessons. 
Playing and learning tennis in a group allow one to mingle and socialise with other people. This is an important way of getting to know people. Apart from having something in common, learning tennis together can enhance one's self esteem as well. One will also be spurred on by others when learning tennis together.
The best part of the class is the camaraderie that can develop. Beginners have been known to encourage and cheer on the others in the class, making the whole experience a lot of fun. Believe it or not, but learning in a group can make mastering the basics much easier. Those just starting out in tennis have both the rules and the techniques of the game to master. It's easier in a group as everyone is learning the same thing at the same pace, and again, folks can observe how others do something and learn from watching..
The competitive instinct in all of us is brought out to the fore when we have other people around us. There is that natural desire to out-play each other, to show that you are better than another person. This competitive streak in us, if harnessed correctly, will spur each person to improve faster and focus better.
Group tennis lessons allow one who is not so fit to slow ease into the game. This is because in a group the tennis lesson can be more spread out as there is more than one person. This will allow each student more time to rest.
Tennis is essentially a game of acquired skill. It takes concentration and one on one instruction may be intimidating for a beginner. Group lessons encourage support and a beginner usually feels much better after one or two group lessons. That new person to tennis is also able to develop a network of new friends who share the same hobby, and close relationships lasting for years can come from the training sessions.
Group tennis lessons tend to be more affordable on an hourly basis. This is because the coaching cost is spread out across a few students. As such, more people can come to learn the game of tennis.
Another positive benefit of learning tennis in a group setting is the physical security it provides i.e. safety in numbers. This is more so if you are a lady and having private lessons with a coach in a rather private tennis court. It is just something to consider if you are a lady and is not so sure about the 'private' situation you are putting yourself into.
Normally, adult group tennis lessons are conducted after hours whereby more people can participate. This could be seen as positive to some but negative to others as the lessons conducted may not be suitable for some, especially adult parents who have to return home to their family. Hence, perhaps, private lessons may be more suitable from a timing point of view.
