Since I'm not very good, I found this lesson helpful because they show little ways to make great improvements to a tennis serve. It's often the details that make the difference, so showing how to stand and throw, etc. as well as demonstrating was really helpful.

After watching this video I'm pumped about hitting up the courts and seeing what I can do. I have a feeling that after watching this video I'll go from terrible to bad. Great Job.
