Block Booking Benefits
Block bookings give you a structured learning plan from day one, priority scheduling with your chosen instructor, a per-hour saving versus single lessons, and momentum — knowing you have lessons booked keeps you progressing. Your instructor plans the 10 hours to cover specific milestones, so every session has clear objectives.

Our 10-hour block is £330 (equivalent to £33/hr vs £35/hr pay-as-you-go). This applies to both manual and automatic — always the same price. You can also combine blocks: many learners book an initial 10-hour block, reassess progress, then book a second if needed.
