Pricing can vary based on:

• Your experience: whether you are a complete beginner, returning after a break or preparing for your test.
• The instructor's experience: qualified ADI-approved instructors often have different rates based on their track record.
• The package you choose: block bookings of five or ten hours often come at a discounted rate.
• The lesson format: in-person lessons and online theory support may be priced differently.

Many tutors offer a free trial lesson so you can test their teaching style.

Both lesson lengths have advantages, and the best choice depends on where you are in your training.

• Longer lessons: allow you to warm up properly and then spend quality time on new skills.
• One-hour lessons: suit complete beginners who may feel mentally tired after intense concentration.
• Learning efficiency: two-hour sessions are ideal closer to your test because they mirror the test duration.
• Cost and scheduling: block-booking two-hour slots often works out cheaper per hour than single sessions.

Your tutor will recommend the right format as you progress through different stages of learning.
