Point of reference. A common question is how many private “in person” lessons it would take to cover the material in one lesson package. The approximate answer is 10 to 12 lessons. Meeting for a 30-minute lesson weekly to cover the same curriculum in the package would take about 3 months of lessons at a cost of $90 per month the total cost would be $270. Purchasing an online lesson package is more economical. You can work at your own pace right from home without having to worry about scheduling and traveling to the lessons.
