A steady start, beyond the first lesson

Around two-thirds of new regular 1-to-1 learners in 2025–26 took 5 or more lessons — moving beyond “just trying it out”. All eligible new regular learners booked a second session after their first.

Based on new regular 1-to-1 learners in the 2025–26 teaching year; very recent starters are excluded where the metric could not yet be assessed.
