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 new regular learners booked a second session after their first.

Based on new regular 1-to-1 learners who started paid lessons in 2025–26.
