1-2-1 tuition

All intensive driving course's come with
1-2-1 tuition as standard. This means that you and your driving instructor are the only people in the car. Sounds strange, if you are not familiar with the way the cheaper driving schools work. The cheaper driving schools have up to 3 students in the car at the same time.
This appears to save you money, but at the sacrifice of cutting down your training hours. Look below at an example of the costings I have worked out for you. At MAL intensive driving school all lessons are guaranteed to be 1-2-1 tuition (private to you)

1-2-1 tuition costs compared with car sharing

Example only:
A driving school using a car sharing student system pays £600 for 40 hours to sit in the car, of which 13 hours is their own driving practice and 26 hours is watching two other students practice.
Hourly charge for driving practice is £600 divided by 13 hours = £46 per hour.
1-2-1 tuition costs are 40 hours practice at £720 which is £720 divided by 40 hours = £18 per hour
With the group training it looks as if you are saving £120 but in fact you are spending more than double the amount of a student who is training on the 1-2-1 tuition method. There is obviously a major cost difference between 1-2-1 tuition and car sharing.
Car sharing is usually sold on the idea that you can have a rest whilst another student practices, but you are paying a lot of money for that rest.
With the 1-2-1 tuition method you are getting real value for money and you are in total control of your rest periods, your start and stop times for your driving lessons. Times are mutually agreed between student and instructor and is as flexible as you need. This must be the true value of 1-2-1 tuition.
