• Kids or teens who do better with one-on-one attention
• Anyone wanting faster progress on a specific problem

• One-on-one coaching
• Customized pace
• Immediate feedback
• Supportive learning environment
• A clear next-step plan after each session

What Happens in a Private Lesson

• Clear technical instruction
• Controlled drilling
• Optional video analysis when useful

Private vs Group Classes

For many people, the best path is both: one or two private sessions first, then regular group training once the room feels familiar.

Pricing That Matches the Main Offer

The current private-lesson offer is simple: $150 for a single 60-minute session, with a Buy 2 Get 1 package on the main private-lessons page.

If pricing is the main question, use the service page as the source of truth: private-lesson pricing and packages.

Is It Worth the Cost?

The biggest concern is whether private lessons are worth the extra cost compared with starting in a group.

For many beginners, the answer is yes because the value is not just mat time. It is clarity, confidence, and faster correction. One good private can remove weeks of trial and error.

Best Way to Start

You can start with a private lesson or go directly into a beginner-friendly class. Both paths work together, and the right choice depends on whether you want a quieter on-ramp or are ready to step into the group room immediately. See Core Culture pricing.
