However, it’s important to be aware of the following details: Our base unit cost for tuition fees is $12 per hour, and the monthly fees are calculated based on 52 weeks per year. For instance, if you are enrolled in a program with two 30-minute lessons per week, the total yearly hours would amount to 52. By dividing this total by the number of months in a year, we arrive at the monthly fee of $52, as advertised.
