Yes, as others have stated, an hour flight lesson needs much more than 1.5 hr. As I stated, 1.5 is typical - I've worked part time with various flight schools over the years, some have changed, others haven't. Some schools allow their instructors more flexibility in bookings schedules than others. I've been beaten up by a CFI at an aero club for my longer bookings. Of course, my income was less too as casual instructors get paid on flight time per the award.
haviator, you will find other schools nearby which now work to a more suitable schedule if yours won't change.

You may find the syllabus for your school interesting, as well as reading your own training records.

Good work, you should do well. Unfortunately, I encounter too many students these days who must be spoonfed.
