It has been a while since I instructed but in 9 hours flying none of my students would be visiting another airfield. Exercises 4i,4ii,6 & 7, 8 & 9, 10a, 10b, 3 hours 12 &13 would be a normal use of 9 hours if the weather was good and the circuit was available. All flights would have a proper briefing and there would also be a couple of longer briefs in there. 3 hours in the circuit would mean that most RT would be covered by the student.
This is only a rough guide of course and depends on a great number of factors - I would never rush a student into the circuit unless they had shown competency in the basic handling skills.
I would also brief my students on what chapters they should read prior to the next lesson etc.
Sounds to me like there is no structure to your training which will probably mean that things MIGHT be inadequately covered.
I don't know about value for money. I guess that depends on what you are paying! A tenner an hour would be good value for the service you are receiving.
I would suggest you try and visit other schools in your area - you certainly don't want to jump out of the frying pan and land in the fire.
