Bansko - private instructors

Does anyone know how much an instructor would cost for a week in Bansko? There are 3 intermediate skiers in my group and since we are all probably varying levels of intermediate we thought of getting our own instructor so that we can ski together.
Also, how much is a pair of boots likely to cost there?

to buy - been thinking about buying some before I go, but it has been mentioned that they will be cheaper out there, I just wondered how much i'd be looking at paying

I was out there last year with my son and after a day on the slopes i approached a guy in the reception area, explained what i wanted (tuition) told him i wanted to go private could he recommend anyone ??? after a few words of convincing ???we agreed a price of approx £40 (cash in hand) for the 2 of us.
We were with him from 8.30 - 4.00pm with 1/2 hour lunch break.
Was the best £40 i have ever spent.
Remember their wages are not exciting in Bansko therefore any pin money is a bonus on ...

If you are travelling with Balkan Holidays, go and see the Irish Boss Darren. He sorted me with a great week of private tuition with an ex competition skier!!
