One thing you can discuss with the instructor is additional pool sessions. My wife did a regular group class, but did a couple one-on-one pool sessions with one of the instructors. She paid for the pool time with that instructor, but it gave her the ability to get the personal feedback without doing a completely private lesson. Worked out great.
One of the things I will reiterate is to speak with the shop and the instructors before signing up for the class. If they don't seem to understand and empathize with what you are saying, find somewhere else.
