    I did something like this once with falion ^^

    Every Morndas to Fredas from 1 pm till 7 pm i had lessons with Falion about Conjuration and if affordable i would buy a training lesson. Loredas and Sundas were mostly used for Practical Traning like Raiding a Bandir camp, Scavenging a crypt or hunting with spells ^^ After hitting Adept in Conjuration Falion reluctantly send me to the College for a more well rounded Education and so i have acces to all the Books in the Arcaneum. ^^

    I love your combination of structured weekdays and weekend field practice. 

    I did something similar, though without the field practice, which I may now incorporate into my play through. :) I took lessons and used the lessons to integrate paid training into leveling. Again, I'm copying/pasting from the Role Play Help thread:

    I've also use RP to explain 'fast leveling." Though I'm generally not one to use exploits as a method of fast leveling, in one instance I used RP when my main character (who is a Master of Illusion) wanted to reach the Restoration level necessary to obtain the Necromage perk which makes Illusion spells more effective against the undead. 

    She used the game mechanic of alternating Equilibrium and Fast Healing to level Restoration. Rather than just spam it randomly, this was incorporated as role play. She traveled to Whiterun and temporarily lived in Breezehome while she trained Restoration under the guidance of Danica. She didn't stand there spamming the spells. Instead she treated it as if she went to the Temple for the day and trained under Danica. She paid Danica to train her (game mechanic wise) then went to the center of the Temple to "practice" her Equilibrium and Fast Healing spells under the guidance of Danica. At the next level, she again paid Danica to train her and repeated practicing. She only stayed at the Temple from morning to evening, using in-game time. Having eaten breakfast in Breezehome, she traveled to the Temple to train, stopped for lunch at midday and resumed her training, leaving the Temple at night for dinner and bed. The next day she got up and headed to the Temple for more training and practicing. 

    Once she was able to purchase the Circle of Protection spell from Colette at the College of Winterhold, she read the spell book as Colette taught her the spell. She then went to the Hall of Elements to practice the spell, much as J'zargo and the other mages practice their spells there. Again, she only trained during the day and stopped for meals and to sleep.
