Acting is a good profession for you as English (grammar & spelling) isn't a requirement
Hope you make it

I do not think that private tuition is the best way to be an Actor and it's proving horrendously expensive for your father . I don't know where you live . In my youth I was an actor in England . There are many acting schools in London and I'm sure in America too .
One name that springs to mind as a childrens acting school is " The Rose Brufford School ". These schools give you a complete education , as well as acting . If you are talented they will send you for all sorts of work , theatre , film , television , commercials etc . ; which will give you a broad scope .
There is a big difference between being a child actor and an adult one . It is not a continuing path ; it is very difficult to pass from one to the other . At 14 you haven't much time left as a child actor . Personally , I would advise you to stop acting now ; do as well as you possibly can in your academic education , even to a university degree . Then go to an adult drama school and launch yourself from there . When you get into your mid twenties there is much more scope .

Yeah right.
Now pull the other one.
If your dad can afford 3 hours a week @ 320 per hour he'd be better off just sponsoring the movie and putting your "14 year lifelong ambition" out there. Come on. Grow your emotional age so it matches your chronological (the real one).

You are paying £320 an hour? They had better have dug Laurence Olivier up for that kind of money...
Well lets see, you have your head shots, you have an agent, you take acting lessons...so I can suggest two things... One, learn to ride a horse and sword fence, and many other minor skills. Specialist classes for vocal work, to be able to do accents right. But bottom line is are you any good? Your parents wont tell you, neither will the people getting money out of you for acting lessons, you need to find someone expert, with no axe to grind or no nest to line and ask their opinion. Maybe lie about your name and details and try auditions for the likes of Bristol Old Vic or RADA, just to see if you'd get in once you get to the right age.

What does 'desting' mean?
If you think you're destined to be an actor, you must be more observant of those around you, and make sure you check for mistakes in your own work. Persevere.

Sure, if your life long ambition is to bankrupt your parents

Stay persistent. It takes persistence to be an actor.
