Count it as a generous gift from your instructor. Express your thanks, and as mentioned above, bring something nice to the next lesson.
My daughter's teacher does not schedule that many students to the point that they must adhere to a rigid schedule. In fact, he told us flat out at the first lesson that they might expect to run more than the allotted hour, provided she had prepared her lesson adequately. If the lesson was not that great, she could count on a scrupulous adherence to the schedule. And if, heaven forbid, she was totally unprepared, she would be out the door in a short time.
While it made for a couple of anxious weeks at first, once we discovered that he was quite happy with her general level or preparation, everything worked out just fine. They routinely go over the hour's allotment. He happens to be one of the best instructors in the area, and she feels very fortunate to have a teacher who pushes her to improve.
