As a presolo student you can only count flight time with a Flight Instructor towards your PPL apt any other rating later.
Even after you solo you cannot fly with a “passenger” and log PIC.
The only exception being your examiner for the checkride.
So it makes no sense to be paying for hours you can’t log.
You’re better off hanging around the airport and bumming rides in exchange for washing planes, cars, cleaning out hangars or anything else you can barter.
