Thought I'd post a version of Ambrose.
In his first season of instruction, he'll allocate the XP as follows

So Ambrose wants to learn Flawless Magic. At this time only Fiona has that Virtue, so he can accumulate 2 xp per term for that virtue.
To learn that Virtue, given that he has two manifested Hermetic Virtues, and a Major Hermetic Flaw is going to require a lot of effort. So the SQ starts at 21 + 9 (Major Magical Focus) +3 (Puissant Auram) - 9 Difficult Longevity Ritual=24. At present, he needs 24 xp to get Flawless Magic. As it is, to get 24 xp, at a rate of 2 xp per term, he has to take a class from Fiona every single term. That may not jive with his desire to improve his Auram, or it might leave him with a slightly different build considering that she's probably not going to be teaching classes for favored Arts of his in the advanced years.
There's also the possibility of extra curricular activities, which we haven't touched on. If Fiona sponsors a Slug Club of sorts, he might be able to eek out a few more XP in the extra curricular "term."
