Hi Cebu. I'm afraid I don't have any recommendations for Mountaineering instructors, but I just wanted to say I think you're right to want some more experienced company when you head off scrambling as you're new to the mountains.
If you don't know what polished rock looks like, or have a half decent reference point for what grade 1 ground is, then it's pretty easy to get yourself into something you'll struggle to get out of. Plus, it's amazing how a little cloud can turn up the seriousness dial in no time at all.
In this country we're blessed with Mountaineering Instructors who will teach things like movement, routefinding and ropework skills on your way to the summit, rather then just dragging you up. The plan you have will very likely give you some lasting skills to deal with the stuff I mentioned above, and an excellent foundation to build on in future. The base level of instruction is excellent. I'm sure you'll find the right person for you.
Best of luck - and enjoy the learning.
Tom
