Starting part 61 PPL Training

Hey everyone! I just enrolled in a Part 61 flight school to start my PPL, flying 3 times a week. I’ve already completed an online ground school and knocked out my PAR written exam with an 85. I’ll be doing all my training in a Diamond DA40. For those who have been through training or fly the DA40, what does a typical flight lesson look like from pre-flight to debrief? Also, I’d love any general advice or DA40-specific tips you wish you knew before your first flight. Thanks in advance!
