In Skyrim, is there a limit to the number of cycles (cycles of 5 times and leveling up) you can train with a particular trainer? Or is this a bug

I trained maybe 4 or 5 times in a row for Speech with Ogmund in Markarth (I trained 5 times, then leveled up, and repeated this cycle four or five times in a row), and after that there is no longer a dialogue option to train me anymore. I went to another trainer (Babette, who I know trains Alchemy), and she allows me to train. However, I noticed that none of the people at the Mage's college have the option for me to train either. I thought I remembered them having the option.

Is this a bug, or is there a limit to the number of times you can train with a particular trainer?

The trainers work in a very simple way: Every level, you can train 5 levels of the skill you want. However, every trainer has a limit to the level he can train you to.

If I am correct there are three levels, common (lvl < 50), expert (lvl < 75) and master(lvl < 90).

When you pass the threshold of the trainer, you have to find another one which can in fact train you further or you have to train it the normal way.
