There will very much be two sides to this story and we are only hearing one here. However a trip with the CFI/different instructor should help.

I recall from my PPL days a fellow student that was stuck in the circuit, no feel in the flare and every touch down was firm to say the least. Said student took a holiday to Florida and was going to get some time in there. His instructor told him to go get as many landings in as he could and to ignore everything else as it will cost him far less out there.

He came back with a PPL. When he came back he asked to rent an aircraft, he was given a check ride with a different instructor. The school would not rent to him as he still couldn’t land, only now with a licence!

As I recall he went off to build his own aircraft and said he couldn’t wait to get away from the instructors “telling him what to do”. You can guess the rest. RIP.
