Yes, flying training is one on one, so a very personal experience. Reviews are generally manipulated and on forums like this you don't know who is working for x flying school and being positive or negative about another operator, or, who is genuine about their experience. The only real way to find out is to go in person to a number of schools and chat to the instructors, maybe even students, watch their operation for a while to see how the instructors and students interact and have a tour of the facilities and aircraft. After doing that at a few different places you can make your own decision about what is best for you. If you are the type of person that doesn't like being independent and a bit of footwork, showing initiative, to see what works, then maybe aviation is not the career for you. If you want to spend the amounts involved in gaining a commercial licence and don't want to do the leg work or research yourself, I could probably offer you a cheap deal on a bridge as well.
