Feeling a little nervous

My advice would be "don't show it!" particularly if your a girlie, I was also a little nervous about turbulence when I started, so my instructor decided to make this a feature of my training, net result 4hours of stall practice, 1 hours flying in thick cloud, 55 hours of circuit and 35 minutes of solo. My soon to be ex-instructor favourite catchphase "the conditions are not good enough for you to do solo" he has been saying that for the last 25 hours, so we have opted for dual training. I appreciate that he has taught me crosswind landings which are useful, our best flights in my opinion are the ones where I completely ignore him and get on with it, as he tries to make me feel slightly nervous otherwise, he is quite a demotivating character, and although my hours are building-up, I seem no closer to getting my licence. Don't mean to moan, but sometimes one's vulnerability becomes open to exploitation
