I'm the same as Berger. I moved schools after some pretty bad experiences all named above, including a very aggressive instructor
.
I've moved schools to a 'club' where i feel totally at home. The biggest diffence aside from the club atmosphere, and this is the clincher, is that the instructor made it fun. He loves flying, he wants to see me do well and his enjoyment of flying is infectious.
At an early stage, it should be scary and extremely good fun. Otherwise your circa £180 per hour should be spent elsewhere.
