Are you possibly doubting the instructor or school ? Maybe try another one ? Or a different type of aircraft ? What did you fly ?
I dont think i am. The instructor was quite confident which i guess is a good thing but perhaps i need a slightly gentler approach. e.g. i was given control as we we're heading in to land but i had no idea about rate of decent or what bits i was meant to be doing so we basically bounced on the runway and went back up again and swerved about a fair bit etc. It was safe and he obviously had control the whole time and we landed ok (albeit it surely looked ridiculous) but guess this freaked me out a bit as I didnt expect it on my first lesson. hey ho, guess being thrown in the deep end can work well.

I was in a cessna 152 which i quite liked so guess that's not the problem. Think as you all say it just boils down to trying it for a bit and continued practice.

Anyway, I'm all booked for my next lesson following all the great encouragement on here
