Other concerns with the instructor? If I make a mistake on a lesson, he doesn't just calmy let me know, he seems to throw a tantrum and get ****ed off, very quickly. He has also made it into a habit to show up 5/10 minutes late to each lesson recently, however doesn't add the extra time on.
I wouldn't stop completely, just take a break for a bit. I've spent a load of money on it so far so I wouldn't just give up, but a break could do me good, is what I thought at least!
Instructor sounds like a berk. I was pretty slow at picking up driving to start with but my instructor (a little chinese woman walled Pwi Ha!) was great. If there was something I couldn't get to grips with she would tackle it and repeat the same thing over and over until it was second nature.
One day I had a lesson during rush hour and was at a roundabout and did the whole "shall I go, errr.... yes...no..... er...." thing and in my panic I floored the clutch, near enough hit the rev limiter and dropped the clutch and did the worlds most tyre smoking burnout a 1.4 Clio has ever seen. Her reaction... she laughed! "You see that old ladys face?! You a bad man! Now don't do that on your test!"
I knew I'd messed up, she knew I knew and also knew that if she said anything negative about it the rest of the lesson would have been written off as my (very limited) confidence would have been knocked.
The point I'm trying to make is that there is an instructor out there to suit everyone so if yours doesn't suit you, and from the description he'd have been useless for me, then find another.
I'd avoid having a break though, get back in the saddle ASAP.
