should i get a new driving instructor?

Have you tried telling your instructor that you struggle to take in guidance whilst you’re driving?
A decent instructor will adjust depending on how the student prefers to learn.

i have tried to tell him that i feel anxious and overwhelmed, but honestly trying to explain it just makes me more stressed.

i’m currently learning to drive and i honestly hate driving lessons and dread them whenever i have them. my instructor is pretty nice but i feel like his teaching style just isn’t working for me. i’m not great with learning things verbally and i find that he just throws all the information at me, which i forget really quickly. i also get super anxious during my lessons and have come close to crying a couple times, to the point that i’m reluctant to book more lessons. so should i request a new instructor? i’m only 4 hours in by the way and haven’t looked at booking a practical test.

I’ve had two instructors. I liked my first but I changed because she was never available. My second instructor has taught me a lot but I still get anxious about lessons often, possibly more than when I first started.
Would I change in my situation? Maybe but I have a test booked before the end of the year so I probably wouldn’t change now unless it got pushed back.
For you? I think if you have to ask the question, the most likely answer is yes. I think the real question is if changing will help and if you’re actually learning anything with him. I can’t promise the anxiety will go, you could still hate lessons regardless of the change. But also remember that you’re paying them for a service and they should provide a service you’re happy with.
