I don't really like my drivers ed instructor?

Okay I've asked a question on here before but I feel this is my problem.

I had my first drive on Friday the 12th. My friend went first while I was in the backseat. The driving instructor (Ill call him DI) made me schedule more drives for him and then asked me on the spot if I could drive. I had to lie to him because I was already nervous to drive without my friend who understands me. Okay now back to my driving. I had to do figure 8's in the parking lot and I couldn't seem to grasp the push pull and the hand over hand. He got a little frustrated and told me to get in the passenger seat so he could show me. I'm a slow learner and it's hard for someone to show me what to do on the spot and just expect me to get if after some time.

he made me pull out into the side streets. I did not know how to work the turn signal so I kinda panicked but I stopped at the stop sign and some old guy passed me. DI made me pull back into the parking lot and yelled at me claiming he was angry at the old guy who passed me. DI was like "ILL TELL U WHAT TO DO WITH THE TURN SIGNAL LISTEM TO ME"

I could have cried right there. call me a wimp but it really discouraged me. We continued to drive down the side streets and he occasionally would raise his voice a little when I would turn wrong.

I now made all my future driving appointments with him and it will be my first time driving on the road with him tomorrow. Im feeling scared to drive but also scared of him because he already doesn't like me and I know he is going to get angry at me.

I know you might say switch instructor but he teaches my drivers ed class so he would hate me even more. In class he says if I won the lottery I wouldn't be hear tomorrow which is kinda funny but it's sorta stupid to say in front on new drivers. Now I know he doesn't like his job. He has 15 Years of experience doing driving but that doesn't matter.

any advice??

I'm just going to stop being a pussy and haul my *** through his class and his DI drives.

thanks

    Driving instructors have the job from hell.

    I remember when I went through mine I was only 15.5 years old and had my own car. The instructor gave me hell the entire time because of it.

    The idea is driving is stressful at best and people need to learn how to deal with it on a everyday basis.

    Give your instructor a break and ask for their help, that will go a long way towards enduring you to them.

    Good luck.
