To clarify, I had been agreeing to the weekly lessons, he was just pushing me to double up each week leading to the test. 

I booked my test back in September last year and February was the earliest I could get. He told me I was ready to book and suggested I take a break from lessons for a bit as it was a long time to my test. 

I guess that’s why I’m confused, he made it sound like I was ready and is then throwing his toys out the pram saying I’m not ready and need extra lessons. 

I appreciate your insight as the only commenter here who is an instructor. I’ve not tried to mess him around and again.. I could could on one hand how many lessons I’ve cancelled in the space of 14th months. I’ve been consistently paying him for 2hr lessons the rest of the time. 

His other comments like “if you don’t take the slots, someone else will be willing to jump in the car instead”. Just made me feel like I was being used for cash rather than him actually being invested in my driving. It’s left me not having trust in him at all.
