That would be a shame Jack, for you to quit, you are certainly a VERY good instructor. My daughter had been learning on and off for over a year, on a manual car, but felt she wasn't making progress. After just a couple of lessons with you, she gained alot more confidence, and as such passed first time after just a few weeks. My son turns 17 next year, and is happy to just drive an auto, so I would have been contacting you, when the time came for him to start learning.
I can empathize with you about your heart not being in it, I have been in my job 30 years,and have had enough now, hence starting the carpet cleaning. However it provides me with a regular, reasonable income,so can't give it up just yet.
Get your assessment passed, and then look for something else, you could always train to do something else, and still keep your driving tuition as a top up for your training.Best of luck whatever you decide.
