How start learning

Decided I wanted to learn to ride, took the an MSF basic riding course and it was terrible. I was the only rider with no experience and it was less a class and more a test. Not alot of teaching happened, dude would read from his booklet, demonstrate then have us do it. For example when the weave came up I struggled bad through the first so when I came back around to where he was standing I tried to ask what I was doing wrong and he simply yelled GO GO GO. After we went through the whole exercise I asked if I could try that again because I didn't feel comfortable with it still and he said no, went to the bathroom came back and told me to leave said I was a safety concern. Not sure what I was doing that was unsafe, he didnt tell me. I honestly thought i was learning i just struggled with steering.

So what now? Im out 250 for that class and im not sure how to teach myself. I have an old Honda but my driveway is not suitable for practice too short and I live on a 55mph windy road. Dont wanna pull out of my driveway stall and get smacked by a car coming around the corner at 60.

Also cherry on top, no refunds and he told me to go home and practice and come back. This was the BRC
