Don't get hung up on any mistakes you may make... People concentrate on the "Oh shit, I screwed that up", and then keep thinking about it for the entire time they are making 10 other mistakes.

Make peace with the fact that your car will shutdown AT LEAST once (and that is the best case), in fact its probably gonna shut down more than a few unless instructor helps you from his side.
If its gasoline and it is or has engine smaller than a 1.6 liters dont be afraid to step on throttle a bit more, specially if its a bigger vehicle (like 4 doors - it needs more power to start moving). If its diesel than its other way around since most diesels increased idle throttle (Usually diesels can start moving by themselves on flat surface just like vehicles with automatic gearbox).

If driving school is anything like it is in the US where you live then you're in for a boring ride. No pun intended.

It's not such a big deal.. I learnt myself from a friend just for fun and can drive pretty well..
What I mean is: driving lessons is never harder then history lessons xD

Keep your eyes open, nothing more. "Experienced" drivers are dicks and never follow the driving code.
