[quote=Anonymous]I'll also add: I tried to take expensive lessons, before my boyfriend at the time taught me and I took the test at 25. Cost does not correlate with instructor quality at all.

One thing that made it easier for me was we got a tiny car, where I could get a sense of its size. To this day I am not super comfortable parallel parking even with regular sedans, much less SUVs or minivans. I'm very grateful for rearview cameras, but with the tiny hatchback I didn't need it (and didn't have one).

The other was, one night boyfriend at the time (now DH) took me to a empty parking lot and had me fist do circles forward. Then backwards. Parking here, there, make it into that spot backing in, driving forward, back out, etc. I got really confident after that practice session.

A third thing, figuring out the logic of parallel parking required breaking down which way the wheels turn relative to where the steering wheel goes, for forward and reverse, AND then what wheel direction means for where I move. Also how much turn one to two turns of the steering wheels does.
