Paivi, I have done levels one and two, and after reading your description of your problems, I am confident CSS will be able to help you. You will learn not just how to go round corners, but also the theory and physics involved in getting a bike to go round the corners. It is this last element that most other riding schools don't cover and is an important piece of the puzzle. It's a good environment for learning in. You do 20 minute sessions in the classroom and then get to put that in to practice on the circuit. The instructors are excellent.
And don't worry if it's wet. You actually learn more in the wet as the application of the correct techniques matters even more. It rained on my second day and I was amazed at how much grip can be found if you know where to look for it. I spent most of last year wanting at least one wet DD race and they were all dry thanks to Harrie's sun dance before each meet.
You will learn a lot and I'm sure you will be a better rider for it. Enjoy yourself.
