We all do better in some classes than in others, so don't let yourself get discouraged, Neville. You are certainly taking a step in the right direction by doing some informal tutoring with Miss Perks, and it reflects well on both of you, that you have been so proactive in seeking help to address your shortcomings in Transfiguration, and that she has been willing to give it.
As for flying, well, there are some people who never learn to like it, because they have another method which they vastly prefer. I know a number of people who never touched a broom again after learning to apparate. True, a broom has certain advantages, and of course it's necessary if you like playing Quidditch! (Unlike most of my brothers, I prefer staying on the sidelines and cheering, myself.)
