I would like to express my sincere thanks to the excellent driving instructor from Elite Driving School, who helped me pass my driving test in West Wickham on my first attempt. The lessons were well-organised and highly constructive, covering everything I needed to know in a clear and effective manner. My instructor’s experience and friendly approach made learning both easy and enjoyable. I highly recommend Elite Driving School for anyone looking to build confidence and driving skills.

Sue was great for my son, she was patient with him which is what he needs, he does not do well if teachers are not. My son never moaned about lessons with Sue which is a testament in itself!!! Arranging lessons were easy and Sue would always do her very best to move lessons around if needed. I would thoroughly recommend Sue at Elite and am over the moon my son passed. Thank you!!!!!!

A huge thank you to Sue for all of her guidance and support over the last few months. Sue was incredibly accommodating with my lessons and pushed me on each time to help me to reach my goals. Sue's excellent knowledge of all of test routes and the trickier elements of each meant that we could allocate our time according to my needs each lesson - I found this to be perfect. Thank you very much

She has incredible patience and encourages you to keep improving lesson by lesson. I’ve often gone into lessons after a tough day at work, and she’s been able to help me decompress, and I would literally always come out of my lessons smiling! Her vast experience shows as she plans lessons well, identifies your weaknesses and will work on them with you until before you know it, your test ready!

"I finally passed my test - a huge thank you to Sue Garner! Over the past year I had completed a crash course with previous driving instructors and never passed my test after 5 tries… unfortunately none of them seemed to care about my learning and got me into bad habits. However I was then recommended by a friend who had passed their test with Sue Garner. She helped me out and took me under her wing and within one lesson I was learning things that I hadn’t learnt before from previous instructors. She is very knowledgeable and is very patient through out all my lessons. Honestly I can’t appreciate Sue enough, I have improved so much since learning with her and she is so good at what she does. She cares about her students so much and motivated me to not give up and I finally passed my test!"

I would highly recommend Sue.
