Sue Garner (Manual)

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!!!!!!

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!"
