Richard L, Weybridge, Surrey

"A keen biker when younger, with a full licence, and a fair amount of car driving experience, but no full licence, I came back to cars at 56, after over 20 years without riding or driving. I wasn’t ever a nervous rider or driver, enjoying both. Nonetheless, it was somewhat daunting, after so long off the road. I chose Elite, and Kim Hart specifically, on the basis of online reviews. Kim was patient throughout, and I was never in any doubt as to what the test requirements were. She worked with me, rather than taking a directive approach, which suited my needs very well, and lessons were tailored following good discussion, especially as the test approached. I passed first time, with no minor faults, and if anything felt I’d been ‘over-prepared’ for the test! Kim was very thorough, and while it’s obviously desirable to pass the test, there’s more to it than that, and I now feel confident for my future driving. Passing first time was great, but I’d recommend Kim highly to anyone in my position regardless."
