Which may have been part of why I hadn't passed in any of my previous attempts. When I met James, I didn't emotionally feel like I'd ever pass the practical driving test and with 3-4 practical fails, plus numerous theory tests under my belt, I felt like history had shown me the limits of my ability. That all changed when I started learning with James, so after a waiting period, when I got the call to ask it I was still interested, I was delighted to say yes and be officially on his books. I immediately found James to be adaptable to my learning needs, making doubly sure I understood, explaining differently, and talking things through in the times I didn't feel confident, the result of which was that I felt less of a frustrated urge to give up. James is a genuinely wonderful person who is a delight to spend a few focused hours in a car with. I feel like our working relationship blossomed to the point where I would look forward to our humorous moments and now I've passed I know I'll miss the comfort of feeling like my teacher is also a friend. After one year of 2-4 hour lessons once a week and through lockdowns, I passed my first practical driving test with James - the first in 5 or more years - and 1 month before the birth of my first child who will benefit from being driven around as they grow up. I feel so confident driving and exploring my potential that I am even considering an advanced driving course! So if you're looking for a flexible and clear instructor who is always quick to communicate, contact Varney Driving School to find out when there's a vacancy. Hearty thanks forever and hopefully, I'll see you around. Mike C (2020 - 2021 pupil)

Just two of the…read morethings that had been on my lifelong 'must learn' list and which I achieved on the June-July 2011 TESOL course at Leeds English Language School. Yes, it was a lot of hard work but yes, I met some amazing people and can honestly say I loved the course. The tutors are excellent and their enthusiasm played a major part in keeping my own spirits and flagging energy levels high(ish) throughout the four weeks. The school, the students (especially the ones who were on the receiving end of my teaching), the resources, the teaching are second to none and I don't hesitate to recommend the TESOL course at Leeds English Language School.
