Adaptable, intelligent & trustworthy person who is an even better instructor…read more I was learning to drive on and off for 15-20 years, had a number of good instructors, all of whom I enjoyed talking to... 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)
