Report
Darren was absolutely brilliant. Lessons started in October & then had to stop in November until April. We had a "semi intensive" approach with 2 x 2hr lessons a week since 12th April. Our daughter passed her test at end of May. Cannot recommend Darren highly enough. Thank you so much for everything.
