Claudia set herself the challenge to learn to drive and start a new career in teaching at the same time. To make it more interesting she took her test in an area she does not know as no suitable tests were available in Chichester.

Not fazed by any of this, I am delighted to say Claudia passed her driving test first time today after less than 3 months of lessons.

Congratulations Claudia, all your hard work paid off and you deserve your success and the freedom it brings. You will make a great driver and a great teacher.
