"I overcome my weaknesses in driving under Affinity"

I learnt to drive with Affinity at my own pace and Suresh was flexible in his approach to teaching so it would suit me.
I was encouraged when disheartened and praised when I was doing well.
I was taught the theory of driving in tandem with its practical elements.
My weaknesses were targeted specifically one at at a time and in a focused manner, leaving me confident to sit my test with a methodical and calm approach.
