Took mine the other day and it worked really well.

She doesn't have any particular interest in aviation, just wants something to put on her CV - which is a very different situation to a "normal" student who is highly motivated and is very aware of how much their lesson is costing and is probably fulfilling a long-held ambition. I tried to pace the whole thing around her and ran it as a sales pitch as much as a lesson and considered anything other than a refusal by her to come back as a success - and on that basis it all went OK ..... and the chocolate reward at the end worked just as well with a teenager as it did with a five-year-old.

She hasn't been anywhere near driving a car yet, had never started or operated an engine, so has even more to learn than a typical ab-initio. Remains to be seen whether she sticks with it.
