Fantastic experience: I've had Karen as my instructor for the last few months and she's been a great teacher, and really helped build my confidence. She's really good at picking up on what I need to work on, and giving advice and demonstrations on how to improve in those areas. She picks up on how I learn best, and adapted her teaching to me, which has really helped me drive better and become more confident on the road. She's always able to fit me in her schedule and always has a story to tell when we're out on a drive, couldn't recommend Karen enough.

Fantastic experience: Karen has been a great instructor and has made me feel completely comfortable with driving. I have a very busy schedule and she is always happy to work around it to make sure that everything is convenient for me.

Fantastic experience: After a previous test fail and not driving for years, Karen's lessons increased both my skill and confidence on the road massively. She would always make sure I understood everything 100% and was eager to help me improve my drive at every turn.
