I’ve been a fully qualified ADI for over 3 years now starting my career at ClickDrive. I believe in a friendly & calm manner to give my students a relaxed approach to learning. I believe this plays a huge part in my high pass rate.

My aim is to get students to become safe drivers for life and in doing so help them to pass their test, hopefully first time. I like to tailor my lessons and action plans to the individual's needs to help them enjoy and learn quickly through their learning process.

Negative experience: Nice enough lady but does not care. Just wants the money.. learnt more in an hour with a new instructor then I did with her on like 6 lessons… just always driving around the same bit.. nowhere ever near the town I was doing a test in.. learning nothing like mirrors, signaling, pulling up etc. she mentioned about doing certain exercises on our next lesson but that wouldn’t happen. She would also cancel and tell me about cancelling on others. She told me to book a test and due to her teaching and cancelling it resulted in me having to cancel my test. Her nails and hair extensions are more important. I had 2 girls work for me and they both was with Lucy.. I’m sure they’d agree and they reported her themself. After reporting and an investigation taking place.. the guy mentioned she’s had way too many chances and it’s not the first complaint.. funny how she’s still working there now

Hi Shannon, we are sorry you didn’t enjoy your experience with Lucy. I remember talking to yourself around 18 months ago when you last had a lesson with us. We discussed and sorted the issues back then and also sorted out another DLA instructor for you however you cancelled on them as well so we were then unable to help further. Sorry you are still feeling this way 18 months after learning. Lucy is one of our most sought after and successful instructors as you can see from the many reviews on this page. We wish you all the best in your continued learning process

Fantastic experience: Lucy helped me pass my test first time and I couldn’t have asked for a better instructor to help me achieve this! Not only did she take me from being a nervous driver, to a confident and safe driver, but she also made lessons extremely enjoyable and laidback. Her approach worked perfectly for me as I never felt uncomfortable or flustered as she had my back every step of the way. Huge credit to DLA to have such a super instructor. Can’t thank her enough

Fantastic experience: After putting off driving because of nerves and anxiety I finally took the plunge and booked some lessons with Lucy. She immediately put my mind at rest and I felt totally relaxed with her. Within 4 1/2 months I was ready for my test. Lucy was professional but also great fun to learn with. Always on time and done her best to fit me in whenever she could. Would recommend her to everyone.

Hunter Hunt 5 years ago

Negative experience: This school is terrible, let’s you drive to Greg to pickup sausage rolls or to the garage to pickup snack for the instructor. Lots of chat about nails and drinking, not so much on helping you drive, park, or being safe. A waste of money.

Matt would always push me to achieve more when he knew I could achieve it. He always made me feel comfortable and made all lessons enjoyable and fun. Thanks again for helping me pass first time!

Nicole Ia 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: I'd highly recommend Lucy as a driving instructor. I started my lessons with Lucy three months before planning to go to university with the worry of not being able to pass my test during this time. Lucy was understanding towards my situation and reassured me that I could pass within this time by creating an action plan of how to encourage me to become more confident and aware on the road.
