Fantastic experience: I can’t recommend Jade enough! As someone who is autistic, I was initially nervous about learning to drive, but Jade found a way to teach me that made me feel comfortable and supported without ever feeling judged. She was always so friendly, patient, and understanding, taking the time to explain things in a way that made sense to me. Thanks to her amazing approach, I passed my test on the second attempt with zero faults! If you’re looking for an instructor who’s kind, professional, and truly cares about your progress, I highly recommend Jade!

Fantastic experience: 10/10 !! I had to change instructors halfway through learning and decided to join up with jade. I was a very nervous and overcautious learner and jade helped to settle that right from the get go. Offering me reassurance and confidence even for the smallest of worries and never made me feel stupid for my anxieties. Although I was lucky to have my own car to drive with my parents in my spare time, jade is where my confidence came from! (Sorry mum and dad haha). 10/10 recommended for any learner confident or not. Jade knows what she's doing and as long as you trust her, she'll get you exactly where you need to be to pass your test. Plus she's always got a great conversation running with her 101 random facts xx Thank you for my learning experience jade xxx
