Fantastic experience: I just wanted to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude to my driving instructor Naomi. From the very first lesson, I felt completely at ease thanks to her patience, professionalism, and positive attitude. She was not only incredibly knowledgeable but also made every lesson enjoyable and stress-free. Her guidance helped me feel confident behind the wheel, and she tailored each session to my individual needs, which made all the difference. I truly appreciate the time and care Naomi has taken in teaching me, and I couldn't have asked for a better instructor. Thank you so much for your unwavering support and encouragement. I’m beyond grateful for everything you’ve done to help me succeed! 10/10 recommend this school for learning to drive ☺️

Fantastic experience: Thank you very much Stephen, Naomi for your hard work with me, it was a long journey but you were amazing; Stephen you were very patient, supportive, helpful and understanding. Naomi was great, picking up my bad driving habits and trying new ways to help me. I couldn’t be more appreciative for both of you especially Stephen; I couldn’t have done without you.
