Purple Driving Academy Ltd

Fantastic experience: I had my first driving lesson with Gemma this Morning, we went through loads of information that I needed to know and she let me take pictures of what I need to do in various situations From her book so I can remember and go through them at home. She made me feel really at ease and gave me support when I was unsure on things , overall I really did enjoy it with Gemma, she is so so lovely and I can’t wait for my second lesson

Fantastic experience: Gemma is patient, fun and knows how to relieve my son's anxiety. Would go no where else

Fantastic experience: I contacted Gemma and she was so polite, very professional and went above and beyond to go out of her way to accept me as a student with her. From the get go she was very informative, gave lots of information/links to things i needed to know BEFORE i had even had my first lesson. On my first lesson she was very approachable, superrrr down to earth & one of the most genuine people i have ever met. From getting into the car & spending just one two hour lesson with her i have learned more than i learned on previous driving lessons with other tutors. Her attention to detail when explaining something, aswell as showing you physically and talking you through step by step she is fantastic. I felt safe, i gained knowledge, had a good driving experience, all whilst haveing fun with Gemma as a person. Couldn't reccommend anyone more! Super happy to be a student of Gemmas purple driving academy!

Fantastic experience: I’m currently learning with Gemma, she is an amazing driving instructor!! As soon as you get in the car, she makes you feel comfortable and relaxed - nothings an hassle for Gemma. Every lesson, there’s always something new that makes you engaged with it. Gemma also doesn’t mind taking time on areas that I tend to struggle on, even if they are repetitive. As well as this, Gemma is one of the nicest people out there. Every lesson is full of laughs and smiles !! Thankyou Gemma !!

Fantastic experience: Gemma from Purple Driving Academy is an amazing instructor and extremely reliable; she has built up all areas of skill while I have been learning, both personally and driving. In addition to this, Gemma has brought my driving skills back up ,after losing most skills in the last lockdown, for me to be ready for my up coming test. Such a friendly and chatty instructor which makes the whole experience more comfortable - this definitely helped me build my confidence to be in the car and ask for any advice or help if I need to. All lessons have been enjoyable and fun and Gemma tries to ensure you have a say on what you need to work on for your lesson ,so you can feel more at ease when building up specific skills! Definitely recommend!!

Fantastic experience: Had some really great sessions with Gemma. Always feel safe and comfortable. Gemma is great at teaching and guidance. Recommended.

Fantastic experience: I'm currently learning to drive with Gemma and she is incredible. She's making me believe that I can actually drive when my doubts get in the way. Being able to learn in blocks, with Gemma kindly taking time out of her weekend for me, has allowed my to progress extremely quickly, but more importantly, safely. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: Just had my first lesson after being with Gemma and i have progressed a lot through my lesson while doing all the Manoeuvers and even going down the Motor way I’m very pleased In my progress and it’s a big that’s to Gemma for talking me through it and just being easy to get on with. Would 100% recommend to anyone looking for an instructor

Fantastic experience: when learning how to drive with Gemma, i feel safe and happy knowing that i am in the hands of someone who knows 100%. Shes always making me feel confident and comfortable and is always up for a laugh. 100% recommend.

Fantastic experience: The one thing I look forward to each week are my lesson's with Gemma. I can't thank her enough for teaching me. She makes the lesson's so interesting and breaks it down like dance steps to help you remember. Gemma has a soft tone to her voice when giving instructions, while having a laugh and making it interesting at the same time. My last lesson was the day we heard on the radio there was going to be an announcement of a second lockdown while I'm trying to do bay parking. Seams like months ago now. Can't wait for my next lesson. Thanks again Gemma for giving me the confidence I needed. Stay safe.

Fantastic experience: I’m currently learning to drive with Gemma Purple and I’m really loving the lessons. One of my favourite lessons was when Gemma taught me forward and reverse bay parking. She managed to get my confidence from a 2/5 to a 5/5 in one lesson. Gemma’s lessons are really insightful yet really enjoyable at the same time. She is a wonderful driving instructor!

Fantastic experience: Since starting driving lessons with Gemma I have gained new skills that I didn’t know I could achieve and I have also gained confidence in my self and behind the wheel, Gemma is a wonderful instructor who is relaxed and informative all in all I would recommend her to new drivers and new drivers wanting to grow in belief that they can achieve it

Fantastic experience: Gemma is a brilliant instructor who has given me the confidence to get behind the wheel. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: My lessons with Gemma are always my highlight of my week and in recent lessons we’ve gone over the things I can do in my own car whilst we’re in Lockdown so that I don’t lose my confidence for when we can have lessons again and this really helped me because I feel safe driving around my local area.
