Fantastic experience: I have had the best time learning with Sharon! I started off as such an anxious driver, who hated being behind the wheel. Sharon has transformed not only my ability but also my attitude towards driving! I love driving now, and can say I feel confident and look forward to it. She is patient and excellent at explaining driving clearly (especially for someone like me who struggles with their left and rights!). She has made learning to drive fun - I cannot recommend highly enough.

Fantastic experience: Sharon is such a great instructor! Having someone so calm teach you is so beneficial, I always felt safe and in control. She explains things clearly so you always know what you’re doing and why.

Fantastic experience: I passed with Sharon nearly 5 years ago now. I was so nervous when I first started, Sharon put me at ease and had all the patience in the world for me. I’ve got 3 little boys and worked nights at the time, Sharon worked around all of my commitments to ensure I passed in my busy schedule! I went from being the most nervous driver to now having a driving job. I got on with Sharon so well we have kept in touch since and who ever gets to learn with Sharon is so lucky!
