I spent a few weeks before my Manuel license test driving with Kylie. She is a great instructor who provided helpful tips, positivity and support as well as helping to reduce the stress of the license test. I definitely recommend driving with Kylie, she is great and will help you to feel confident before your test!

My son was not feeling prepared at all for his driving test that was coming in such a short period however, with Lesley as his driving instructor she was able to help my son out and he was able to pass his test for which I am very grateful for! Thank you Lesley for being very patient, friendly and encouraging and clearly explaining concepts that he did not understand prior to having lessons with you

Lesley is a excellent driving instructor
I am 30 and was scared to go for my license but with Lesleys help she gave me the confidence I needed. She is very patient and makes you feel at ease. I could not have passed the test without her. Thank you so much Lesley.
