Annika P

Vanessa was everything I could have asked for in a driving instructor and more!
I really struggled with anxiety around driving, and especially after failing my first Ps test, I was super anxious about getting behind the wheel again.
I had tried many other driving instructors before Vanessa who were not a good match for me, so driving with Vanessa was just the best!
Vanessa was extremely supportive and encouraging. She pointed out where I needed to improve but also made me feel comfortable, and relaxed.
Thank you so much to Vanessa for being the most amazing driving instructor!

Callum W

I will be booking more time with Vanessa, she has been calming and I feel comfortable that I am on the right track re my hours. My only problem is getting in the times as I am in school in the day so I can only do lessons from 7:00 - 8:15am or 3:15pm onwards. Vanessa is too popular

Yvette B

Very much enjoyed my lessons with Vanessa. Excellent instructor, highly recommend

Mitchel G

Hi,

thanks very much for organising the lesson/test package at 2 days notice, after trying multiple driving schools for availability, MY Driving School was the only one available, which was fortunate. My lesson instructor Vanessa was very kind, comforting, and thorough in her instruction. She helped put my mind at ease, cover all the aspects of safe manual driving and feel ready for the test, despite my own failure to pass. However, with my lesson experience with her, I understand better where I went wrong and where I need to improve and practice.

5 stars. Thanks again.

Mitchell

Daemian R

Hayley R

I cannot thank Vanessa enough for getting me ready to pass my manual licence on such a short time frame. She was fantastic! Vanessa has a great approach and makes you feel at ease instantly. She explains everything in a simple, non complicated manner which helped me a lot! 10/10

Michael S

Hello,
I would like to thank Vanessa for being very supportive while I was having lessons, she has shown patients and expertise in teaching me how to drive a manual car. When I didn't pass my first test through being nervous, she contacted me and stated that there wasn't much I had to do when I went again, I was a bit devastated that I failed, but she contacted me and made me feel much better which show s she is prepared to go that extra bit for students. I would recommend Vanessa to any of my friend that need lessons, she is a brilliant instructor, I will miss our lessons as she is a really lovely lady and I would like to thank Vanessa for helping me achieve getting my licence its really appreciated THANKYOU Vanessa.

Yvonne S

Michael has benefited from being taught to Drive with Vanessa, he has said that it is easy Driving with Vanessa, she is patient and never wavers her tone, calm and reassuring, when speaking to him while Driving. Vanessa is friendly and encouraging, He enjoys the lesson with Vanessa. I have found her to be very professional, Vanessa has got back to me immediately with any quires that I have,
Michael didn't get his licence the first time and was very upset about how the testing officer spoke to him, Vanessa contacted Michael later that night and offered encouragement, listened to how he felt, this boosted him, He felt that he let me and her down, and the conversation definitely helped him get back on track to keep going.
I think Vanessa is a very committed instructor and cares about her students. I would recommend Vanessa to any of my Friends and Family to teach their kids.
