I learned to drive with Hanna Quarrie and she was very patient and very clear and helpful with instructions whilst being firm when needed. Would highly recommend for anyone since she was kind throughout the entire process, even when making mistakes, and made sure that any mistakes made were drilled into being corrected

Dave was such an exceptional teacher, he was really patient and understanding and when it took me a bit longer to get something because of my dyspraxia he went away and found a different way of teaching it! I feel confident going out and driving and could not have done it without Dave :)
