Passed my driving test first time today (after only 7 weeks of training) and its all down to the help of Kirsty. Thank you so much for pushing me and believing that I was able to do it. Looking forward to Pass Plus.

Well I have calmed down enough to write this. I have been through 5 instructors, 1 of which fell asleep on a lesson. I started with Gill and what a difference. I looked forward to my lessons every week. She is patient to a fault, a very good sense of humour and an excellent instructor. She encouraged me all the way even though I did not have the confidence in myself.
I was actually pleased when I failed my 1st test as I knew why. BUT, 2nd test this morning (8.20am) and I passed. Gill looked really pleased. I could not have done it without her. A******** If you are nervous and are wanting to learn to drive I cannot recommend Gill high enough, I really never thought I could do it. Pass Plus next. Thanks Gill (I want a Mini now!!)

Big thanks to Gill for helping me pass my test today, Monday 3 November 2008. I had been put off driving after failing my test numerous times about 12 years ago but started lessons a wee while ago with Gill & passed today, (first test with Gill). Gill is a lovely person and a great instructor. The lessons are relaxed, informal but thorough. Gill also shapes the lessons to cover your weak points until they're up to scratch, which is great. Feedback is honest, supportive and inspiring, not at all patronising and often a good laugh. I would highly recommend Gill.

Just passed last week with Gill on my 5th test! (that is not a reflection of
the teaching!). Gill was a great instructor and kept encouraging me after I'd had a few disappointing tests and was getting a bit frustrated with learning! Lessons were relaxed and Gill's approach to teaching is great - not at all patronising and always able to have a laugh, whilst making sure that you are taking driving seriously and really learning. I feel really confident out on the roads myself now!Stephanie

I passed first time with Gill and thought that she was a really good
instructor who really put maximum effort into every lesson. She was really good at explaining everything to me and was a really friendly person. I would definitely recommend Gill to everyone!Harrison Ross - L

Learned with Gill who has a great relaxed attitude to driving (whilst keeping things safe, not too relaxed.) At no point was it stressful, so your ability to learn is at its most open. I didn't feel that Gill was just after your cash, she cared that you passed and made sure that I didn't spend more than I needed to on lessons. Nice one Gill! Comes highly recommended.

Kirsty is an excellent teacher and I would recommend her to anyone who wants to learn to drive well (and pass their test). I started off in July as a bag of nerves behind the wheel. Now, less than 5 months later I've passed my test and love driving because I feel equipped with the knowledge and skills to drive safely. So much of this is down to Kirsty who knows her stuff and is a natural teacher. Lessons are fun!

Hey, after switching from another driving company to minidrivers my instructor became Tracy Whitelaw who is a brilliant one. Tracy's very patient and makes learning to drive easier and a fun experience. She makes you feel very comfortable and feels more like a friend than an instructor, and driving her mini aint so bad either. If it wasn't for her i would not have past my test first time on friday the 13th of November, which turned out not so unlucky!
