I was directed to Helen by my cousin who had also passed with her. I was desperate to drive after having my second child but didn't have much confidence and was nervous after dipping in out of lessons for a few years. Helen really made me relax and not over think things that had previously seemed difficult to me. She is laid back and always fitted me in around the kids and childcare. I would definitely recommend Helen to anyone wanting to learn how to drive an automatic. And I passed first time which I couldn't believe 😂 Thanks Helen!I have had driving lessons with Helen in her Automatic car for a few weeks, and passed my test first time.... Helen is amazing! Makes you feel at ease and comfortable giving you the guidance you need. I would highly recommend Helen to anyone wanting to learn. If I could give 10 starts I would!! XxDanielle CCouldn't recommend automatic driving lessons with Helen enough. Helen is the best driving instructor, very patient and helpful. I would recommend her for anyone who's looking for driving lessons!Leonie SumnerWould recommend Hardman Driving school. I passed my test today, Helen was very patient and made my confidence grow week by week. A very lovely person to talk to, nothing was ever too much trouble. Thanks again Helen, one of the best.Emma JonesA massive thank you to Helen, she is friendly, professional and puts you at ease when learning. I started with David in the Manual and then switched to try the Automatic with Helen. Both instructors helped build my confidence, and I am grateful for all the great advice they gave me. I could not recommend them enough. Thank you.Kim WilliamsDave has been a great instructor and really helped me gain my confidence on the road.
