Passed first time with zero minors. Deb is a great instructor, always on time and each lesson builds on the skills which were taught in the previous lesson. You know you can always have a laugh and a joke on the lessons. I would recommend to anyone looking to start driving. Deborah is a really good instructor, with great guidance whilst being patient and supportive.She made it easy to understand what parts of the lesson went well and what parts needed work, which meant that I could see my progress easily, and I knew what to focus on.Thank you! Chris I have been learning to drive with Deborah for just over 2 years and finally passed a few days ago. Deborah was friendly and patient, the lessons always had a clear sense of direction so I could see my progress and identify what I needed to work on. Also very good value for money, I would highly recommend! Anna I have been with Deborah for three years due to not taking to driving like I thought I would and lack of confidence. Today I passed first time on my driving test. Thank you for all your hard work and not letting me give up. Your hard work and patience really paid off. Thank you!!!
