Highly recommended susie after switching from manual she helped me build confidence. she has a great teaching style and is very friendly. thank you so much for helping me pass I took my driving lessons with Susie and passed my test a few months back. It was a great experience, she is very keen to follow trough trial and error and helps you a lot. Highly recommended. Luca Marchesi I learnt with Susie last year, she taught me in a way that worked for me and was really professional at all times and a good laugh. I managed to get a first time pass with under 30 hours of training with Susie, she is a great instructor to learn with. Robbie Penman Susie was amazing from start to finish. when I started my lessons, I was a nervous wreck but susie put me at ease and let me go at my pace. I had never had any lessons previous to starting and I passed 1st time within 5 months of doing lessons. would recommend susie 100% Emma L Gilfillan I was lucky enough to have Susie as my driving instructor! She was patient, kind and constructive all the way through my lessons and really built up my confidence which was a bit shaky after a bad experience with a previous instructor. I could not recommend her enough. I passed my test yesterday and genuinely could not have done it without her. 10/10 from me - thanks Susie! x
