Kim is an amazing driving instructor and was so helpful and patient throughout my lessons. She went the extra mile to help and understand my ADHD and how it affects my driving. She made sure I was 100% test ready and now I am a super confident driver! 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking for a driving instructor, especially those with ADHD or other needs as it makes a massive difference having someone so understanding. Thank you so much Kim for helping me pass first time !

What can I say…It’s been a long road (pardon the pun) but I’ve got there in the end. I narrowly failed my first attempt on an unlucky situation but didn’t let it get me down and did succeed the 2nd time and I couldn’t thank Kim enough! Kim also went out of her way to help me get a re-sit not long after which I really appreciate as we all know how long it is to get tests these days!

I completely recommend if you’re serious about putting the effort in to achieve passing your test. Kim is firm but fair and very passionate about teaching, spreading her knowledge and more importantly getting you to a very high standard to help bode well for your future driving. Will teach you everything you need to know and will put full believe into you, do expect some constructive criticism or tough love along the way if you make mistakes which I’m sure most of us can vouch for, but as a very experienced instructor Kim does know her stuff and as long as you listen carefully and take it in you’ll become a very competent and confident driver enabling you to be ready to pass ✅

All the best Kim and thanks again…no doubt I will see you around 🚘

Kim is absolutely brilliant, I struggled with previous instructors and failed tests but Kim got me to a great standard and I passed my test first time practicing with her. Can’t thank her enough. Recommend her to anyone.
