I wish to extend my deepest thanks to Urmila who has been a wonderful calm and firm instructor. She ensured I built confidence by providing immediate and helpful feedback when I was on the road and her expertise with the licensing process and procedures was much appreciated. I like Coastwide’s text and email reminders of lessons and timely updates on the covid-19 situation and how it impacted lessons. Many thanks

I would like to thank 2 people for helping me get my P License.

Starting with Naomi for helping organising the lesson with Sandy and the instructor car. Customer service received was very friendly and excellent service that she provided.

Lastly Sandy, she went over some refreshers which helped me pass the test. She gave me a few pointers that I carried into the test and it helped me pass. So I couldn't have done it without Sandy's assistance.

I appreciate the late assistance with the test and the driving lesson and helping get my P License.

The learning with Coastwide was fantastic from start to finish. Booking lessons and my Test Day Package was a breeze with the website, being able to pick and choose my preferred times.

My Driving Instructor, Aaron, was amazing in my lessons, calm and cool the whole time which made me less nervous about the whole experience. He was very knowledgeable and had great communication when it came to teaching road rules and different maneuvers which helped me greatly get comfortable and ace my practical test.

Would highly recommend Coastwide Driving to anyone looking to learn how to drive and would very much recommend my Instructor Aaron to teach you how.

Thanks !!!

She was always happy to answer all of my questions and she really went above and beyond to accommodate my schedule & family commitments to ensure I was able to complete lessons & tests at my convenience which I really appreciated! It’s been a journey ~ 15 lessons + 3 pre lessons & 3 tests but I finally did it! Thanks to Sandy I’ve finally overcome my phobia and have my freedom! I can not recommend Sandy highly enough! She’s a super instructor and I know where I’ll be sending my 6 kids when it’s time for them to get their licenses (which isn’t long away now)!

I put off getting my license for years! Last year I booked a lesson with a smaller, slightly cheaper company. They made me extremely uncomfortable, gave no direction and put me off driving again completely. This year I decided to give it another shot. I booked some lessons with Julie and have never been more happy with an impulse purchase in my life! 
Julie from day one was able to identify the areas I was most nervous in and was able to adjust and try different teaching techniques until we found a way that worked for me. Her directions were clear and she was constantly offering praise when I did the most basic of things right so that I always felt calm, confident and safe while driving. Having a background as an examiner made her the perfect instructor! She knew all of the course routes and could tell me absolutely everything I needed to know for the test so by the time I took my test It felt like I was just going on another drive with Julie! Passing my test (first go) was bittersweet in the end because i'm going to miss my morning lessons and laughs with her but am so excited for the next person who gets to sit next to her and learn from this incredible woman! There's no words to describe how thankful I am that I happened to book my lessons with her and no way I could ever thank her enough for giving me the confidence I needed to finally go for it! I can wait for the freedom I'm going to have just by driving safe and correct! 
Thankyou for everything Julie and thankyou Coastwide for having such an incredible instructor within your company!
