I had both manual driving instructors Michale and Barry, they were fantastic with their teaching skills, calm and collective where I felt ease in learning to drive manually. I was able to pass the practical test at first go. Highly recommend both instructors.

Hey Michelle! I just wanted to say a huge thank you for taking me on my very first manual driving lesson! You were absolutely amazing from start to finish. I was a nervous going in, but you made me feel so comfortable and calm the whole time. You explained everything so clearly and were so patient and encouraging, it really made such a difference. I also learned so many new things during the lesson from working the clutch to turns, and I can already feel my confidence growing thanks to your guidance. I’m aware I still have plenty more practice to do and would love to keep practicing with you. I’ll definitely be booking more lessons with you! Thank you again for being such a wonderful instructor, you truly made the lesson such a positive and enjoyable experience!

Great driving instructor, really prepared me for the test and many different driving situations to build my confidence on the road in a manual. Lots of practice in the Greenslopes area made test day way easier as well because I knew the things around me.

Michelle is the best instructor I've ever had, and I've had a good handful. I am an extremely nervous driver and I chose to learn manual. Four lessons with Michelle, and I passed my test first go. She is extremely patient, reassuring, and she creates an incredible teaching atmosphere whilst giving super helpful feedback. Definitely recommend.

I went for my P test today and I passed. A very big thank you to Michelle, who taught me all the road rules and was very patient with me when I had not driven a manual car before. 4 lessons later, and a lot of patience from Michelle, and I passed my test first go this morning, I 100% would recommend Michelle to anyone! She was lovely, and super excited for me when she found out that I had passed! Thanks Michelle - I appreciate everything you did to help me!

Kai

I don't know what Michelle is going to do without her best and funniest student now that I have my P's..... Michelle is the most patient person I have ever met. She is also one of the loveliest, she has a great sense of humor and is super supportive and student focused. It took me three years to go for my P's and when I did I got my license on my first attempt. I feel this is largely due to Michelle's teaching ability and attention to detail. If you are after a driving instructor I highly recommend Michelle, she has taken a somewhat nervous learner and turned me into a competent driver with a good combination of caution and confidence. Thank you Michelle. I hope to see you around. - Kai Bartz-Jennings

I needed to upgrade from my automatic licence to my manual licence for work. I'd never driven a manual before, so it was completely new to me/slightly overwhelming. Michelle was such a patient & supportive instructor, her teaching & feedback style was clear and simple to follow, and she helped me to get over my nerves & feel more confident driving a manual. When it was time for me to sit my manual driving test, I passed on my first attempt! Michelle was friendly and really easy to get along with, it was a great experience driving with and learning from her. I can't recommend her enough, she was a blessing.

Just wanted to say a big thank you for teaching my youngest son to drive. Matthew passed his test first go at the Southport testing centre today. A big thank you to Walter and Michelle who taught Matthew to drive - and for their amazing patience. Both my sons got their licence thanks to Coastwide. Next will be grand-kiddies but probably not for about 20 years! Wishing you all lots of success. With deepest appreciation.

Ryan

I booked with Michelle for my first ever lesson and she completely changed my mindset about driving. Previously, I held a deep fear of getting in the car and going for a drive, but after meeting Michelle my confidence improved significantly and I felt motivated to jump in the car to refine my skills. She exemplified a rich understanding of driving and teaching, allowing me to further develop my manual understanding. She also gave clear, direct instructions, explanations and examples, while maintaining her patience with my mistakes. She's got me hooked! So If you're looking for an amazing instructor--Michelle will exceed expectations.

Thank you so much Michelle! She is the best instructor that I can find. I wanted to learn manual as it enables me to drive both manual and auto. She is really good at explaining and picking up things I need to notice. She's also really friendly and supportive.

Good morning

I would like to say a special thank you to Michelle Armfield. Michelle was the driving instructor for my child. Michelle took the learning at a pace that suited my child and was really supportive. Even once the lessons ended, Michelle still took the time to follow up and was one of the first people we contacted when the passing the driving test. I would highly recommend Michelle for anyone looking for a kind, compassionate, understanding driving instructor.

That's again Michelle, you have been truly awesome.
