We couldn’t be more grateful for the incredible support and instruction our daughter received. From the very first lesson, Nicola demonstrated a remarkable level of patience, professionalism, and dedication. She created a calm, encouraging environment that helped build our daughter’s confidence and skills behind the wheel. Nicola not only taught her the practical skills needed to drive safely but also helped her develop the focus and assurance required to pass her driving test—on her very first attempt! We highly recommend Nicola to any parent looking for a driving instructor who truly cares about their students’ success. A heartfelt thank you for helping our daughter reach this important milestone!

I couldn't have asked for a better driving school, booking lessins and the test package was incredibly easy and was a fair and resonable price for all the help and instruction I got. My instructor, Nicola, was the sweetest person and was patient and concise in her tutelage. She taught me how to do all the maneuvers in the perfect way (verbally teaching and visually, I loved the whiteboard drawings) I needed a lot of work and I definitely couldn't have done any of those aspects without her teaching me so well. She also helped me by mentioning bad habits in my driving I had picked up and worked me through fixing them for my test. Her vehicle was incredibly clean and a smooth ride, and she had a test scoring sheet on sheet for reference. All in all, keep doing what your doing!

Nicola is a truly incredible instructor who I absolutely recommend! As a shy and anxious driver, I loved learning from and driving with Nicola. She is calm, knowledgeable, patient, supportive, professional and encouraging. Nicola really took the time to work with me on my driving, parking, maneuvers and overall confidence on the road, and creates such a comfortable environment. She pushed me to overcome my fears, identify and improve upon my weaknesses, and reach milestones every lesson. She hugely supported me throughout my driving journey, including many early morning and night drives, and even supporting me on test day. She genuinely cares about her student's success, and I am so grateful to have had someone as wonderful as Nicola as my instructor. I could not have obtained my P plates without her guidance and support! Thank you!!

Learning to drive can be nerve-wracking, but Nicola made the whole experience genuinely enjoyable. Her calm and reassuring approach helped me build confidence with every lesson. She didn’t just teach me how to pass the test—she taught me how to be a safe and thoughtful driver for life. I always felt supported, especially when tackling tricky skills. I’m really grateful for her patience, professionalism, and empathy. Highly recommended to anyone looking for an instructor who truly cares about their students success.

Olive

Nicola was an amazing instructor. Olive felt comfortable with Nicola's kind and supportive approach which was really important to us. 10 lessons early on certainly made it easy for me as her supervisor as Nicola had done all the hard work and taught Olive the right way to drive. Another 3 lessons close to the test followed by the pickup pre test drive really set Olive up to not only pass the test but for me to feel that she is a safe capable driver. Nicola is really invested in her students success and I loved watching her and Olive celebrate the win yesterday. Thanks Nicola !

Nicola was AMAZING! Such a beautiful and kind instructor, I cannot fault her! After only ~6 months of practice with Nicola, I was prepared and ready to take my test. Nicola gave me the confidence to give it a go, and I am so thankful. I would definitely recommend her to anyone of any age, and will be encouraging my friends and family to learn with her. Thank you again Nicola!

To give Nicola 5 stars would be an understatement. She's the kindest, most patience and calm individual you'll ever meet, with her presence radiating confidence and comfort. She's wonderful to engage in conversation with, and fosters such a nurturing environment to learn in. I don't know where I would be without her. I could not recommend her enough, so if you're looking for an instructor who can be your friend and tailor to your driving style, look no further. Thank you Nicola!!

I had Nicola as my driving instructor and I could not have asked for a better person to teach me how to drive . Nicola was extremely welcoming and friendly . On the day of my driving test I had a lesson before i went in, I was so so anxious. Nicola came earlier than our lesson time and went over everything again for me ( she gave me more time to practice and calm myself) It meant so so much . I 10000% recommend her she is so patient with you and gave me confidence to drive . I would give her 10 starts if I could , thank you so much Nicola

I had the pleasure of learning to drive with Nicola, and I couldn't have asked for a better instructor. Nicola's calm, patient and made every lesson enjoyable and stress-free. She never put undue pressure on me, allowing me to learn at my own pace and gradually build confidence behind the wheel. Nicola created a comfortable learning environment where I felt supported and encouraged to improve. She took the time to understand my driving style and tailored her instruction to help me adjust and prepare for my driving test. Thanks to Nicola's guidance and expertise, I passed my driving test and now I can drive to anywhere by myself. I highly recommend booking lessons with Nicola for anyone looking to gain valuable knowledge and master good driving techniques. You won't be disappointed!

I highly recommend Nicola, it was such a great pleasure having her as my driving instructor. She is patient, caring and the most important thing she is so honest. She makes sure that I understand all the safety rules. Can ask any question , or practice certain things on the road and will explain in different ways that I understood, or repeat over and over again what I need to practice, till she thought I was confident and ready to move on next task. Getting my P's on the first time , with lessons with Nicola, says it all. Thankyou Nicola and wish you all the best. Dante J

Nicola was the best kind of instructor possible for a mature age, absolute beginner like me. She was always clear, patient, methodological in her teaching methods and very positive. She took the time necessary to make sure I understood how to improve at each step and she was always encouraging.

I’m so blessed to have had one of the best driving instructors, who is Nicola. She is friendly, professional, and most of all very patient with her students. I’ve learnt so much from her and no doubt my driving skills have improved immensely. I passed my driving test after having taken 3 lessons with her before the deriving test day. Now, I have the freedom to go wherever I want to go by myself. Many thanks to her patient teaching and kindness. I will highly recommend to anyone seeking a professional driving instructor. You will enjoy having driving lessons with her and positive experience.
