Heidi Soljava-Duprat

I’d had such a bad experience with my first driving instructor, that I was a bit weary when I first contacted Trevor, despite all the positive reviews he’d received. I couldn’t have made a better choice! He was able to put me right at ease from the start (and I was a nervous wreck) with his calm and patient demeanour and he really helped me rebuild my confidence behind the wheel. He allowed me to progress at my own pace, whilst still gently challenging me to go just beyond my comfort zone at each lesson, which for me as a more “mature learner” was really important. I knew that I wasn’t going to be learning this skill at the pace of an 18-year old and felt that Trevor got that too.

Before I knew it, though, I was ready to take my test and, to my amazement, passed first time! Thank you so much Trevor, I genuinely couldn’t have done it without you. You taught me to trust my instinct and not to “over think it”! I would also heartily recommend the LDC model for anyone who struggles to take in all the information during lessons. I found that my brain was so frazzled with anxiety during the early lessons that it was actually much better to have something to read beforehand to prepare, rather than trying to take it all in when adrenaline was running high. I was also able to come to the lessons with my questions and queries ready, which Trevor would then be able to answer. It was also helpful to be able to refer back to the book until I’d grasped all the different concepts and manoeuvres. Again, thank you Trevor - you’re a star!
