I am so grateful for all of your support Hazel, you are the best.  Before I started my lessons with Hazel I had already had several instructors from independent and other companies over the years and could not seem to get to test ready. As soon as I began my lessons with Hazel she created a learning environment where I felt relaxed, reassured and excited to be doing my lessons and preparing for life on the roads. I found the workbook and online resources from LDC really useful and those alongside Hazel's fantastic skills as an instructor helped me to pass in less than a year, which was a goal which had seemed out of reach for so long. Hazel helped me to gain confidence on the road quickly, planning my lessons together using a focused and fun approach. I felt I had choice in how I learnt and what to try next while still maintaining structure using the LDC model. Everyone learning to drive will find different parts of the process challenging. With Hazel I felt that the areas I found most challenging where much easier to overcome with her clear, calm and confident way of communicating what wasn't working while still helping me to feel confident and assured that I was making good progress. I would highly recommend Hazel to anyone of any level of experience learning to drive or looking to pass their tests as she is professional, friendly and has a way of making you feel so at ease. I passed my theory first time and I know this was down to not just the resources from LDC but Hazel's skills as an instructor, correlating what I had been learning to real scenarios on the road as I took my practical lessons which helped the knowledge to come to life and stick. I passed my practical driving test on my second attempt after Hazel supported me to gain control over the overwhelming nerves I had experienced on my first attempt, she coached me through managing my nerves with tips and encouragement. Hazel is an amazing driving instructor and worth every penny, not only did she help me to pass but I now feel I am a confident and safe driver thanks to her mentoring.
