Rachel Armstrong, you were the best driving instructor I could have asked for. When I first attempted to learn how to drive about 10 years ago I did not have the belief that I could pass the driving test so I gave up. Near the end of 2020, with the pandemic and lockdowns leaving me with little to do, I decided it was time to finally have another go at learning to drive. I quickly found Rachel's website and she sounded like the instructor for me and I'm so glad that turned out to be true. Rachel was very patient and encouraging. She gave me the confidence and ability to learn the skills I would need to pass my test. Rachel was friendly, allowing us to have pleasant conversations which helped me to become more relaxed behind the wheel. She was also not afraid to point out my many mistakes and what I needed to do to avoid making the same mistakes again. We practiced all the manoeuvres and drove on many of the roads in the area over and over again to allow me to become confident and relaxed on those roads which would prove so important in my test. Rachel was also flexible and able to work around my changing work schedule. Rachel turned me from an anxious wreck behind the wheel, to a confident and competent driver, so much so that I passed my driving test on my first attempt with zero faults. That shows what an excellent instructor Rachel is, and I could not recommend her highly enough. Thank you so much for everything you have done for me. I am truly grateful for your teachings and encouragement.
