What My Students Say
“Jo is an excellent instructor. I had lost my confidence in the road 10 years back, but she built it up and made me pass my test. She goes through huge details, which can all be applied during the test. She is patient, calm and very very understanding. She will not only prepare you for the test, but also driving in your real life situations. I will miss our conversations.”
Ishita Ghosh
“Joan is a great driving instructor, she helped me pass first time. Couldn’t have done it without her. I recommend her to any one looking to drive automatic.🫶🏼”
Nicola Sophia
“Joan is one of the best and most patient automatic driving instructors there is. I would highly recommend her, as someone who is neurodivergent, she was extremely patient and takes things at the students own pace. I passed first time with her and I don’t think I could have without her!🚗🎉🎉”
