Awesome driving school is just awesome! I had Mike as my instructor and if it wasn’t for him I would not have got my ps first go. I’m beyond happy with where he has bought me in my driving skills, (even my friend said that she’s surprised at how good I am) He’s such a good instructor, he’s friendly, easy to get along with and has good knowledge. If you are looking to pass your ps test and gain better and safer driving skills, I highly recommend him to anyone. Big thumbs up from me.

Jemma Psaila

Thank You To Mike from awesome driving school for making me a safe driver & passing my p’s test first go! Mike was a very good instructor and definitely has a lot of experience. Very happy with the things I learnt with Mike and they will forever be remembered while I’m driving! . Jemma

Tabitha Louise

Mike was a friendly, respectful, and professional instructor who knew his stuff. He took on the monumental task of getting me test ready in 2 days with no formal lessons under my belt.
I knew it was a long reach and being such last minute made it almost an impossible task. After 6 lessons over 2 days I took my test and passed on the first go!
Highly recommend and in all honesty you would be mad to go somewhere else.

Blake Prior

Nic Bridge

So yesterday my twin boys started their journey with awesome driving school. I rang in the morning and was set without a worry for the afternoon with a 2hr block to suit us and our busy lives. Was told that we had been booked in with Mike and we would have our keys 2 drive lesson and talk. Mike was great. He sat and spoke with both boys in each lesson and explained what the keys 2 drive was all about. I listened and actually learnt a lot from him that i could use to help them in their driving journey. Then we went for a little drive. By the time this was over the boys and i were comfortable and we instantly booked 3 lessons each for the boys with him. So glad that Mike will take them through to getting their P's. Thanks again

Ashleigh Lakomy

Our whole experience with Awesome driving school has been fantastic.

The customer service provided by the admin staff was definitely 5 star and I can't speak highly enough of how helpful they were right up to booking in the test. I am a complaints manager and very rarely give out this type of praise.

My son had lessons with Carl who was fantastic, put him at ease straight away and spoke on a level that my son could easily relate to. A thoroughly top bloke.

Day before the test Carl took him for a lesson in my sons car and I just wanted to say Thank You as he passed the driving test with 100% even though it was poring with rain!

You guys really are AWESOME!!

Many Thanks
A Happy Mum

Jasmine Turner

Ron taught me ways to work with and around my anxiety over driving for years until I finally got my Ps! Highly recommended.

Sienna Wright

Driving instructor: Mike
Where do I begin~
I’m an 18 year old who suffers with severe anxiety and Dislexia among other things and Mike has made me feel comfortable and welcome in his company.
He has helped pushed me to learn the correct road and safety rules as well as making me feel confident in my driving skill.
I was able to get my license within 6 lessons and passed on my first try~
I highly recommend mike in particular but this is a great reliable place to invest in if you’re wanting your license quickly and safe.

Miriam Holland

Stacy has been my husband David’s instructor for a few weeks now. She is the most patient caring instructor and has boosted my husbands confidence so much. The change I have seen in my husband has been incredible. I want to thank you Stacy and I would recommend you to anyone needing driving lessons.
Thank you for continuing with his driving lessons.

Thanks
Miriam Holland

Luke Stilo

Steve is an outstanding instructor who taught me stuff above and beyond of what I needed to know for the test of which I was successful and was funny and a patient instructor.

Matthew Madden

As a 35 year old, with no driving experience and anxiety issues which have prevented me getting behind the wheel, booking a lesson with an experienced and understanding instructor was very important to me. Mike was exceptional, from teaching me the basics, to having me pass my driving test on the first attempt and providing me the necessary skills to become a safe driver on the roads. Due to busy work and study demands, I relied on lessons from Mike and the Awesome Driving School almost exclusively, and to have passed my driving test after a few short months, was beyond my wildest dreams. Thanks for giving me my independence, I cannot recommend Mike and the Awesome Driving School highly enough!

Michelle Gonzales

I had Ed as my instructor and i cant thank him enough for such a wonderful learning experience. Ed is very calm and patient. I highly recommend him to all Learners. Thank you Ed! I couldnt have passed my Ls test without you

Taylor Stirton

I couldn’t of asked for a better instructor. After driving for over a year I needed someone who could teach me everything I needed in order to pass my test. I had only 4 lessons with Mike and in that time I was able to complete everything necessary and gain more confidence than I ever thought I could. I passed my test first go 100%! Im very thankful for everything Mike did for me and I couldn’t recommend him enough to other drivers.

Jamie Eagleton

I had all my lessons with Mike. Mike is a great instructor that instilled confidence in me that I did not know I had! I went from a driver who did not know much about driving at all, to a driver who passed their P’s test 100%! Thank you so much Mike!

Sybil Shen

I had Ron as my instructor for a while and I couldn’t recommend him enough. He is such a nice person and always calm and patient. He constantly cheers me up and builds my confidence. I had a couple more lessons with him as test drives before I went for my P and it was extremely helpful! He knows where those routes are and where they are looking to exam you exactly. He always gave me positive feedbacks at the end of driving lessons even I knew I did a couple of mistakes. I really appreciate his positive words because they certainly helped me build my confidence to pass the test. If anyone is looking for an instructor, Ron is the one you want to have.

Sam Girkin

5 stars! Ron has helped me so much with my driving skills and confidence. I would not have been able to get my license without his help. Highly recommended school, especially for anxious drivers! Could not rate highly enough!

Georgia Pearce

Would highly recommend awesome driving school to anyone. Marty got me through my test and I wouldn’t have passed without him. Best driving instructor I’ve ever had by far.

Bianca Morris

From a person having major anxiety I remember the first day Mike turned up for my driving lesson. I was so nervous and didn't want to get out of the house. For the first couple of weeks I didn't get out into any traffic, but as the months when on and getting to know Mike really helped calm my anxiety and he was really understanding to what I was going through. And he has now shown me to be confident within myself and driving. To the point where I got my Ps first go. I wouldn't be where I am today if it wasn't for him.

Michelle Bristow

Highly recommend Awesome Driving School!
After being offroad for 5 years, Ron put my anxious mind at ease! Very calm and engaging instructor who I will definitely be in touch with when my daughter gets her L's!
4 lessons and an OT assessment and I now have my full licence back!
Thankyou!

He even gets out of the car to show me he can disappear into my blind spots. From reception through to the instructor, the team is so friendly! I also think the text message reminder system is awesome. I never forget my lesson. I highly recommend this driving school. 100% love awesome driving school!!!

Isaac Wightman

I had multiple lessons with Mike from Awesome Driving School and it was clear that he really did care that I not only passed my driving test but also became a much better, and safer driver. Mike went above and beyond to ensure that I learnt all manoeuvres and procedures correctly and knew how to apply them to everyday driving. He was friendly, easy to be in a car with, and professional. I would definitely recommend both Mike and Awesome Driving School to anyone looking for a driving instructor.

Will Adams

Mike was an amazing instructor who helped me build confidence in my ability on the road in a short period of time. His knowledge of testing procedures and his professionalism during lessons were contributing factors to me passing my driving test first go.
I cannot thank Mike enough for all of his help. Your tips and advice not only helped me pass my test but have helped me become a safer, more confident driver.

Jacinta Boyd

Mike is very professional, his teaching is concise. He gave me confidence in my driving, I passed first go. Even with COVID-19 causing my test to be rescheduled two months later, he was super kind shuffling my lessons around so that I would still have lessons close to my test date ensuring I was ready. I highly recommend Mike as a driving instructor.

Laura Jamieson

Mike has been my driving instructor for the past 3 months and each lesson I felt like I was so much more confident in my driving ability. Mike always assured me that I would be able to pass my P's test first try if I followed his instructions. He taught me many little ways to remember the technical things that I have to do, and I don't think I will ever miss checking my blind spots again! I passed my P's test first go, and I know that that would have been impossible without Mike's teaching! I would 10/10 recommend Mike and Awesome Driving School! Thank you!

Isabella Keft

I had Eline and she was great ! I learnt so much and passed my p’s test on my first try :)

Benjamin Halton

Mike is an outstanding driving instructor who helped me come so far in my driving and without him I don’t think I would have been able to pass my driving test first go. Mike was always willing to take calls even when he wasn’t working if I had any questions.

Thomas Elliss

I would highly recommend Awesome Driving School and in particular instructor Mike, over the course of my learning Mike has been persistently striving to improve my skills, even going beyond and offering to help me with any questions or concerns I have had any time. Overall Mike is quite skilled at teaching and really knows how to push you to improve, would highly recommend.

Cassim Kadarkhan

I would highly suggest others to regard scheduling with Marty Armstrong at Awesome Driving School. As from my personal experiences with Marty so far, he is a friendly and nice easy-going instructor as I gained a bunch of advice and techniques which would benefit me in the future and to become a more competent driver.??

Thanks
Cassim

Renee Ash

I've been driving with Awsome driving school for 3 months, after my first instructor left he recommended Scott Buchanan, I was a very nervous driver a few months ago and changing instructors was very daunting, Scott put me at easy, his calm,paitent,informative loves a chat and is always happy to laugh along with me when I dont quite do things right Id highly recommend him, I look forward to my weekly drives and that's something I never thought I'd say.

Chantelle Vogt

Customer service is amazing, Always there too help and our driving instructor Sherry is fantastic

Susan Wang

Sherry has been excellent. I was very nervous when I went for my first session
with Sherry. She put me at ease very quickly, because of her quiet, calm and gentle manner.
Her explanations and instructions were very easy for me to understand and I have very quickly gained confidence.
She is an outstanding teacher and a lovely person as well.

Lilli Andrews

Would like to say a huge thank you to Steve who taught me manual driving. He was very calm and patient with me and gave me some really helpful instructions and methods to help make manoeuvres easier for me! Passed my test first try thanks to his teaching :)

Thanks so much Bartley, you were wonderful and Thomas really enjoyed his lessons with you.

Petria Symington

Thanks Scott for helping me get my licence first go. Your a legend driving instructor.

Brendan Jury

Nick was a great teacher and helped me tremendously throughout my time as a learner. He took time to explain things clearly, showed how to perform the stressful first time maneuvers i.e. 3 point turn etc. Thank you Nick for teaching me well. I'm still keeping on my head checks.

Jacob Marks

Scott was amazing in teaching my son to drive a manual. He passed first go. Thanks Scott

Makealee Doney

I LOVED awesome driving school Marty and Mark were the best!!

Brooke Martin

Marty is an excellent driving instructor! He makes you feel comfortable & calm in any situation while you’re driving.
I passed my test first go all thanks to Marty!
Even now when I see him while I’m driving he always manages to recognise me & always wave.
I recommend Marty & awesome driving school!

Jack Jenkins

I highly recommend Mike as a driving instructor because I believe that he really eased me into driving by teaching me little tricks that made me a better driver than I would've been without him. Mike really connects with you as a driving instructor and gets to know you and he becomes more of a friend that joins you on a journey of your life rather than just being a driving instructor. I don't believe without Mike's help I would've been able to get my P's my first try. Thanks Mike!

Jenna Hutton

Ed is a brilliant driving instructor and I enthusiastically recommend him to anyone learning to drive ! I am 30 years old and was quite anxious about driving, but Ed always made me feel at ease and, when I needed it, boosted my confidence. I would not have learnt the skills I needed to pass my driving test without him. He is always full of good conversation, but appreciates when to let you concentrate, and he will drill the rules of driving into your brain in a lighthearted and witty manner. I will forever be turning corners thinking "Don't let that bike rider sneak in between you and the curb", driving on busy roads with the attitude "Sit back and let the circus unfold around you, you don't need to be apart of it", and three point turning with Ed's voice saying "Did you do that head check? Are you sure?" Thank you so much Ed. I appreciate your help and support more than I can say.

Jazmin Norley

Not just 5 but 100 Stars for Colin!! Colin took me for my 1st drive on the road, a couple in between then up to a drive on the day of my test and I passed!! Colin is absolutely lovely, VERY patient, calm, friendly, professional and explained everything in detail. He made me feel very relaxed, secure and comfortable each time I went with him (even when I made mistakes lol). I absolutely recommend Colin to everyone!! Thanks so so much Colin!!!!

Samantha Haydon

I can’t thank Mike enough for everything he has done for me. Mike is an exceptional and genuine instructor. He taught me all the basics to all the specific details, he taught me everything I know now. After having many different instructors whilst on my Ls, I found mike who made the biggest impact and made me become the confident, safe driver I am today. He was thorough, polite and very professional. I passed my test first go and am extremely great full for all his help, support and encouragement. I would 100% recommend him!

Craig Steele

I was lucky enough to have Mike as my driving instructor. His easy to understand instructions and thorough knowledge of what it takes to pass the driving test allowed for my to pass my test first try!

Would definitely recommend Mike to anyone!

Leah Doyle

Please note that Leah only started lessons on October 2019. Previous lessons were with Harrison, my older son.

Chelsea Hunt

Just wanted to say a huge THANK YOU to Bartley for teaching both my girls to drive. My eldest passed a couple of years ago and loved Bartley's style of teaching so when my youngest was learning to drive we didn't hesitate in recruiting Bartley!! She has also now passed.
Would definitely recommend Bartley and I do!!
Thank you also Awesome Driving you have been a pleasure to work with.
Regards Kay

Imogen McLoughlin

Highly recommend Awesome Driving School and having Mike as he is a great instructor. I had a total of 5 lessons with Mike and he taught me everything I needed to know in order to pass my test first go but also to be a safer driver as a whole. I can’t thank Mike enough for his kindness and everything that he did.

Cameron Ilacqua

Mike helped me pass my driving test first go. He knew exactly what the examiners were looking for. Could not have done it without him.

Tracey Evans

My daughter suffers with very high anxiety and depression. Being able to get her P’s was going to be a major challenge from testing to get her L’s to the usual impatience of other drivers on the road, and then the lead up to and the day of testing for P’s.

We were very fortunate to come across Mike from Awesome Driving School. Mike is a very experienced and knowledgeable instructor who made her feel at ease and comfortable. His driving instructions were clear and he would give her key practice points. He was able to deal with her anxiety. He helped her regain her confidence and she was well prepared for her test. Through his continued support and patience, she has successfully today obtained her P’s on her first attempt and gained her independence.

As a parent I know my daughter is a more careful and safer driver for having Mike’s guidance. We were so impressed we will be asking Mike to teach our son, who has autism, to drive. Thanks Mike

Nelly Williams

I am a 33 year old woman who has experienced some trauma/set-backs that have resulted in me never obtaining my drivers licence. I get very nervous and anxious both while driving and often as a passenger also. I recently started driving lessons with Mike Oldfield from Awesome Driving School and was absolutely blown away with how perfect his teaching and communication methods were for me. He is incredibly thorough, very experienced and overwhelming dedicated to his role as a driving instructor. I have completed several lessons with Mike and have never felt as confident as I do now when driving. I still have along way to go but am confident that Mike has equipped me with all the knowledge and skills i need to pass my test. Super grateful to have come across Awesome and Mike, Thank you immensely!

Megan Souter

After using multiple driving schools an feeling like I was learning nothing and wasting my money. I found mike, mike had the difficult task of uninstalling and correcting all the bad driving habits I had been taught. He also had to juggle my pregnancy hormones an my tendency to cry or be cranky because i kept forgetting a blind spot or the correct procedures.
I would of never had the confidence to go for my P test let alone pass (first go with no errors) if I hadn’t of found mike. He’s an awesome guy an I cannot recommend him enough.

Bagani Miclat

Had an absolute great time and a comfortable and safe experience driving with my instructor Mike Oldfield. He is a very patient and helpful instructor who can be both professional and friendly. Never once did I feel nervous driving with him and he always makes sure to do everything in his ability to give you the best learning experience as efficiently and effectively as possible. However, includied with his professionalism comes his friendliness and calm approach that will help alleviate any anxiety that you're with an instructor but rather an informative friend who is there to help you out. My journey as a learner with him has been full of laughter and ease of mind, making sure that the drive will be alright, and never to forget to have confidence in oneself, this will be unforgettable and I will take his lessons and advice with me for the rest of my life, helping me become a safe driver on the roads.

I truly appreciate and am very grateful for his instruction, letting my results and pass be a reflection of his amazing job as a driving instructor.

Emma Hughes

We can’t thank Marty enough for everything he achieved with our daughter.. he was kind, compassionate, knowledgeable and was able to relate to her really well.. she was very anxious and he was able to relieve all those anxieties and give her all the confidence she needed to succeed in gaining her licence. I absolutely could not recommend Marty enough!! Thanks again Marty for everything!!

Jessica Wright

I started at awesome driving school 15 months ago it took me a few lessons till I found mike who made me feel very comfortable and calm even when he was on the brake half our drive, it was a long road of many ups and downs to finally get to where we are today passing my driving test first attempt, a massive thankyou to mike as I couldn’t of done it without you best driving instructor ever!!

Tim Wrigley

Hey guys, just wanted to say thanks. Because of the lessons i had with Mark i was able to get my P's. You guys are great.

I had spent 10 months with Mike and I have enjoyed every bit of it. There was lots of laughs and got along extremely well. Felt very comfortable behind the wheel with Mike as a supervisor and learnt how to drive and the maneuvers quickly. Mike and the Amazing Driving school are a great driving school and very easy to be in constant contact with incase of any issues. Thank you Mike for seeing me through to my Provisional license.

I very highly recommend Awesome Driving School especially Scott Buchanan and Mark Day! As a 30 year old who has been terrified of driving since I was little I never thought that it would be possible for me to ever hold a drivers licence, but Scott was amazing and patient and helped me with my nerves...I actually really looked forward to my lessons and being behind the wheel too and before I knew it, I had passed my P's test on the first go. I can happily say that I am a confident driver and thoroughly enjoy my newfound freedom. A special thanks goes out to the lovely ladies sound the admin side of things, Grace, thanks for helping me book my test and for handling a tricky situation with the payment thereof. Stay awesome guys and gals! You are all amazing.

My time with Mike was amazing, to flew past really quick and I learnt everything I needed and more to pass and receive my provisional license. Lots of laughs and advice on general stresses, I found it easy to be comfortable and relaxed when driving. Thank you Mike for teaching me how to drive safely and all the knowledge I needed

I highly recommend Mike, he is a great instructor who helped me very much in my few lessons I had with him. Today I passed my P1 test thanks to Mike.

Jheric Vergara

I would like to thank Mike as he helped me so much with perfecting the details with my driving skills, he has shown me to be patient and confident within myself in each of our lessons which led me to pass my test first go. His patience towards me has been amazing as he was calm in situations and helped me stay calm as well, and he is very straight forward with the instructions he gives out making sure that each manoeuvre is done safely and professionally. I had 4 lessons with Mike and I can say with such certainty that he has helped improved my driving skills from being "bronze standard" to "gold standard" and the journey we had together from day one was amazing as he showed faith and never doubted me which makes you feel so comfortable when taking your lessons. I would highly recommend Mike to be your driving instructor and I couldn't have passed my test without him. Thank you for all your help Mike!!!! Best of luck to you

Carl was a awesome instructor. Friendly, professional and nice. He was able to provide all the information and tools needed to better your driving as well as be very prepared for your test.

Thanks to Carl I was able to past my driving test with a 100% score (113/113).

Regards

Jessie Chesworth

Nick was the best teacher ever.

Chet Robinson

I had Mike Oldfield as my instructor from awesome driving school and he was the best. He taught me how to drive safe and made me feel comfortable on the road. He was to get me from a nervous not to keen to drive kid to passing my P’s test first time at Erina. I didn’t think I could get there and without mike helping me I wouldn’t have. I would recommend Mike to anyone. He made me believe I was able to get my P’s. Thanks Mike and awesome driving school

Preety Bedi

I had Marty and he is definitely the best instructor I’ve had

Jessica Irazabal

Mike is very calm and patient, with firm helpful instructions. After the first lesson he spent time to discuss the progress & the expectation of the lessons. Thank you

Nicholas Weingaertner

Thank you so much Mike for your expert knowledge and tips in assisting Nicholas to pass his driving test on his first attempt. You were very thorough and ensured Nick was ready to pass and drive safely. I am sure he is going to be an excellent driver due to your instruction.
Thanks again

I recently passed my driving test after having lessons with Ron. Ron was very patient, understanding and friendly when teaching me how to drive. He was very good at explaining things in a way that was easy for me to understand. I totally recommend Ron if you want to learn to drive!

Sophie Norris

Had lessons with both Sherry and Mike and they were both fantastic and helped me pass first go. Sherry was extremely patient with me and helped me develop great driving habits before my test. As she was away for my test, Mike took me before my test and helped me by believing in me, being calm and having clever rhymes for me to remember. Would definitely recommend both!

Isabella Magri

I highly recommend Ed! He is an amazing teacher, for anyone who has just received their L’s or anyone about to go for their P’s! Both my sister and I have been having lessons with Ed and we both love him!! I have had a couple of different instructors before Ed who I felt didn’t teach me to the full potential I required. I booked lessons with Ed and couldn’t have been any happier! He is calm and very informative, he tells you exactly what you need to know to be a safe driver and so you are able to pass your test! He particularly clears up any confusion you may have! Today I passed my P1 test with full marks, all thanks to the help of Ed!

Braith Rowland

Scott was very experienced and taught me what I needed to know based on watching me drive
Thanks again mate

Mia Hickey

Mike is the best driving instructor!! Highly recommend to anyone. Mike took me out on my first driving lesson over a year and a bit ago. I didn’t even know how to turn the wheel properly to go around corners lol. He really gave me a confidence boost and gave me the preparation for test day and forever really. He taught me everything I needed to know to understand road rules as well as pretty much everything as I literally didn’t know how to drive before ??.I always enjoyed the time spent with him and now can call him a great friend, even part of the family by this point. From him going to great lengths taking me on drives on his day off pretty much every week I can finally say It paid off as I passed my test today!!! And got 100% ahhhh. I couldn’t of done it without him and couldn’t be more happier. I honestly could say I’ll miss him and so thankful I found him!!

Rheeannhyn Waters

I was a very nervous and stressed driver when I first started my lessons. I didn’t even want to leave the house when Mike first showed up, but after getting in the car Mike really calmed me down, cracked some jokes, and got me comfortable in that environment. Today I passed my p’s test first go and it was a total relief. I don’t think I could have done it without Mike. I highly recommend him and Awesome Driving School.

Jessica Wheeler

I recommend Stacy she was so nice and calm, she had great techniques to use that really helped me.
Stacy gave me the confidence to go for my licence and I finally passed my test last week.
So a huge thank you to Stacy

Chloe Dewick

I met Mike through the Safer Drivers Course a few months back. I knew from the minute he explained things to me that he was the instructor I needed to be a good and safe driver on our roads. At first I was very nervous and anxious about driving with an instructor but Mike was just so kind and helpful that he helped my nerves go away.

Mike helped me gain both confidence and experience on the road and under different traffic conditions. He took time to explain things so that they made sense. Mike is a very helpful and kind instructor and I 110% recommend him and Awesome for any learner of all stages!

I passed my driving test on the first go thanks to all the help that Mike gave me. I couldn’t have done it without his expertise and advice.

So thank you so much to Mike and the team at Awesome!

Kirsty Molloy

I can’t recommend Colin enough! :)
He was so helpful with explaining each thing we went through and so helpful with everything I needed to work on.
He explains everything very efficiently, he was by far the best teacher!
His lessons definitely fast tracked me to getting my license after only 4 lessons with him, i successfully passed my driving test with a perfect score!

Andrew Nichols

I would like to leave a happy 5 star review for Bartley Creamer who got me over the final driving test line today !
Bartley is a great driving instructor who put me at ease and helped me to focus on my driving abilities and taught me how to get better skills one by one till we had them all running smoothly. Also along with Awesome Schools Scott Blackmore who I also trained with, both are very good instructors. Bartley and Scott will help you get to where you want to go and I wish them all the best with their next students. Cheers, Andy Nichols

Congratulations Ron! Great working in a team! I did the modification lesson - 16 lessons - and I couldn’t be prouder. Spinner knob and left leg accelerator are the equipment provided by Ron, and I passed my driving test on the 17/06/2019! He is hell bent on me passing the test, and I know he is a great driving instructor for the Central Coast and Sydney!

My Daughter Charly has just today (on her birthday!) passed her P plate test. We would love to Thank Scott Blackmore for the past 12months of lessons and courses. What an awesome guy highly recommend Scott & Awesome Driving School to anyone. So professional and so easy has been very informative and calming through a process that can be very nerve racking as a parent!
Thankyou :)))))

Caitlin Matthews

Really good instructor, calm and provides lots of information during driving lesson

Daniel Hughes

I recently got my P’s and could have done it without awesome driving school and my instructor, Ron.

Caitlin Burrell

I originally began my driving journey through another driving school but made the change to Awesome Driving and i couldn’t recommend anyone better than Ron! He taught me so much and insured i felt completely comfortable and confident with myself as a driver, Ron has incredible patience and is brilliant when teaching. Overall i have enjoyed my time driving with Ron, he is excellent! ??

Victoria Merillo

I have been anxious about driving for years, but making the move to the coast with two small children, I knew I needed to drive. When I first met Ron I was so nervous about getting back in a car again, but he made me feel so relaxed and comfortable that I not only felt like I could drive again, he made me WANT to drive again. After 10 lessons and lots of practice in between I passed my Ps Test FIRST GO!!! The freedom has been amazing! Thank you Ron for giving me my wings, I never in a million years thought I’d be on the road again and it’s all thanks to your careful teaching and remarkable patience! I recommend Ron to anyone who is anxious about getting in the car for the first time or after a few years, he is awesome! ;)
