Joy Godfrey Starting my driving journey I would recommend Claire as your driving instructor if you are looking for a friendly, kind and patient driving instructor. Claire is always so positive when I am learning with her and she has really helped me feel confident in my ability to learn to drive well. I started to learn to drive aged 43 and I was not sure how fast I would pick it up. I tried an introductory package with Claire and I quickly realised that I would be able to learn to drive, and that Claire is an enthusiastic and committed instructor to learn with. Claire finds great routes where I can practice within my comfort zone but also stretch my driving skills. I try to take on the new challenges she suggests and it has been amazing to see how much of a difference this has made to my skills and how fast I am learning. What has helped is having a driving instructor who is so confident in my abilities to learn and who is always clear that I am safe on the road, even when I have felt anxious. I can hardly believe how much progress I have made. About LDC I like the LDC student-centred learner driver system. Every week I can choose a section or two to read up on and it helps me have an idea of what I need to know. I like the weekly reflections you have to do in the book because it makes me analyse what I did in the lesson, what could be improved, what I am unexpectedly good at. It helps me consolidate my skills. Being able to check off things in the book means I don’t miss anything. My instructor is also free to take a lead on suggesting what areas I am ready to start on next, so with LDC it’s the best of both worlds. It actually feels easier when it is partly up to me what I learn because I can learn at a comfortable pace and I don’t feel under pressure. |
Neve Ross Starting out Driving While doing my lessons with Claire, She makes me feel comfortable and confident, she is really supportive. In the workbook I think it shares a lot of helpful information, to help choose my way of learning. Claire helps me understand and learn more each lesson, growing my confidence each time. |
