 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had an amazing experience learning with Ruaa. She taught me so much more than simply how to drive or how to pass my G test. She taught me to trust myself and my own abilities behind the wheel.
When I first started, I had a lot of anxiety around driving and often underestimated myself. She was incredibly patient, kind, and reassuring throughout the entire process. She has a way of making the rules of the road feel simple and understandable, while also giving you the confidence to make decisions on your own.
One of the things I appreciated most was that she never made me feel incapable when I made mistakes. She knew which areas I needed to work on, helped me improve them, and ultimately taught me that making an occasional mistake doesn't mean I'm a bad driver. She genuinely helped me become more comfortable and confident behind the wheel.
I passed my G test today, and although I'm incredibly happy to finally have my full G, I'm also genuinely sad that I won't have lessons with her anymore. She was an amazing instructor and an even better source of encouragement. I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone who wants not only to learn how to drive, but to become confident in their ability to drive.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ashish is amazing!!! I have nothing but amazing things to say, he was patient, kind and understanding throughout all of our in-car lessons! He has been so much fun and I have learnt so quickly from him! I always felt safe and secure. He covered everything I’d need for my G2, pointed out hazards, used a white board and lots of diagrams. He is the best 10/10 will miss him so much!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had an amazing experience with Ali, he was super helpful, patient and I felt comfortable with him the entire time. He took me to a variety of different places and so I feel like I got to learn how to drive in all types of roads and surroundings. He did a thorough explanation of the road test that makes me feel very confident that I will pass my g2. Overall great experience he was super pleasant to make conversation with and taught me alot!
