From learning the basics of clutch control to reverse parking Louise was knowledgable and made sure I had all the skills I needed. I always felt safe during my lessons which at the beginning was very reassuring. During the Covid-19 lockdowns Louise gave me support for my theory. I would definitely recommend Louise as she has been a great instructor! Not only did I PASS FIRST time but I must give credit to Louise for being so supportive!
