Had to put one star because you can't put no stars. My sister booked with this lady. She had never driven or drove a car and wanted to learn to drive. She was nervous enough. The driving instructor talked to her horribly saying can you "ride a bike" or" use a pair of scissors". Just criticised her. She seemed more bothered about the payment than learning my sister to drive. Stay clear of this women. I think she only is okay with you if you have had more driving experience. Or just wanting to have a chat and a laugh.

Don't drive with her. If you're a nervous and anxious person like me then find someone better. She was condescending and insulting. She shouted at me for checking my mirror, would raise her voice if I was doing something wrong and asked me if I had common sence and asked if I could ride a bike or use scissors. She really disheartened me but luckily I've found a more patient instructor.

Just passed my test 1st time with only 3 minors all thanks to Julie’s excellent instruction, enormous knowledge of the driving test and centre itself and amazing memory joggers.
I was absolutely terrified of everything and had a lot of days that felt like I was never going to be good enough to even sit a test, but with Julie’s patience and perseverance, the results speak for themselves!
Plus you spend a huge amount of time with your driving instructor, and I never expected to have so much fun and laugh so much!
Fantastic automatic driving instructor, I can’t thank Julie enough for getting

I took one lesson with this instructor with a view to book a block of either 10 or 20 lessons but after the experience I had with her, I decided to bolt and get a new tutor.
As an initially nervous student who hasn't had a lesson in around10 years, it certainly didn't help me that she spent most of the lesson insulting me personally several times, making horrible little remarks such as "can you roll a ball?", "can you use scissors?" and making very inappropriate remarks when I was very nervous and needed reassurance or some constructive advice.
Also, she couldn't even find her way to me and was
