"Claire trained with me while I was a PDI (Potential Driving Instructor). I am now an ADI (Approved Driving Instructor) thanks to her patience, support and invaluable advice.
Claire observed my lessons, helped me evaluate them and understand what I needed to work on.
I also observed a number of Claire's lessons where she really led by example, showing me what a high standard driving lesson looks like, which I then incorporated in my own lessons.
Claire shared her expertise in a professional but friendly manner. She also helped me with my nerves which meant I was fully prepared for the final Part 3 assessment to become an ADI.
I highly recommend Claire to anybody looking to become a driving instructor or driving lessons, especially if you suffer with nervousness like me. She is amazing!
Thank you Claire. Couldn’t have done it without you!"
