"I had such bad driving anxiety that I was shaking on my first lesson. My instructor was so calm and reassuring. She never once raised her voice or made me feel bad for mistakes. We took it really slowly and within a few weeks I actually started enjoying driving. Passed at Wanstead first time with only 4 minors!"
