Siobhan was always friendly, which I think helped a lot in keeping me calm during the initial driving lessons, which certainly helped when I inadvertently made mistakes, and got me on the right track to correct them. As I was also under a lot of stress while taking my driving lessons from university, she was always understanding of my needs and helped guide me to what I can now call one of the happiest experiences of my life - hearing the words 'you passed'.

While driving is not my favorite past time, and I was always nervous before the lesson began - my instructor was great at helping me settle into driving and building my confidence, so while I didn't always enjoy driving - she certainly made the lessons more enjoyable than I found them with my previous instructor.

At the start of my driving lessons, I was provided with a driving skills workbook which linked in with each new part of my driving. This book was especially useful in the leadup to my driving test as it had loads of info on common driving faults and what they look for on your test.

While driving always made me nervous and I find the idea of being behind the wheel very stressful, the overwhelming feeling of success was incredible, and now that I have passed my test I feel very excited about the prospect of getting a car and driving on my own.
