Client Testimonial, by Lisa
My driving lessons with Alison exceeded my expectations and were a great value for money. I couldn’t afford many hours, and was nervous I wouldn’t benefit from the minimal time, but she was incredibly calm, patient and honest and just good at her job. I passed my test with only one minor and wouldn’t have done that without her. Thank you Alison!!
