“I would 100% recommend Steph to anyone who is looking to learn to drive. After a few tries with manual and a few failed tests, I was concerned I wouldn’t be able to drive at all because I didn’t seem to be able to overcome my issues. Switching to automatic and choosing Steph was a great decision. Steph made the lessons really easy and comfortable, and she has a great no pressure approach to learning. I was finally able to relax and focus and I passed my automatic test first time. Steph is really friendly and approachable, as well as being flexible and able to fit in my lessons around my schedule.” - Nick
