Being nervous is perfectly natural and quite common in learner drivers. Remember, your instructor was a learner who took his/her first driving lesson once! We understand that behind the wheel is an individual personality. We will tailor our teaching style to best suit your individual needs. We will talk with you, not at you. Most of all we will listen. We feel that it's very important to build a good rapport between pupil and instructor and pride ourselves on doing just that.
