I had six lessons with Gilly leading up to my restricted test. I found them extremely helpful and learnt a lot from them. Gilly was great and was really accommodating during the lessons. She not only taught me what to do but also explained why we do it on the roads. Thanks to Gilly I was able to pass my restricted test first try!

I had my first driving lesson in NZ with Philip on a manual car (after not driving a manual in over 6 months) and Philip was so patient and professional and made me feel very safe and supported when driving again a manual after so long and feeling very inadequate. I have had many driving instructors in my life and it's truly valuable to find one that actually supports you and make you feel good about driving. Thank you very much again!

Charanjeet Sir was an excellent driving instructor, patient, calm, and very clear in his explanations. He made each lesson feel comfortable and encouraging, which really helped build confidence behind the wheel. His guidance was practical and easy to follow, and he always took the time to correct mistakes in a constructive way. Overall, his supportive approach made learning to drive much smoother and more enjoyable. I am grateful to have passed my driving test because of him.

Tina was my instructor, and she was really helpful and to the point. Her lessons were clear and detailed, which helped me understand everything I needed for my driving. She also provided a detailed report after each lesson, which helped me work on my mistakes and improve. I learned so much from her, and she is the best. She not only focused on helping me pass my driving test, but also helped me develop my overall driving skills and confidence. She made me feel well prepared—and I passed my full driving test on my first attempt! Thank you so much, Tina. I really appreciate everything you’ve done for me.

I have had my free lesson with Gilly which I found so valuable that I paid for a second lesson. Timaru has a high percentage of elderly population who never update their driving skills which is essential with so many rule alterations and increased traffic. I think the refresher course should be compulsory and continue to be free for 70 year plus drivers. I am very grateful for Gilly's nonthreatening and beneficial tuition and feel I am a much more aware driver. Mary

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Rochelle for her time, patience, and excellent training skills. Today was my first driving lesson, and I was initially a bit nervous to learn. However, with her support and guidance, I truly enjoyed the experience and picked up some important tips on the very first day. This has encouraged me to continue practicing, and I was even able to do so this evening with my husband’s support. Thank you Rochelle for your time and support.

Patience, practical and detailed feedback, real experiences, tailored training and fairness were what I got from Yi. I was with him for more than 25 lessons, and he guided me from very limited ability and confidence to competent capabilities. I learned so much from him about safe driving and other practical knowledge and skills. Because of him, I passed my test smoothly and am now able to drive alone confidently and effectively. I went to a long-distance road trip alone after I got my license, I managed to finish this challenge and milestone very smoothly because Yi made me a competitive and confident driver. Highly recommended!! Thanks, Yi.??

I am writing to express my sincere gratitude for the opportunity to learn from my AA full license driving lesson instructor, Mr. Charanjeet Singh. The knowledge and skills I acquired during the driving lessons were substantial. I truly appreciate the dedication, kindness, and expertise demonstrated by my instructor in showing me how to make correct moves when turning, changing lanes, and navigating roundabout intersections. This experience has significantly enhanced my understanding, knowledge, and preparedness for my practical test. I am very pleased with the quality of the teaching provided. I feel much more confident in my abilities as a result. Thank you again, and by God's grace, I passed my full license practical. God bless.

As someone who has just passed their full license, I recommend Michelle to anyone. When I first took my restricted driving test, I went to Michelle to get 5 lessons. It was under her guidance and careful explanations, and I was able to pass on my first go. Then, when I needed to sit my full license test, there was no doubt at all that I needed a couple of lessons from Michelle. I am so glad I made this decision, as through the lessons she was able to elaborate on further details for improvement in my driving and articulate her explanations! She is kind, patient, extremely professional, and an exceptional person and instructor! I absolutely recommend her to anyone!! Thank you Michelle for everything. I will forever be grateful for it~

I had 4 Driving Lessons with Nizam Hassan. He was very calm throughout my lessons which I really appreciated. He was very clear with his instructions and feedback during and after each lesson. We improved with every lesson briefly touching up on the previous before moving forward making sure I had every skill locked down. Thanks to Nizam help I passed my restricted first time. Definitely recommend Nizam Hassan if you want a calm safe environment to develop/increase your driving skills.

Shefali was a great instructor to learn with. She was professional yet her injections of humor made the environment comfortable and easy to learn in. Her instructions were clear and her feedback was very helpful. When I made a mistake, she was direct but never harsh, and she made me feel like a confident and comfortable driver. After a month or so of lessons with her, I passed my restricted on my first attempt. I was lucky to have her and I would recommend her strongly.

I have just completed 10 lessons with Raj with my goals of becoming a confident and safe driver as I work towards passing my restricted license test. Within my first lesson, Raj taught me the “push and pull” and “foot pivot” methods which immediately improved how I drove. I was impressed, and grateful he taught me such a simple and effective method - proof of his knowledge and experience as an AA driving instructor. He was always friendly, giving feedback and/or suggestions in a reassuring way and encouraging me by giving positive feedback when I executed a maneuver correctly. Raj is exactly what you’d look for in a professional and a highly skilled driving instructor. I liked how we were able to have conversations during my lessons which made them more enjoyable and not so stressful or high pressure. I would recommend him to all levels of drivers wanting to get the best improvements with their driving abilities. Thanks to Raj, I completed my restricted license test yesterday and passed on my first try! I look forward to booking defensive driving lessons with Raj in the future.

I got my restricted license yesterday, and I just wanted to come back and leave a review for Sunny. I could not recommend him enough as a driving instructor. I did more than 5 lessons with Sunny and a practice test. He has such a positive and easy to follow method of teaching, his friendly and exciting personality made our lessons genuinely enjoyable. I walked away from our sessions having actually learned new things to help me better my driving. I am not sure if I would have been able to get my restricted without Sunny's help. So thank you very much Sunny for all of your help. 5/5
