Shefali Is a great Driving Instructor. I have learned a lot from her, and she has been instrumental in helping me get my restricted license, I highly recommend her to anyone that is starting off Driving and has just gotten their learners as she is also very calm and patient with new drivers. overall, throughout my time of having driving lessons with her, I enjoyed it a lot.

I had a very positive learning experience with Shefali from AA Driving School. She is extremely kind, patient, calm, and professional, which helped me feel comfortable and confident during every lesson. At the same time, she was appropriately strict when needed, ensuring that I understood the importance of safe and responsible driving. As someone preparing for an overseas license conversion, I especially appreciated how clearly, she explained New Zealand road rules, driving techniques, and test expectations. Her guidance helped reduce my nervousness and anxiety, and her constructive feedback allowed me to steadily improve my driving skills and confidence on the road. Shefali was always supportive, encouraging, and focused on building safe driving habits rather than just teaching to pass the test. I truly enjoyed learning with her and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, friendly, and dedicated driving instructor.

My driving instructor Shefali was absolutely thoughtful, throughout lessons she understood what I needed to work on and my bad habits while driving. Her advice and the way she advised me to complete tasks during the lesson was nothing less than brilliant. I would recommend you book her to have a great experience learning to drive.

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 was a very nervous student and a complete beginner when I first started, but Shefali was incredibly patient with me throughout every lesson. She understood my mistakes, helped me build confidence, and guided me out of that nervous phase with kindness and clarity. Her years of experience on the road show in the way she teaches and supports her students. I highly recommend Shefali to anyone looking for an instructor who is skilled, calm, and truly dedicated to helping learners succeed.

Shefali's training has given me the confidence to go back to driving. While training me she recognised that I was an anxious driver and tailored the lessons accordingly but still allowing me to choose what I wanted to practice on. Shefali gave me useful feedback at the end of every lesson to take home to work on while practicing at home. She is patient and encouraged me in every lesson to keep driving and practicing. I feel safe being taught how to drive by Shefali :)

Shefali Patel, she is a wonderful instruction, I came from a country where people drive on the right side. I am a person who is easily panicked. I am scared by the high speed. Lucky me, I met Shefali, she is the most patient and experienced to help me step by step to overcome my fear and achieve my goal. In my journey, I don't have anyone to help me. Shefali is not only my instructor but also my companion who is always listening and giving the best advice to achieve my goals. She is always there to reply to my messages whenever I don't understand anything about the road code. She has planted the safety first on driving in my mind. I am so grateful to her. If you are concerning to find a driving instructor. I highly recommend Shefali.

Shefali is an amazing instructor. I was incredibly nervous for my first lesson but she was able to make me feel comfortable/relaxed and help me throughout the lesson to what I was suppose to be doing.

Riya

Shefali is a brilliant instructor she's really good and patient at teaching. I was a very anxious driver but started relaxing with every lesson as she talks and encourages me to do better. If i made a mistake then she will tell me what was wrong and how to correct the mistake and I started enjoying the lessons. I will highly recommend her for lessons to become a confident driver and pass the restricted test

Bianca

From two driving lessons with Shefali, I left my two lessons with greater knowledge of road sense. Shefali has been able to build my confidence and as a result I passed my Restricted. As I would drive, she would always point out the dos and don'ts which is something that I will carry through with me in my many years of driving. Shefali is able to provide evident feedback which as a young person I took into consideration. If someone were to say to me do you recommend AA driving school, I am more than certain that I would and recommend Shefali and the hard work and effort she puts into the young individuals she is teaching.

She is very patient and has explained the lessons to me in a very simplified manner until I understood them clearly. She also motivated me constantly as I was panicking. Now I have learned the lessons and also gained the confidence to practice it and to be a promising driver.

Sheeja

Shefali is a well experienced driving instructor. I had been to different instructors over the past years and had never been able to learn the skill of driving. In fact, driving lessons would make me very anxious but Shefali has been very patient with me and it has made me to look forward for the driving lessons with her. Her feedback at the end of every lesson is encouraging and makes me want to try harder. She puts me at ease while I am driving. I would definitely recommend Shefali to anyone with zero driving skills. Keep going Shefali!! God bless you.

Shianne

I’ve always been a very anxious driver. However, booking with Shefali and having lessons with her has made me a much more confident and relaxed driver. She is very knowledgeable, kind, talkative, and has a great sense of humour which helps me to calm down and relax before taking the wheel. She corrects me with the right ratio of stern yet understanding, and because of this, I’ve come to each lesson having improved every time as her instructions are always clear and precise, helping me to become a safer and more aware driver, as well as helping me to form good and safe driving habits. If you are debating on who to choose as a driving instructor, I’d definitely recommend Shefali!!
