Testimonials - Geoff Emson
Ceanna
Geoff was an amazing driving instructor. He was really calm, made driving lessons enjoyable, and helped to build my confidence. He shared lots of great tips for sitting my restricted and is really good at teaching parallel parking. I would really recommend Geoff if your looking for a knowledgeable, relaxed driving instructor with a sense of humour. He was great at teaching the basics of driving but also really helpful with the finer details required for sitting the restricted test and being a safe driver.

He is doing exceptionally well and consistently demonstrates patience when communicating with me, especially when NZSL (New Zealand Sign Language) interpreters are present. His explanations are not only excellent but are also skillfully broken down to facilitate my understanding. In addition, his knowledge and expertise have been invaluable to me. I wholeheartedly anticipate recommending him to my friends and family in the future.

Geoff was very helpful and gave incredibly clear advice and directions. Passed my restricted first try and would say a huge part of that was due to the practice test I took with Geoff. Would definitely recommend Geoff as an instructor and to also sit a practice restricted test

Grigorii
The only way to gain skills of good driving is to learn how to be confident and relaxed behind the wheel, otherwise you may pass your test, but never become really good at driving. I must say, Geoff is great in making you good at it, with positive and friendly attitude, not pushing, but gently directing you to the right way of doing. He also knows a lot of 'know-hows' that are essential for your safety and abilities to be in control of your environment on the road, which was also highly appreciated by me. So, 5 stars, and best recommendations for Geoff!

I took my first road practice test today with the Instructor Geoff Emson and I find him as a good person with humor and a very experienced instructor as well. He is very appropriate for the job he doing and the formal and informal methods he used to teach me to keep very critical things in my mind in driving are absolutely fantastic. I would really love to have an examiner like Geoff for my practice test. Thank you for your skilled teaching techniques.

My practice test was very helpful in highlighting issues and suggesting improvements. Geoff was very friendly and made me feel comfortable during the practice and went through each aspect of the test as well as the requirements for a pass. He specifically pointed out that I needed to check my blind spots more often before turning, which I was commended on by the examiner. I passed my restricted test this morning on the first attempt.
