Dear Emmanuel / strive2drive My Melbourne dad. I cannot begin to thank you for everything you have taught me over the last few months of driving together. Not only how to become a safe & aware driver but also many life lessons that i will forever be grateful for. After moving down here from NSW (where i went through over a million careless driving instructors) i lacked the confidence and motivation to get my license. I always pictured myself driving but never actually believed i would ever accomplish it. This i think was mainly because of all the previous driving instructors i had. My confidence was shot, i did not feel comfortable & i just had such a low faith in myself. This changed as soon as i had my first lesson with what appeared to be a big friendly giant with a funny accent. Emmanuel you have taught me how to become such a safe driver and constantly be aware on the roads, you took me driving to places normal instructors wouldn't for example highways, massive roundabouts, narrow back lanes etc and i am so very thankful for that (no matter how much i whinged), you taught me how to read the roads and to "follow the lights not the losers". You are one of the most patient people i have ever met and also one of the most caring. I look up to you and so should other driving instructors, you truly are one of a kind and have this incredibly fierce determination to help, motivate and inspire people. I've had my license now for a few weeks now and every time i get in my car i think of how hard and crazy the beginning of my journey was, then i think about how easy, hilarious and insightful my lessons were with Emmanuel and i'm forever grateful for all his knowledge. Thank you my Melbourne dad! from little one (Jess) Read Less
